Square Jaw Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Do you feel that a prominent, angular lower jaw makes your face look too wide or masculine? Square jaw surgery—also known as mandibular angle reduction—is a specialized facial contouring procedure designed to soften and slim the lower face. In Korea, where facial harmony and V-line aesthetics are highly valued, square jaw reduction is one of the most popular procedures for achieving a more delicate, balanced appearance.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we offer advanced techniques in square jaw surgery, tailored to each patient’s bone structure and cosmetic goals. Whether you're looking to enhance your femininity or create smoother facial lines, our team is committed to helping you achieve natural, elegant results.
Why Choose Square Jaw Surgery?
Square jaw surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Have an overly broad, square, or angular jawline
- Want a softer, more feminine facial silhouette
- Experience facial asymmetry due to uneven jawbone structure
- Seek a slimmer, more proportionate lower face
- Want to achieve a defined V-line or oval face shape
Korea is renowned for its expertise in facial contouring, and our clinic uses cutting-edge tools and artistic precision to ensure safe, transformative outcomes.
Customized Surgical Approach at Light Clinic
No two jawbones are the same—and your surgery shouldn’t be either. At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we create a personalized surgical plan using 3D imaging and facial analysis to achieve the most balanced and flattering jawline possible.
Surgical Techniques May Include:
- Mandibular Angle Reduction: Trimming the jawbone at the angle to reduce squareness and width.
- Cortical Bone Shaving: Removing the outer layer of bone to further slim and refine the face.
- Masseter Muscle Reduction (if needed): In cases of muscle hypertrophy, we may combine surgery with botulinum toxin or partial muscle reduction.
- Chin Contouring (Optional): For those seeking a complete V-line transformation, chin surgery may be performed simultaneously.
- Our surgical methods focus on natural results with smooth transitions, avoiding the “overdone” or artificial look.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Seoul clinic, where we take the time to understand your concerns, analyze your facial structure, and map out your treatment goals.
During your consultation, we will:
- Perform 3D facial scans to evaluate bone thickness and angles
- Review your ideal facial shape and symmetry
- Discuss surgical and non-surgical options
- Share before-and-after photos of past patients
- Create a customized treatment plan with clear recovery expectations
We emphasize honest communication and individualized care throughout the process.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Square jaw surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The surgery is conducted intraorally, meaning all incisions are made inside the mouth—leaving no visible scars.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Anesthesia and Preparation: You’ll be placed under general anesthesia, and the mouth is sterilized.
- Bone Contouring: The surgeon removes part of the jaw angle and shaves the outer bone as needed.
- Optional Chin Surgery: If combined with genioplasty, the chin is reshaped for a harmonious lower face.
- Closure and Recovery: Sutures are placed inside the mouth, and a compression band is applied for support.
Most patients are monitored overnight and discharged the next day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery after square jaw surgery is generally smooth with the right care. While swelling and bruising are expected, they gradually subside over a few weeks.
Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–7: Swelling, tightness, and soft diet
- Weeks 2–3: Reduced swelling, return to light activities
- Week 4 and beyond: Results become more visible
- 3–6 months: Final contour and facial balance are achieved
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and scheduled follow-ups to support your healing process and ensure excellent results.
