Minh Anh (28 years old, Hanoi) sent Dr Huan a question: “Doctor, my jaw angles are prominent on both sides, which makes my face look quite square. I am considering mandible reduction, but I have noticed that costs vary between clinics. How much does mandible reduction cost, and does the cost include general anesthesia and hospitalization, or are there any additional fees?”
Dr Huan’s quick answer: The mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan is approximately USD 2,300. Before surgery, the doctor will examine the mandibular angles, the degree of jaw prominence, and the overall facial proportions to determine an appropriate extent of surgical correction.
Mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan
The current mandible reduction cost is: (Updated September 2026)
| Service | Cost |
|---|---|
| Mandible reduction | Approximately USD 2,300 |
The USD amount is an approximate conversion and may vary depending on the exchange rate at the time of payment.
If additional procedures such as reduction malarplasty, genioplasty, or other treatments are required, the doctor will assess the individual case and provide a separate cost estimate based on the surgical plan.
What is included in the mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan?
The mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan includes the main stages of consultation, preoperative assessment, surgery, and postoperative care.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Direct consultation with the doctor | Dr Nguyen Duy Huan evaluates the mandibular angles, lower face, and overall facial proportions to determine the cause of a square or wide lower face. |
| 3D Cone Beam CT scan | Provides detailed information about the mandibular angles, lower border of the mandible, and relevant anatomical structures. |
| Surgical planning | The area and extent of bone reduction are determined based on the clinical examination and 3D CT images. |
| Preoperative health assessment | Evaluates the patient’s general health and relevant factors before general anesthesia and surgery. |
| General anesthesia | Mandible reduction is performed under general anesthesia with monitoring by the medical team. |
| Mandible reduction surgery | The surgeon reshapes the mandibular angles according to the individualized surgical plan. |
| Postoperative care | Includes postoperative monitoring, compression dressing, and recovery instructions. |
| Follow-up visits | The doctor monitors recovery and examines the surgical area according to the follow-up schedule. |
Note from Dr Huan: The all-inclusive mandible reduction cost covers the consultation, surgery, and postoperative care listed above, as well as medications used during hospitalization, medical supplies, postoperative hospital stay, and scheduled follow-up visits.
The total cost is clearly explained before surgery, allowing patients to plan ahead without additional charges within the agreed mandible reduction package.
Warning: Potential complications of unsafe mandible reduction surgery
Mandible reduction directly involves the jawbone and surrounding maxillofacial structures. If the surgical indication, technique, or procedure is inappropriate, complications may occur, including:
- Asymmetrical jawline: Uneven bone reduction between the two sides may result in asymmetrical mandibular angles or an unnatural lower facial contour.
- Bleeding or hematoma: These may occur during or after surgery because the maxillofacial region contains a complex network of blood vessels.
- Infection: Intraoral incisions require appropriate care and monitoring to reduce the risk of postoperative infection.
- Altered sensation: Surgery involving the mandible may affect nearby nerves, potentially causing numbness or changes in sensation in certain areas.
- Excessive or inappropriate bone reduction: This may affect the contour of the lower face and overall facial balance.
“No surgical procedure can guarantee that complications will never occur. Therefore, before mandible reduction surgery, clinical examination, assessment of the bone structure using 3D CT imaging, careful surgical planning, and surgery performed under appropriate medical conditions are important steps in managing risks and maintaining patient safety.”
Why does mandible reduction cost more than masseter Botox?
Mandible reduction and masseter Botox target different anatomical structures.
| Criteria | Masseter Botox | Mandible reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Primary target | Masseter muscle | Mandibular bone |
| Suitable for | Wide lower face primarily caused by enlarged masseter muscles | Square or wide lower face primarily caused by the mandibular bone |
| Method | Injection | Surgery |
| General anesthesia | No | Yes |
| Duration of effect | Temporary | Structural change to the bone |
Therefore, the choice between masseter Botox and mandible reduction should not be based on cost alone.
The doctor first needs to determine whether the width of the lower face is primarily caused by the mandibular bone, enlarged masseter muscles, soft tissue, or a combination of these factors before recommending an appropriate treatment.

Frequently asked questions about mandible reduction cost
Can mandible reduction and reduction malarplasty be performed at the same time?
Yes, the two procedures may be combined in appropriate cases. If both procedures are indicated, the doctor will evaluate the facial structure and provide a separate cost estimate based on the surgical plan.
Can mandible reduction and genioplasty be performed at the same time?
Yes, they may be performed together in selected cases. Mandible reduction and genioplasty address different areas: mandible reduction reshapes the mandibular angles, while genioplasty changes the position and shape of the chin.
Does everyone with a wide face need mandible reduction?
No. A wide lower face may be caused by the mandibular bone, enlarged masseter muscles, soft tissue, or a combination of these factors. The underlying cause should be identified before selecting an appropriate treatment.
Does the mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan include a 3D CT scan?
Yes. The mandible reduction cost at Dr Huan includes a 3D Cone Beam CT scan, along with preoperative testing, general anesthesia, medications used during hospitalization, hospital stay, and scheduled follow-up visits.
All costs are explained before surgery, with no hidden charges within the agreed treatment package.
Mandible reduction cost is an important consideration when planning surgery, but cost should not be the only factor in the decision. More importantly, the doctor needs to assess the bone structure, identify the cause of a square or wide lower face, and determine an appropriate extent of surgical correction.
At Dr Huan, patients are personally examined by Dr Nguyen Duy Huan. The maxillofacial structure is assessed using 3D CT imaging, and the surgical plan is developed based on each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
