Square Jaw Reduction

JK Square Jaw Reduction is a procedure that considers bone, muscle, and fat together to refine an angular jawline into a naturally curved, slimmer line. Depending on the facial type, the appropriate method is selected from mandibular angle reduction, cortical bone reduction, Mini V-Line chin reduction, or long-curve osteotomy; Buccal Fat Removal or masseter muscle resection may also be performed if necessary.

Features of JK Square Jaw Reduction

Point 1. Facial bone surgery expertise built since 1998

Square Jaw Reduction incorporates JK's technical expertise and know-how, which began with facial bone plastic surgery in 1998. A dedicated team of facial bone specialists with more than 10 years of experience and staff work together.

Point 2. A beautiful line from every angle

Through a multifaceted, technical approach that considers bone, muscle, and fat, we create a slim line suited to your Face.

Point 3. A natural line with defined curves

Excessive resection solely to make the Face smaller can create an artificial straight line (left). JK creates a natural facial line with defined curves by considering the golden ratio of the Face (right). The goal is not simply a small, slim V-line, but a facial shape that harmonizes with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Surgical Methods by Facial Type

Mandibular Angle (Angle Below the Ear) Reduction

As the most basic form of Square Jaw Reduction, this procedure is performed to create a natural curve when the angle below the ear is prominent and positioned low. It creates a slim, smooth facial line extending to the chin and is especially effective from the side view.

Cortical Bone Reduction

This procedure removes the outermost layer of the lower jawbone, helping reduce the width of the Face from the front. It is a precise procedure that can only be performed by an experienced specialist.

Mini V-Line – Chin Reduction

This procedure creates a V-line by reducing a round, blunt chin when the lower Jaw Angle is not significantly developed. While preserving the natural side jawline, the chin bone is osteotomized in a T-shape and brought together to create a slimmer line.

Long-Curve Osteotomy

This method involves a longer resection than conventional mandibular angle reduction, allowing Square Jaw Reduction and chin correction to be performed simultaneously. It is an efficient surgical method that can also correct left-right asymmetry.

Procedures Performed Together

Buccal Fat Removal

When there is substantial cheek fat and bone resection alone is insufficient to achieve a slim line, this procedure is performed together to enhance the effects of Facial Contouring Surgery.

Masseter Muscle Resection

When an enlarged masseter muscle makes the Face appear wide, the inner surface of the muscle is resected to reduce its thickness. The effects last longer than wrinkle-relaxing injections and reduce facial width from the front.
