Reduction Of The Chewing Muscle And Jaw Bone

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 21295

Reduces the bulk of the large chewing muscle at the angle of the jaw along with some of the bone beneath it, to narrow a squared or overly wide lower face. It is used when that muscle has enlarged, often from years of clenching or grinding, leaving a heavy jawline, discomfort, or an unbalanced facial shape. Reducing both muscle and bone gives a lasting change in contour.
