Square Jaw Reduction

Square Jaw Reduction is a procedure that makes a long, curved resection from below the ear to the front of the chin to reduce secondary angles. If necessary, outer cortical bone resection and Buccal Fat Removal may be added to enhance the frontal effect. The nerve pathway is identified with 3D CT, and only the necessary amount is resected.

Recommended for the following individuals

· Those whose angular face gives a harsh impression · Those whose face appears overall large and angular · Those whose face appears to have a lot of empty space · Those with a long chin and a well-developed lower jaw · Those whose jaw appears wide and blunt from the front

More bone removal does not necessarily make you more beautiful

A large Jaw Angle does not become more attractive simply by removing more bone. The key to AB Square Jaw Reduction is appropriately refining the angle below the ear and the jawline without overdoing it.

Surgical Method

STEP 1. Long-curve resection to prevent secondary angles

A long resection is made from below the ear to the front of the chin at a gentle angle tailored to the face, preventing secondary angles and a protruding jaw.

STEP 2. Cortical bone resection for a better frontal effect

The outer cortical bone of the jaw is resected to reduce thickness, making the face appear slimmer from the front.

STEP 3. Buccal Fat Removal for a slimmer appearance

Buccal fat, which may be mistaken for postoperative sagging, is removed together with Square Jaw Reduction when necessary. Buccal fat is a mass of fat extending from the Temple, beneath the cheekbone, to the corner of the mouth.

STEP 4. When chin surgery is needed

When the side jaw is wide, Square Jaw Reduction alone may not achieve a slimming effect from the front. To create a slimmer, smaller facial shape from the front, the width must be smoothly reduced from the Jaw Angle to the chin. Check the changes in the width and shape of the side jaw.

Advantages of AB Square Jaw Reduction

Point 1. Jawline angle adjustment

The jawline angle is designed to suit each individual facial shape, delivering a natural look with maximum effect. · Short face – The jawline angle is raised for a smooth, precise resection. · Long face – Resection is performed naturally to prevent the jawline angle from becoming too high.

Point 2. Natural angle below the ear

An appropriate angle below the ear is preserved according to individual preferences and facial shape, maintaining a natural appearance after surgery.

Point 3. Cortical bone resection to enhance the frontal effect

When the bone is thick, long-curve resection alone may not be sufficient, so cortical bone is also removed to maximize the frontal effect.

Point 4. Preserving what is needed without over-resection

The nerve pathway is identified with preoperative 3D CT, and only the necessary amount is resected. This preserves the nerve pathway while creating a facial shape tailored to each individual.
