Before and After Square Jaw Reduction: Creating a Natural V-Line with Long-Curve Osteotomy Without Secondary Angles
Do you want to soften a strong impression caused by an angular square jaw? 345 Plastic Surgery's long-curve square jaw reduction is a natural facial contouring surgery that smoothly connects the area from under the ear to the front chin, reducing concerns about secondary angles. With precise diagnosis and a systematic aftercare system by Chief Surgeon Dr. Park Jong-lim, who has 24 years of experience, you can expect a safe transformation.
Square Jaw Reduction: Lower Facial Balance That Determines Your Impression
An angular square jaw, one of the main causes of making the face look wide and large, tends to give a strong and stubborn impression rather than a soft one. Because of this, many people consider square jaw reduction (mandible reduction) to achieve a smooth and slender V-line. It is important not to simply shave the bone, but to have a sophisticated design that considers the proportions and symmetry of the entire face.
What is Long-Curve Square Jaw Surgery? Smoothness Without Worrying About Secondary Angles
In the past, square jaw surgery often involved resecting only the angular part under the ear, which sometimes caused a 'secondary angle' phenomenon where the jaw caught like a step between the resected area and the front chin. 345 Plastic Surgery's long-curve square jaw surgery is the latest technique that compensates for these shortcomings.
Core Principles of Long-Curve Square Jaw Reduction:
- The bone is gently cut in a single long curve from the lower part of the ear (mandibular angle) to the vicinity of the front chin.
- Since the osteotomy line is continuous and unbroken, no additional bone cutting is necessary, completing a smooth profile without secondary angles.
Candidates for Square Jaw Reduction and Key Points
Check the list below to choose the most suitable surgical method for you.
- If you are concerned about the wide blank space of your face when viewed from the front
- If you have a prominent L-shaped jawline when viewed from the side
- If your impression looks strong due to a developed square jaw
- If the jawbone is developed long to the tip of the chin, requiring overall contour improvement
3 Core Aspects of 345 Square Jaw Surgery (3 CHECK POINTS)
| Category | Main Details |
|---|---|
| Mitigation of Potential Side Effects | The long-curve osteotomy lowers the possibility of side effects such as secondary angles and stepping phenomena. |
| Customized Angle Adjustment | We adjust the angle of the jawline according to the overall facial proportions to achieve ideal lower facial balance. |
| Asymmetry Correction Effect | We meticulously analyze not only the profile but also the frontal left-right symmetry to help create a balanced face shape. |
Precise Diagnosis and Safe Surgical Process
The beginning of a safe square jaw reduction is accurately understanding the internal structure of the bone that is not visible from the outside. 345 Plastic Surgery analyzes the location of the nerve line, muscle thickness, and bone density from multiple angles through precise 3D-CT analysis.
Through this, we safely resect only what is absolutely necessary, reducing concerns such as nerve damage and forming a smooth jawline.
Systematic Recovery Support: Doctor Call & Recovery Center
Aftercare is just as important as the surgery itself. 345 Plastic Surgery operates an exclusive system so that patients can focus on their recovery with peace of mind.
- 345 Doctor Call: Within 24 hours after surgery, Chief Surgeon Dr. Park Jong-lim personally makes a reassuring follow-up call to check on your progress.
- Recovery Center: Systematic swelling management and progress checks are conducted in a separate, dedicated space.
The Skilled Expertise of a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Because facial contouring surgery involves resecting bone that cannot be reversed, the experience and skill of the operating surgeon are paramount. Chief Surgeon Dr. Park Jong-lim, who holds a Ph.D. in Medicine from Seoul National University, performs surgeries that reduce the physical burden on each patient while delivering expected transformations, based on over 24 years of experience and more than 10,000 clinical cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long-curved square jaw reduction surgery?
It is a surgery that gently shaves the jawbone in a long, curved line from the mandibular angle, which is the area below the ear, to the chin. Because the osteotomy line is continuous and unbroken, it can create a smooth jawline without the step-like secondary angle side effect that appeared in past surgical methods.
How can I prevent side effects during square jaw reduction surgery?
It is essential to understand the internal structure before surgery through 3D-CT precise analysis. Accurately identifying the location of nerve lines, muscle thickness, and bone density, and safely resecting only as much as necessary, can reduce concerns about nerve damage and achieve smooth results.
Who needs square jaw reduction surgery?
It is suitable for those who have a wide facial area when viewed from the front or a prominent L-shaped jaw from the side. It is also an effective surgery for those whose strong impression is due to a developed square jaw, or whose jawbone is long developed to the chin, requiring overall contour improvement and asymmetry correction.
How is post-operative care managed?
Yes, a systematic post-operative care system is provided. Within 24 hours after surgery, Dr. Park Jong-rim, the lead surgeon, personally checks the progress through a '345 Doctor Call', and you can recover with peace of mind by receiving swelling management and progress checks at the dedicated 'Recovery Center'.
