Jawline Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Do you feel your jawline is too wide, square, or undefined for your liking? Jawline surgery—also known as mandibular contouring or V-line surgery—is a transformative facial contouring procedure popular in Korea, designed to slim, reshape, and define the lower face. Whether you're aiming for a delicate V-line silhouette or a stronger, more chiseled jaw, Korea’s leading plastic surgery clinics offer precision techniques and artistic expertise to help you achieve your ideal look.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in natural-looking jawline transformations that bring harmony to your facial features. With state-of-the-art technology and board-certified surgeons, we provide safe, customized solutions tailored to your bone structure and cosmetic goals.
Why Choose Jawline Surgery?
Jawline surgery is chosen by both women and men for a variety of reasons, including:
- Reducing the appearance of a wide or square jaw
- Correcting facial asymmetry
- Achieving a slimmer, more youthful V-line shape
- Enhancing definition and balance in the lower face
- Creating a smoother jaw contour after weight loss or aging
Whether your goal is a gentle refinement or a dramatic contour change, jawline surgery can elevate your entire facial aesthetic.
Customized Jawline Contouring Techniques
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we take a highly individualized approach to every jawline procedure. Your treatment plan will depend on your existing bone structure, soft tissue volume, and ideal aesthetic.
Popular Techniques Include:
- Mandibular Angle Reduction: Shaving or contouring the back portion of the jaw to soften and slim the face.
- Cortical Bone Removal: Thinning the jaw’s outer bone layer for a sleeker appearance.
- Chin Advancement or Reduction (Genioplasty): Adjusting the chin’s projection and shape to complement the jawline.
- T-Osteotomy or V-Line Surgery: A combined approach to narrowing both the jaw angle and chin for a seamless V-shape contour.
- Advanced 3D CT imaging is used to plan the surgery in detail, ensuring safe and symmetrical outcomes.
Consultation and Planning
Your first step is a detailed consultation with one of our jawline specialists. During this session, we will:
- Conduct 3D facial scans and bone assessments
- Discuss your cosmetic goals and expectations
- Analyze jaw angle, chin projection, and symmetry
- Review before-and-after cases of similar facial types
- Recommend the safest, most effective approach for you
Our team prioritizes both aesthetics and safety, crafting a personalized surgical plan for optimal long-term satisfaction.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Jawline surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on complexity. It is done intraorally (from inside the mouth), leaving no visible scars.
Surgical Process:
- Anesthesia and Incision: General anesthesia is administered, and incisions are made inside the mouth.
- Bone Contouring: The jawbone is precisely sculpted and reshaped to match your desired contour.
- Chin Adjustment (if needed): A sliding genioplasty may be performed to refine the chin.
- Closure and Stabilization: Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and bandages or a compression garment is applied.
Most patients stay one night at the clinic for monitoring before being discharged.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from jawline surgery requires rest and attention to post-op care, but the transformation is well worth it. Swelling and mild bruising are normal and typically improve significantly within 2–3 weeks.
Recovery Timeline:
- First 7 days: Liquid diet, mild swelling and discomfort
- 2–3 weeks: Return to daily activities, swelling reduces
- 4–6 weeks: Noticeable results begin to show
- 3–6 months: Final results become visible as residual swelling resolves
Follow-up visits will be scheduled to ensure proper healing and monitor your progress.
