Square Jaw Reduction
in Korea
Eliminate the harsh 90° angle.
We combine Long-Curve Osteotomy and Cortical Resection for slimness from every angle.

Square Jaw Reduction (Mandibuloplasty) reshapes the mandibular angle (the corner of the jaw under the ear).
A "square" look is often caused by three factors: Protruding Bone, Thick Cortical Bone (width), and Masseter Muscle.
Top-tier Korean techniques do not just chop off the corner. We perform a "Long-Curved" cut to prevent secondary angles and remove the outer layer of the bone (Cortical Resection) to maximize the frontal slimming effect.
The nerve line dictates the limit of resection. We use 3D-CT to map this nerve and leave a safety margin to prevent permanent numbness.
Cutting the angle only changes the side profile. We remove the outer bone layer to slim the face from the front view.
Old methods created a "dog-ear" or secondary angle. We cut in a continuous smooth curve toward the chin.
Is your jaw wide due to bone, muscle, or fat? Diagnosis comes first.
Jaw Reduction treats the back angle.
V-Line treats the back angle + the chin tip.

We combine three procedures to ensure maximum slimness.
Instead of a straight cut which leaves a "step," the bone is resected in a long, continuous curve from below the ear extending near the chin area.
The jawbone has three layers. We carefully shave off the outermost layer. This reduces the actual width/thickness of the jaw.
If the muscle is overly developed, we use high-frequency energy to shrink the muscle volume from the inside during the surgery.
| Method | Effectiveness | Duration | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Botox | Muscle only | 3-6 Months | None |
| Square Jaw Surgery | Bone + Muscle (Permanent) | Permanent | 1-2 Weeks |
| Cortical Resection Only | Front width only | Permanent | 1 Week |
| Estimated Cost | $4,500 ~ $8,000 | ||
* Prices vary depending on whether Cortical Resection and Muscle Reduction are included.
Jaw surgery recovery is faster than you think, but patience is required for the final shape.
Face will be swollen. A compression bandage is worn. Soft liquid diet only.
Intraoral stitches are removed or dissolve. Most patients return to desk jobs.
The "chipmunk" look fades. You can start eating normal (soft) food. Mouth opening exercises begin.
The remaining 10-20% of minor swelling disappears, revealing the sharp bone line.
We believe in informed consent. Here are the risks we manage.
The inferior alveolar nerve runs through the jaw. Damage can cause numbness. Prevention: Precise CT planning and safety margins.
If the cut is too straight, a new angle forms halfway down the jaw. Prevention: Long-curved osteotomy technique.
Rare. Stress on the jaw joint during surgery. Prevention: Careful manipulation and experienced surgeons.
Post-op swelling may look uneven. True asymmetry is minimized by measuring bone resection weight/size.
