Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Facial shape is one of the factors that greatly affects your overall impression. Even with the same facial features, a face can look softer or give a stronger impression depending on its contours.
In particular, a square jaw, prominent cheekbones, and a long chin are representative factors that affect facial proportions and lines, and some people consider facial contouring surgery as a way to improve them.
Today, we will take a look at how square jaw reduction, cheekbone reduction, and chin reduction are each performed.
Square Jaw Reduction
Square jaw reduction is a surgery that softens an angular jawline to create a slimmer facial line.
It is performed by removing or reshaping the angular part of the lower jaw bone to soften the overall contours.
When the jawline is strongly developed, the face may appear wider or give a stronger impression, but through square jaw reduction, the jawline can be refined, helping create a softer and more balanced look.
However, the extent of removal and the surgical method may vary depending on the individual's bone structure and facial proportions.
Cheekbone Reduction
Cheekbone reduction is a surgery that moves prominent cheekbones inward to reduce the width of the face and create a more three-dimensional line.
When the cheekbones are pronounced, the face may appear wider from the front, or the three-dimensional effect may be excessively emphasized from the side.
The surgery is performed by cutting the cheekbone, adjusting its position, and fixing it in place. Through this process, the facial width decreases and a softer contour can be expected.
In particular, adjusting both the front cheekbones and side cheekbones together is an important factor in creating natural results.
Chin Reduction
Chin reduction is a surgery that improves facial proportions by adjusting a long or protruding chin.
When the chin is long or projected forward, the face may appear longer or give a heavier impression.
The surgery is performed by cutting the chin bone to shorten its length or shift its position, and its purpose is to balance the vertical proportions of the face more evenly.
Depending on the individual's face shape, it is important to consider the chin's length, width, and position together.
Facial contouring surgery is not simply about improving one area; it is important to plan it with the overall facial proportions and harmony in mind.
Because the square jaw, cheekbones, and chin are interconnected structures, each characteristic should be analyzed together to expect a more balanced facial line.
If you are concerned about your facial contour, it is important to accurately understand your current facial structure and choose the surgical method that is appropriate for you. We recommend checking the direction that fits your facial proportions through a consultation with a specialist.
