Facial Contouring Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Do you feel your facial structure lacks definition or symmetry? Facial contouring surgery is a transformative procedure that reshapes and refines the bones and soft tissues of the face to achieve a more balanced, harmonious appearance. Korea is globally recognized for its leadership in facial bone surgery—offering some of the most advanced, safe, and natural-looking contouring procedures in the world.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in facial contouring surgery tailored to your individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and cultural preferences. Whether you want a slimmer jawline, a more sculpted cheekbone, or better facial symmetry, our expert surgeons combine technical precision with artistic sensibility to bring your ideal face shape to life.

Why Consider Facial Contouring Surgery?

Facial structure plays a major role in overall appearance, and subtle changes to the bones or soft tissues can dramatically improve your facial balance. People seek facial contouring surgery to:

• Slim down a wide or square jaw
• Reduce prominent cheekbones
• Create a V-line or heart-shaped facial contour
• Improve chin projection or jaw asymmetry
• Correct congenital facial imbalance or trauma-related deformities
• Achieve a more feminine or masculine facial silhouette

Korea’s facial contouring specialists are renowned for their skill in achieving noticeable improvements with minimal scarring and fast recovery.

Consultation and Surgical Planning

Facial contouring surgery requires a personalized, detail-oriented approach. At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we perform a full facial analysis using X-rays and 3D imaging to plan the procedure precisely.

Your consultation includes:

• Bone structure and soft tissue assessment
• Symmetry analysis and facial ratio evaluation
• Review of aesthetic goals and ideal face shape
• Discussion of recommended surgical techniques
• Before-and-after simulations or photo examples
• Transparent explanation of risks, recovery, and long-term expectations

We take pride in crafting surgical plans that respect your ethnic features and enhance your natural beauty.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Facial contouring surgeries are performed under general anesthesia and typically take 2–4 hours, depending on the procedure(s).

Surgical Steps:

• Internal incisions (inside the mouth) to avoid visible scars
• Use of specialized bone-cutting and shaving tools for high precision
• Minimal trauma techniques to reduce swelling and promote faster healing
• Closing with dissolvable sutures inside the mouth
• Application of compression garments or bandages post-op

Hospital stay may be required for 1–2 nights, depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from facial contouring varies by procedure and patient, but most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 weeks.

Aftercare Tips:

• Follow a soft or liquid diet for the first 7–10 days
• Avoid strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks
• Apply cold compresses and wear compression bands as advised
• Practice good oral hygiene to prevent infection
• Swelling subsides over 1–2 months; final results become visible in 3–6 months

Our clinic provides continuous monitoring and multilingual post-op support, especially for international patients visiting Korea for surgery.
