Square Jaw Surgery: Features and Advantages of the Natural 'Invisible V-Line' Without Fixation Pins
We have compiled information on the 'Invisible V-Line' square jaw surgery performed by Dr. Park Jong-rim of 345 Plastic Surgery, who holds experience from approximately 10,000 surgeries. Because no fixation pins are used, no surgical traces are left behind, even on X-rays. We introduce the long-curve ostectomy method, which provides harmonious improvement from both the frontal and lateral views, along with our comprehensive aftercare system.
Completing a Natural Face Shape: What is Square Jaw Surgery Without Fixation Pins?
A strong, angular jawline can sometimes interfere with projecting a refined impression. However, many people hesitate to undergo square jaw surgery due to the burden of an artificial look after surgery or the exposure of metal fixation pins on X-rays. Considering these concerns, 345 Plastic Surgery's 'Invisible V-Line' focuses on creating a firm and smooth jawline without the use of fixation pins.
With over 10,000 surgical cases in the field of facial contouring, Dr. Park Jong-rim draws on his extensive clinical experience at university and national hospitals to design a harmonious V-line by analyzing each individual's skeletal asymmetry and soft tissue characteristics.
Core Technology of the Invisible V-Line: Long-Curve Ostectomy and Volume Reduction
Simply shaving off the angular parts can easily cause a secondary angle phenomenon, where the border of the jaw bends like a staircase. To prevent this, the following comprehensive approach is taken.
- Long-Curve Ostectomy: A single, long curved osteotomy is performed from the square jaw below the ear to near the front chin, completing a smooth and continuous line.
- Cortical Bone Removal: The outermost layer of the bone, the cortical bone, is appropriately trimmed to reduce the overall thickness of the jawbone, thereby enhancing the frontal effect.
- Buccal Fat and Muscle Management: By considering not only the bone but also the volume of buccal fat and jaw muscles, the bulkiness caused by soft tissues is improved together.
Advantages and Reliability of Surgery Without Metal Fixation Pins
The method of not using fixation pins during square jaw surgery is suitable for patients who are sensitive to 'surgical traces.' Even if X-rays or CT scans are taken after surgery, no metal objects are visible, resulting in high psychological satisfaction. It is also a good alternative for those who have an aversion to foreign substances in their bodies.
Dr. Park Jong-rim is continuing the legacy of facial contouring surgery into the second generation, following Professor Park Chul-gyu, a founding member of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Seoul National University. He aims to maintain stable results over time by combining traditional research methods with modern surgical techniques.
Post-Operative Care: 345 Doctor Call and Transparent Operating Room Management
To relieve patients' anxiety and support a smooth recovery, 345 Plastic Surgery operates its own special system.
- 345 Doctor Call: Within 24 hours of discharge after surgery, the operating surgeon, Dr. Park Jong-rim, personally calls to check the patient's condition and answer any questions, providing meticulous progress management.
- 24-Hour CCTV Operation: To ensure patients can undergo surgery with peace of mind without worrying about ghost surgeries, CCTVs are operated in the operating rooms, and the surgical process is transparently disclosed upon request.
For a natural V-line, the 'shape of the remaining bone' is more important than the amount of bone resected. Rather than excessive resection, finding the golden ratio that harmonizes with your facial features is the shortcut to achieving satisfactory results.
