Jaw Masculinization
Jaw masculinization uses an implant on each angle of the jaw, just below the ears, to widen the lower face and give it a squarer shape. Dr. Jesús Lago operates at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid and welcomes patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

How Jaw Masculinization Works
We operate from inside the mouth, so there's no visible incision. Under general anesthesia, we place an implant against the bone on each angle of the jaw. Your face will be swollen for the first few days, but you'll already see your new jawline when you leave the hospital.

Inside the mouth. Dr. Jesús Lago makes the incision there, so there's no scar on your face.
From day one. You can see your new jawline when you leave the hospital. Your face will be swollen for the first few days, then the swelling goes down.
Two implants designed for the angles of the jaw (mandibular angles). Dr. Jesús Lago places one on each side, under general anesthesia.

Yes. Dr. Jesús Lago often plans jaw masculinization as part of a wider treatment plan, alongside chin surgery or Adam's apple augmentation. At your consultation, he decides what can be done in the same operation and what is better done in stages.
