Facial Contouring Surgery in Korea

Facial contouring surgery reshapes the facial bones to create a smaller, softer, and more balanced face. Here at NANA Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, Seoul, we focus on improving facial proportions while maintaining a natural look from every angle. This guide covers the two most common facial contouring procedures in Korea, Long Curve V-line (jaw) surgery and cheekbone (zygoma) reduction, along with what to expect for pain and how long results last.

What Is Facial Contouring Surgery in Korea?

These surgeries focus on improving facial proportions while maintaining a natural look from every angle. Read on to see how Long Curve V-line surgery and cheekbone reduction each work, and how the two compare.

What Is Long Curve V-Line Surgery for a Square Jaw?

Instead of creating a sharp or secondary angle, this technique produces a soft, continuous jaw curve, resulting in a more natural and refined V-line appearance. Every plan is based on 3D-CT measurements of chin thickness, bone length, and nerve positioning.

How Does Cheekbone Reduction (Zygoma Reduction) Work in Korea?

Wide or protruding cheekbones can make the face appear larger and flatter. By repositioning the cheekbone forward, this procedure creates a smaller face with more defined and harmonious contours. To keep the cheekbone stable, NANA uses tight fixation and robust anchoring.

V-Line Jaw Surgery vs. Cheekbone Reduction: Which Area Is It For?

Who Considers V-Line Surgery or Cheekbone Reduction?

• A square or angular jaw you would like softened into a continuous curve
• Wide or protruding cheekbones that make the face look larger and flatter
• A wish for a smaller face with more defined, harmonious contours
• A preference for a natural look from every angle

Is V-Line or Cheekbone Reduction Surgery Painful?

The first few days are usually the most uncomfortable due to swelling and tenderness around the incision areas.

Some patients experience jaw or ear pain because the surgery involves bone reshaping, but these symptoms gradually improve as healing progresses. To read how patients described their own recovery, see the patient reviews below.

Are V-Line and Cheekbone Reduction Results Permanent?

Because the bone itself is reshaped in both V-line surgery and cheekbone reduction, maintaining your results is about the skin and soft tissues. This may include:

Jaw and Cheekbone Contouring Patient

"I was always self-conscious about my angular jaw and I had a big face before the surgery. Especially, the jawline and cheekbones were very wide. Fortunately, after getting surgery at NANA Hospital, I have a more satisfying and feminine face. The most difficult thing after surgery was I couldn't eat well because of the stitches inside my mouth. I had to drink milk or anything liquid. But after a few weeks later, the swelling went down a lot and I was able to eat well. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, the NANA Hospital English team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise. Thank you NANA English team!"
