MTF Jaw Augmentation Surgery in Bangkok, Thailand — By Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD
Overview of the Surgery
MTF (Male-to-Female) Jaw Augmentation is a key component of Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS), designed to refine and soften masculine jaw features into a smoother, more delicate contour. At Dr. Jaray Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Bangkok, Dr. Jaray Krainam, MD — a board-certified plastic and aesthetic surgeon with over 20 years of experience — specializes in balancing facial proportions to achieve a feminine, harmonious appearance. The surgery focuses on enhancing jawline shape and projection while maintaining natural definition and structural stability.
🩺 Preparation Before Surgery
Before surgery, a comprehensive facial evaluation is performed, including:
- 3D facial imaging and detailed consultation with Dr. Jaray.
- Blood tests and general health screening.
- Discussion of desired outcomes and facial balance goals.
- Cessation of smoking, alcohol, and certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) at least 2 weeks before surgery.
Patients are advised to maintain stable weight and avoid supplements that may affect healing.
🔪 Surgical Procedure
Under general anesthesia, the procedure involves:
- Incisions made inside the mouth or beneath the jawline to minimize visible scars.
- Modification of the mandibular angles and chin contour using implants or bone sculpting.
- Adjusting bone structure to achieve a slimmer, smoother, and more feminine appearance.
- Meticulous suturing to promote rapid healing and a natural jawline transition.
Surgery time usually lasts 3–5 hours, depending on the complexity and the techniques used.
💆 Post-Operative Care
After surgery:
- Patients typically stay 1 night at the clinic for observation.
- Swelling and mild discomfort may occur for 1–2 weeks; these subside gradually.
- A soft diet is recommended for 7–10 days.
- Avoid strenuous activities and excessive jaw movement for 3–4 weeks.
- Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing and symmetry.
Results are visible within 1–2 months, with final contouring achieved after 3–6 months.
⚠️ Possible Risks and Complications
While MTF jaw augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:
- Temporary numbness or swelling
- Minor asymmetry or contour irregularities
- Infection or hematoma (rare)
- Implant displacement (if used)
- Delayed healing in smokers or patients with health conditions
Dr. Jaray minimizes these risks through careful planning, advanced surgical precision, and personalized postoperative care.
