Cheekbone Reduction + Square Jaw Reduction + Chin Reduction (Genioplasty)
from 5,200,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
This is facial contouring surgery that combines and refines facial bone contours—including the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin—according to the individual’s facial shape. It primarily includes non-resection lifting cheekbone reduction, which moves the cheekbones inward and posterosuperiorly without removing bone; jaw reduction surgery that refines both the mandibular angle and mandibular body; and chin surgery such as T-osteotomy and advancement genioplasty. Forehead reduction may also be planned when necessary. The REAL planning approach is applied, in which the desired degree of change in the actual face is determined first, and the extent of bone surgery is calculated accordingly.

Smart Facial Contouring Surgery is a Facial Contouring Surgery that refines the contours of facial bones—including the cheekbones, Jaw Angle, and chin—through a combination tailored to each individual’s face shape. It centers on no-bone-removal Lifting Cheekbone Reduction, which moves the cheekbones inward and posterosuperiorly without removing bone; jaw reduction surgery, which refines both the mandibular angle and mandibular body; and chin surgery such as T-genioplasty and Advancement Genioplasty. Forehead Reduction Surgery is planned as needed, using the REAL planning method, which first determines the desired amount of change in the actual face.

1. A different surgical plan — REAL
Reduce the face based only on bone? A beautiful face requires more. Changes in the actual face are more important. REAL (Reverse Estimating Amount of Lessen, a reverse-estimation method for the reduction amount)
Facial Contouring Surgery is generally planned based on bone X-rays, but X-rays make it difficult to reflect changes in the actual face, including Soft Tissue, which can result in a discrepancy between the intended outcome and the actual postoperative face. REAL first determines the desired amount of change in the actual face, including Soft Tissue, before reverse-estimating the amount of bone movement and removal, surgical sites, angles, and more. This is Faceline’s Facial Contouring Surgery expertise, designed to address the drawback of outcomes differing from the intended postoperative changes and to create a natural, slim V-line.
2. A different surgical method
SMART 1. No-bone-removal Lifting Cheekbone Reduction — a soft facial line and rejuvenating effect
This method reduces the cheekbones while minimizing sagging by moving the osteotomized bone segment inward and posterosuperiorly without removing bone. In other words, it uses posterosuperior cheekbone repositioning to noticeably reduce the lateral cheekbones without sagging, producing an excellent reduction effect in the actual face. · Without removing bone from the 45-degree cheekbone area, the entire cheekbone is moved inward and simultaneously repositioned posterosuperiorly. · The farther the cheekbone is moved posterosuperiorly, the greater the reduction in the 45-degree cheekbone area. Although the reduction amount increases, sagging can be minimized because no excess skin remains in the 45-degree cheekbone area. · Rather than performing the same procedure uniformly, the angle of the 45-degree cheekbone osteotomy line, the amount of posterosuperior movement, and the amount of posterior-to-medial movement are adjusted according to the shape and size of the cheekbones to create an optimal result for each individual.
Key Technique 1. Minimal cheekbone dissection
The 45-degree cheekbone area is dissected directly without any dissection of the anterior cheekbone, minimizing dissection and preventing cheek sagging.
Key Technique 2. Upper cheek muscle fixation
Fixed in an elevated position after surgery, lifting the skin over the cheekbone as well for a rejuvenating effect.
Key Technique 3. Cheekbone repositioning
After making cuts in the front and back of the cheekbone, the 45-degree cheekbone and lateral cheekbone are repositioned to create a face-reduction effect from the front.
Key Technique 4. Rigid composite fixation
Rigid fixation is performed based on years of surgical expertise.
SMART 2. Jaw reduction surgery — a slim, youthful, beautiful jaw even from the front
Performed with front-view-effect jaw reduction surgery and Slim-Fit mandibular body reduction.
Front-view-effect jaw reduction surgery: After refining the jawline naturally while maintaining a soft angle without excessively cutting the angle beneath the ear, the outermost layer of bone where the jaw muscle attaches is removed. Because both the thickness of the bone itself and the volume of the attached jaw muscle are reduced, the face can appear smaller from the front, and the actual width of the jaw can also be reduced.
Limitations of conventional Jaw Angle surgery: What is commonly called Jaw Angle surgery is a procedure that removes only the corner of the lower jaw, or mandibular angle, and is generally the most commonly performed method. Mandibular angle resection can improve the side facial line to appear softer and slimmer after surgery, but it has limited slimming effects from the front.
Slim-Fit mandibular body reduction is a jaw reduction surgery that reduces and refines the mandibular body to create a natural, slim V-line from every angle. · Refines the entire jaw in one long line from the angle beneath the ear to the side jawline · Removed in one procedure, with no concern for a secondary angle · Reduces the lateral and 45-degree surfaces of the bone for an excellent face-reduction effect from the front · Can improve the jawline into an overall smooth contour · Minimizes volume in the mandibular body area to create a youthful, beautiful jaw
SMART 3. Chin surgery — creating a refined V-line chin
For a wide, blunt chin or a long chin — T-genioplasty · The large movable bone segment allows greater changes to the jawline · Chin length can be adjusted · Minimizes skin sagging · Low risk of nerve injury · Can also be applied when the chin is short (surgery can be tailored to each individual’s face shape)
For a short chin or a small chin that makes the mouth appear protruded — recessed chin surgery
· Advancement Genioplasty: Moves a retruded chin bone forward. The actual length from the neck to the chin becomes longer, improving the neckline as well.
· Implant insertion: The chin can be enlarged or repositioned by inserting an Implant such as Gore-Tex or Silicone implant. It can be simply corrected when the recessed chin is not severe.
· Mandibular advancement surgery: Applied when the lower teeth are positioned too far back, making functional occlusion difficult.
SMART 4. Smart Forehead Reduction Surgery — a shorter, more convex, smoother facial length
This procedure reduces the upper face to shorten the vertical length of the Face, improving facial proportions while preserving the natural hairline and baby hairs.
Key POINT — Diagonal micro-incision: The incision is made diagonally, preserving the hair roots at the front hairline, so the fine Scar Revision becomes hidden among the hair over time. · A natural hairline without concerns about scarring (scarless scalp fixation) · Forehead reduction considering the golden facial ratio (maximizing facial length reduction) · One-on-one customized design tailored to each individual’s Face
3. A different recovery process
· Fast recovery with minimal bleeding and minimal incisions · A systematic one-on-one aftercare system for swelling and pain relief and recovery
