Men's Facial Contouring: Why It Must Differ from Women's! Custom Design for Square Jaw and Cheekbones

Men's Facial Contouring: Why Should the Surgical Method Differ from Women's?

A smooth and refined facial line is an important factor in making a favorable first impression. Recently, an increasing number of men are considering facial contouring surgery to achieve a sophisticated line that harmonizes with their facial features, rather than a rough and angular face shape. However, men's facial contouring is completely different from women's in terms of bone thickness, muscle development, and the desired aesthetic standards.

While women's contouring pursues a small and slender 'V-line', the key for men is to emphasize a natural linear beauty that extends to the tip of the chin while appropriately preserving the angle below the ear. This requires a profound understanding of male anatomical structures.

345 FULL Cheekbone Reduction to Enhance Dimensionality

If the cheekbones are excessively prominent, it can create a strong impression and cast shadows, making you look tired. Cheekbone reduction (Malarplasty) should focus on 'repositioning' rather than simple excision.

• 360-Degree 3D Osteotomy: The front, side, and 45-degree cheekbones are fractured according to the individual's degree of protrusion and rotationally moved inward.
• Dual Fixation and Cheek Sagging Prevention: The retaining ligaments are meticulously managed and firmly double-fixed to lower the concern of cheek sagging that may occur after surgery.
• Asymmetry Improvement: The overall facial balance is adjusted by matching the size and angle of the left and right cheekbones.

Long-Curve Square Jaw Surgery that Retains Masculine Charm

For men's square jaw surgery, simply shaving the jaw to make it slender is not the best approach. The angle below the ear must be naturally preserved to maintain masculine sophistication.

345's Long-Curve Square Jaw Surgery prevents secondary angles (staircase effect) by performing a single osteotomy in a gentle curve from below the ear to near the front chin. If necessary, cortical ostectomy to reduce bone thickness or masseter reduction to decrease the chewing muscle can be performed concurrently to enhance the frontal effect.

Customized Chin Surgery that Determines Facial Perfection

The tip of the chin is the pinnacle that completes the overall facial proportions. The position and length of the chin tip must be adjusted considering the angle with the nasal tip and the facial width.

• T-Osteotomy / V-Osteotomy: A wide chin tip is gathered, or its position is advanced/retracted to adjust dimensionality.
• Individual Proportion Optimization: Rather than just a pointy chin, it is designed with the most suitable width and length for your face shape, allowing you to expect natural, non-artificial results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does male facial contouring surgery differ from female facial contouring surgery?

Yes, the aesthetic standards and surgical methods differ. While women pursue a small, slender V-line, the key for men is to appropriately preserve the angle behind the ear while emphasizing a natural, straight line that extends to the chin. Additionally, the thickness of the male skeleton and the degree of muscle development must be considered.

How can cheek sagging side effects be prevented after zygoma reduction surgery?

It is prevented by precisely treating the retaining ligaments and firmly double-fixing them. After 360-degree three-dimensional osteotomy, the bone is rotated inward, and thorough double-fixation reduces the concern of cheek sagging that may occur after surgery.

Can the angle behind the ear be preserved during male square jaw surgery?

Yes, the angle behind the ear can be naturally preserved to maintain masculine sophistication. Through long-curve square jaw surgery, the bone is cut in a gentle curve from below the ear to near the front chin at once to prevent a secondary angle, and if necessary, cortical osteotomy or masseter reduction is performed concurrently.

How is genioplasty performed?

T-osteotomy or V-osteotomy methods are used to adjust the three-dimensionality. The wide chin is gathered or its position is advanced or recessed, and a customized design is performed to achieve the most suitable width and length for one's face shape, considering the angle with the nose tip and face width.

Who checks the progress after surgery?

Dr. Jong-rim Park, the chief director, directly checks the patient's condition and monitors the progress. Through the doctor call system, the chief director personally checks the condition the day after surgery, providing 1:1 responsible care from consultation to surgery with 24 years of experience and know-how.
