Facial contouring surgery in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: square jaw, cheekbone and chin surgery planned with 3D-CT for a balanced face shape.
Typical ranges for facial contouring surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is facial contouring surgery?
Facial contouring surgery reshapes the facial bones — the jaw angle, cheekbones and chin — to create a slimmer, more balanced face shape. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons plan square jaw reduction, cheekbone reduction and V-line chin surgery with 3D-CT.
Face shape is determined mainly by bone, so procedures that reduce or reposition bone give changes that soft-tissue treatments cannot. The jaw, cheekbones and chin can be treated alone or together, and Marble also offers soft contouring for those who need a smaller change. Nerve position is mapped on CT before surgery.
Who is facial contouring surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A wide or square lower face
- Prominent or wide cheekbones
- A long, short, wide or asymmetric chin
- People who want a smoother oval or V-shaped outline
How facial contouring surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon analyzes X-ray and 3D-CT images to map bone shape and nerve pathways, and explains which bones need to be adjusted to reach the outline you want.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Reshaping the facial bones Through incisions inside the mouth, and a small one in the hairline for cheekbones, the jaw angle, cheekbone or chin is reduced or repositioned and fixed securely.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling is greatest in the first week and most of it settles within two to four weeks, with the final contour appearing over three to six months. A soft diet and a compression band are usually recommended early on.
- Regenerative laser care
- Ultrasound and radiofrequency care
- Before-and-after X-ray and CT imaging
- Recovery kit to take home
