A surgery that reduces the angular mandible (square jaw) through osteotomy and resection to create a slender jawline.
Overview
Square jaw reduction osteotomizes and resects the protruding mandibular angle bone, combined with outer cortex osteotomy and masseter muscle reduction, to soften the angular jawline. Accessed through intraoral incisions, there are no external scars. The procedure requires general anesthesia and careful surgical planning.
Mechanism
Through an intraoral approach, the surgeon exposes the mandibular angle and performs osteotomy using reciprocating saws or burrs. The protruding angle bone is resected, and the outer cortex of the mandibular body may be additionally shaved (cortical osteotomy) for further slimming. If the masseter muscle is hypertrophic, partial resection or Botox may be added. The bone is smoothly contoured to create a natural transition from the chin to the angle area.
Effects
Reduced mandibular angle prominence, slender and V-shaped jawline, softened facial contour from the front and 45-degree views, smaller face appearance, and more feminine jaw shape.
Duration
Permanent; bone does not regrow once properly resected
Recovery
Significant swelling for 3-4 weeks (peaks at 3-5 days). Compression garment worn for 1-2 weeks. Soft and liquid diet for 2-3 weeks. Jaw numbness for weeks to months. Return to work at 2-3 weeks. Final result at 3-6 months.
Side Effects
Significant swelling and bruising. Temporary or prolonged jaw numbness (inferior alveolar nerve). Risk of asymmetry, nerve injury, excessive or insufficient bone removal, sagging jowls, tooth damage, infection, and hematoma. Careful preoperative 3D CT planning is essential.
Price Range
4,000,000-8,000,000 KRW
Target Audience
Those with a square or angular jawline, those seeking a slender V-shaped face, and those wanting to soften a strong or masculine jaw contour.
