This is a facial contouring surgery that creates a slender V-line by shaving down the angles of the developed jawbone.
Square jaw reduction is a surgery that slims the lower face by osteotomizing and trimming the mandibular angle (jawbone angle) that has developed laterally and backward. Accessed through the inside of the mouth, it leaves no external scars, and creates a natural line using curved osteotomy.
Accessed through an intraoral incision, the developed mandibular angle is osteotomized into a curve, and the outer cortical bone is trimmed to reduce its width (cortical bone resection can be performed concurrently). Precise planning is crucial to avoid nerve and blood vessel damage.
Temporary sensory loss may occur due to nerve damage, and management of bleeding and swelling is required. As this is a skeletal surgery, a precise diagnosis (CT) is essential.
Accessed from the inside of the mouth, there are no visible scars on the outside.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks to return to daily activities, and the recovery period involves 2 to 4 weeks for swelling and 2 to 3 months for settling in. If you are traveling for a short period, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
