T Osteotomy / V-Line Square Jaw Surgery / Facial Contouring / Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery, Selected as an Excellent Facial Contouring Hospital by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2009

Square jaw surgery is usually a procedure that softens the angular part of the jaw.

How are T-osteotomy surgery and V-line surgery different?

If you look at the before-and-after photos, changes in the chin are observed.

V-line surgery is a procedure that also corrects the chin area.

Therefore, it is a procedure that adds a little to the cost, and the recovery period is also more than a week.

Compared with square jaw surgery, which has a recovery period of 5–7 days, it is somewhat longer.

 

While performing square jaw surgery, bone movement to bring the chin forward was carried out at the same time.  

While performing square jaw surgery, bringing the chin forward

and also reducing the width of the front part of the jaw from the front

is the appeal of T-osteotomy surgery.  

What made such a high-level surgery possible

was not only the advancement of surgical techniques,

but also the development of surgical instruments along with science, which made a major contribution.

If you look at the photo below, it is an intraoperative photo of the patient.

In the photo, you can see that there is almost no bleeding.

The cut surface of the bone is also very clean.

This became possible because the advent of an ultrasonic bone-cutting device made more delicate surgery possible.

The purple-and-gold tip above is the device that generates ultrasonic waves to cut the bone.

It looks like a blade, but even if it touches the hand while operating, the hand is not injured.

Although this blade is not sharp,

it is characterized by vibrating only 0.2 mm, so soft tissue is not damaged!!

With this principle, the ultrasonic cutter does not damage nerves or blood vessels.
