What Is Respect Plastic Surgery’s Approach to Facial Contouring?
Hello and welcome :)
This is Respect Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea.
Today, we’re going to talk about facial contouring surgery — one of the most popular procedures requested by both local and international patients.
Contrary to what some may think, facial contouring is not just about wanting a smaller or prettier face.
Many patients seek this surgery to restore self-confidence, correct facial asymmetry, improve their image in social or professional settings, or overcome long-standing insecurities about prominent cheekbones, square jaws, or bulky chins.
In the past, the trend focused on ultra-small “celebrity-like” faces.
But now, most patients prefer a natural, harmonious facial balance — not “make it as small as possible,” but “make it look natural and proportionate for me.”
Before explaining the specifics of facial contouring, let’s go over the key difference between facial contouring surgery and two-jaw surgery.
Although both involve reshaping facial bones, their purpose, method, and suitable candidates are completely different.
What Is Two-Jaw Surgery?
Two-jaw surgery (also known as orthognathic surgery) involves cutting and repositioning both the upper and lower jaws.
This surgery is primarily performed to correct functional issues, not for aesthetic improvement.
It is recommended for patients with severe malocclusion (bad bite), underbites, overbites, jaw misalignment, or conditions like sleep apnea.
Facial asymmetry caused by skeletal problems may also require two-jaw surgery for fundamental correction.
What Is Facial Contouring Surgery?
Facial contouring is a cosmetic procedure designed to refine the shape of the face by reducing prominent facial bones and creating a smaller, smoother silhouette.
Unlike two-jaw surgery, facial contouring does not involve moving the jaw structure.
Instead, it focuses on trimming or shaving down protruding areas.
The most common target areas include cheekbone, jaw angle, and chin.
If your bite is normal and there’s no dental or orthodontic diagnosis regarding jaw position, facial contouring is often sufficient.
