Recently, many men have become much more interested in their appearance, so it is not hard to find people visiting plastic surgery clinics. Among various cosmetic procedures, the share of contouring surgeries such as male square jaw surgery is also increasing. Men can look more masculine when their features are more defined, but if that is taken too far, the face can appear rough, so surgery can be used to improve it. As this is frequently seen in reviews of A Top Plastic Surgery, we hope men who are considering facial contouring can make a wise choice.

Differences in Facial Contours Between Men and Women

Facial contour surgery is something many people are interested in regardless of gender, but because men and women have different bone shapes and ideal face shapes, surgery plans must be made with these differences in mind. Men generally have thicker and larger bones than women. That is why contour surgery should not be done in the exact same way or create the same shape for everyone. Since bone structure, shape, thickness, and proportions all differ, applying a uniform standard regardless of gender can lead to dissatisfaction.

Before surgery, it is best to undergo a 3D-CT scan to check each person's unique contour bone shape, form, and concerns, then use that as the basis for consultation and design before establishing a male square jaw surgery plan.

For men, the surgery should not simply involve shaving down the bone. Women suit a soft, curved face shape well, but men need somewhat stronger lines to look masculine. For that reason, unnecessary areas should be reduced while preserving the angles and lines appropriately. The cheekbones, square jaw, and chin should all match the patient's image, while maintaining masculinity and a natural face shape that looks well-balanced.

Male Cheekbone Surgery That Brings Out Clear Definition

In the case of cheekbone reduction surgery, the design should be based on the specific pattern of cheekbone development. Because the degree and location of prominence differ from person to person, such as side cheekbones, front cheekbones, and 45-degree cheekbones, a surgical plan suited to each case must be established. If unnecessary bone is removed or too much is resected, cheek sagging or hollowness may occur after surgery. If fixation is not done properly, complications such as nonunion can also occur, so firm fixation is necessary.

The key point that allows proper reduction from any angle without excessive resection is the MMP area, where the cheekbone protrudes the most. By performing L-shaped osteotomy on this high point and using an oblique rather than vertical cut, the cheekbone line can be improved into a softer contour. It can also prevent a step-off where part of the cheekbone protrudes, and create a natural contour line extending from the cheekbone down to the angled line of the male square jaw surgery.

The finishing step of surgery is fixation, and if not only front and back fixation but also upper fixation is performed as triple fixation, it can help prevent cheek sagging and bone resorption caused by nonunion. Please consider cheekbone surgery that takes muscle and skin sagging into account so that there is no drooping and facial expressions and muscle movement do not feel awkward, resulting in a natural and soft line.

Male Square Jaw Surgery With a Balanced Angle

A man's jaw should be somewhat larger and fuller than a woman's, and the line should have a slight angle to look masculine. However, if the angle is too sharp, the face may look rough and strong, so it should be softened while preserving an appropriate angle and line.

For those whose square jaw under the ear is overly developed, a long curved resection down to the jawline can create a beautiful face shape with an appropriate V-line. Since step-offs and secondary angles must be prevented, male square jaw surgery should use long curved resection. If the patient has thick bones, cortical shaving that removes the outer cortical bone can reduce the thickness so the facial bones do not appear overly bulky from the front.

For men who chew with strong force and often clench their jaw, masseter reduction surgery is another method used in male square jaw surgery. In some men who have a lot of facial fat, buccal fat removal and facial fat liposuction can reveal the jawline that was previously hidden. Since not only bone but also muscle and fat can be developed in a way that makes the face appear square-jawed, the procedure should match each person's type.

Chin Surgery With a Natural Design

The chin, located at the point where the face ends, can create a strong synergy when performed together with male square jaw surgery. If the chin is long, setback surgery can move it backward to adjust the length. Or, if it is long and also wide horizontally, T-osteotomy can be used to refine its shape into a natural chin line. On the other hand, if the bone structure is set back, advancement surgery can be performed to move it forward and adjust the length. For men with a receding chin, an implant can be inserted to create the chin tip shape and finish with a masculine chin.

Facial contour surgery is a procedure that shapes and reduces bone. Once bone has been cut away, it does not regenerate, so planning contour surgery requires great caution. We hope you can improve your face with a design that removes only unnecessary bone, leaves behind a beautiful bone shape without excessive resection, and results in a masculine appearance with strong lines and angles, as seen in reviews of A Top Plastic Surgery.
