What Matters More Than the Cost of Facial Contouring Surgery Is Understanding the Bone Structure Before Proceeding!

Recently, modern people’s needs regarding beauty have become more diverse. Because of that, many people have concerns about their appearance and think about ways to improve it. In such cases, if there are no issues with the facial features themselves, the problem may be a square or broad face shape.

Even if your features are not especially striking, if your face shape is beautiful on its own, you can reveal your unique personality through makeup and various styling methods, and still achieve a sufficiently refined look.

To improve this kind of face shape, people begin to consider the cost of facial contouring surgery, a procedure that addresses the issue by identifying and reducing the bone structure. However, because it is such a major decision, it is not easy to make quickly. Still, since it is difficult to live with an appearance-related complex for the rest of your life, many people make the decision with great courage.

In the past, only a narrow, slim, egg-shaped face was popular, but recently, when viewed from the side, faces that retain a slightly three-dimensional angle, without overly prominent cheekbones, and that look more atmospheric and elegant on camera, have been gaining popularity.

Because of this, if you have a developed jaw angle near the ears, are concerned about a wide face shape, have both the jaw and muscles developed, or want a slim V-line face, you may look into the cost of facial contouring surgery and seek improvement by understanding the bone structure.

Today, for people like this, we would like to explain the long curved square jaw reduction procedure. If the square jaw near the ears, called the mandibular angle, is removed too extensively, a secondary angle or side effects from excessive reduction may occur.

The long curved square jaw reduction procedure naturally preserves the angle near the ears while removing the broad lower jaw area all the way to the side of the chin in one long curved line. This allows for a clear frontal effect and a slim V-line, while also pursuing a natural beauty that does not look like the square jaw was corrected.

Through one-on-one dedicated treatment, the long curved square jaw reduction procedure can create a golden-ratio V-line, improve facial asymmetry, and produce a natural, refined impression. It can also improve the jaw line from the square jaw near the ears to the front chin line, making it slimmer overall.

  So, how is the long curved square jaw reduction procedure performed?

Depending on the cause of the developed square jaw, such as developed bone, muscle, or fat, suitable methods are combined and carried out.

First, if the square jaw is developed because the lower jawbone is wide and flared, the long curved square jaw reduction procedure removes the area from the jaw near the ears to the chin tip in a smooth curve all at once. At this time, the angle is preserved naturally, and a dramatic effect can be expected, with a slimmer appearance in every direction—front, side, and 45 degrees—after a single procedure. This is why the medical team’s experience and technique are very important.

In addition, depending on the need, muscle reduction and cortical bone resection may be performed together to complete the dramatic result.

If the bone itself is thick, cortical bone resection, also called lateral cortical osteotomy, is performed together with the long curved square jaw reduction procedure.

Through this, a slimmer and narrower face width and a smoother jaw line can be created.

Lastly, if bone development is minimal and only the chewing muscles such as the masseter and biting muscles are developed, Botox alone may be sufficient to achieve the desired effect.

Also, when square jaw reduction surgery is performed, some atrophy of the muscle itself occurs, so the effect of muscle reduction can be seen as well.

However, if you want a semi-permanent Botox effect or if both the bone and muscles are developed, performing muscle reduction together with square jaw reduction can help achieve a slimmer V-line effect.

When carrying out a procedure that changes the facial skeleton, it is important to obtain detailed examinations of the area being treated and understand many factors such as the skeletal structure and the locations of blood vessels and nerves.

At April 31, 2D and 3D images are captured simultaneously with 3D-CT optimized for contouring surgery, and based on this, the amount of change can be directly checked with the eyes, enabling precise analysis and accurate, error-free treatment.

 

If you were looking into the cost of facial contouring surgery and wanted to improve your facial line by understanding the bone structure, we hope you will work with Dr. Park Seong-wan, the board-certified plastic surgeon in charge of facial contouring at April 31, to achieve the line you want.
