Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

We will answer the questions you have been wondering about.

Q. In contour surgery, which is more important: aesthetics or function? If there are no functional problems and I am only concerned about appearance, can I still have contour surgery?

Contour surgery is often known as a “cosmetic improvement surgery,” but in reality, it is a method of operating on both the upper and lower jaws at the same time, so functional issues and cosmetic purposes are closely intertwined.

In general, people who experience discomfort due to a protruding jaw, asymmetry of the upper and lower jaws, or bite problems become interested in contour surgery.

It may seem like it is simply a matter of jaw shape, but it is often accompanied by chewing function, speech, temporomandibular joint pain, and even psychological stress.

In the end, the goal of this surgery is to restore both facial balance and function at the same time.

Contour surgery fundamentally aims to improve function.

A proper bite affects not only eating but also jaw joint health, headaches, and even overall body balance.

However, in actual clinical practice, as much as functional improvement, harmonious changes in the face also account for a large part of patient satisfaction.

In other words, contour surgery can be viewed as having a relationship like inseparable partners, where function and aesthetics cannot be separated.

Contour surgery is certainly not a procedure that should be decided lightly.

However, if it is carried out through an accurate diagnosis, a detailed plan, and collaboration among experienced medical staff, it can be an effective treatment that resolves functional problems while also achieving facial harmony.

If you are considering surgery, it is advisable to make a decision from a long-term perspective by fully consulting and preparing, and by considering what it means to you and what changes you can expect.
