Maxillofacial surgery

If you’re looking to change the contours of your face, correct asymmetry, or improve your bite, South Korea is your best solution. More than 70% of maxillofacial surgeries worldwide are performed here.

Plastic surgeons in South Korea can reshape and enhance or reduce the size of your cheeks, chin, jawline, and brow ridges. They can even create “Jolie’s Corners” or perform orthognathic surgery.

Increasing cheek and chin size using implants doesn’t require a long stay in Korea. However, surgeries involving facial reduction or bite correction require a minimum of 2 weeks in the country for post-operative rehabilitation.

Our agency will be with you throughout all stages of the operation, ensuring you receive the best service from the top surgeon in the finest clinic. We treat every patient as a member of our family.

Types of Maxillofacial Surgery

V-LINE Surgery

V-Line surgery involves osteotomy of the chin tip, jaw angles, and cheeks. If you have a protruding or elongated chin, a square jawline, or overly large cheeks, this plastic surgery is for you. Its goal is to create a symmetrical “V” shape contour of the face and reduce its size.

According to the Koreaboo portal, changing the jawline shape is the second most popular procedure in South Korea. Despite the numerous surgeons performing it, be cautious when choosing a clinic. Maxillofacial surgeriesrequire immense experience and the focused efforts of medical staff. If you are concerned about the surgeon’s competence or a price below 5.5 million KRW for one of three possible areas, we strongly recommend reconsidering the operation.

365 PLASTIC SURGERY agency will recommend the best clinic for you and assist in rehabilitation and preparation for the surgery.

Square chin

A square chin is a concern for thousands of women. It gives the face excessive masculinity, makes facial features appear coarser, and visually reduces the size of lips and eyes. In 20% of cases, Botox injections into the chewing muscles help solve the problem, while in all other cases, only a plastic surgeon’s intervention is effective.

After reducing the square chin, the face becomes more feminine, delicate, and soft. Surgeons often recommend combining this operation with cheek reduction or reshaping for balance.

Jolie’s corners

Think the famous “Jolie’s Corners” are created solely with fillers or facial implants? To some extent, that’s true, but most patients require liposuction or lifting to make the face’s oval shape more defined.

365 PLASTIC SURGERY agency will help you choose the plastic surgery method that suits you best.

Chin reduction

Chin reduction, also known as T-osteotomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address a protruding chin, often referred to as the “witch’s chin.” Unlike non-surgical options like fillers or botox, chin reduction requires the expertise of a plastic surgeon. During the procedure, the surgeon reshapes the chin by moving it backward and securing it with titanium brackets. These brackets are comfortable, MRI-friendly, and won’t interfere with airport security. If desired, they can be removed after a few months following the completion of the recovery period.

Chin augmentation

Chin augmentation aims to enhance the appearance of the chin. Our plastic surgeons offer two techniques: silicone implant placement and bone grafting. Bone grafting is suitable when the patient has donor material available, such as excess jawbone or prominent cheekbones that need adjustment for facial balance. In other cases, silicone implants are the preferred choice. Besides chin enhancement, this procedure also provides a subtle lifting effect on the lower facial skin due to skin tightening.

Cheekbone reduction

In recent years, cheekbone reduction has gained popularity in the CIS countries. Excessively prominent cheekbones can make a young face appear disproportionate. That’s why more patients are turning to cheekbone reduction or malarplasty. In South Korea, there are two types of malarplasty procedures: resection, where the surgeon reduces excess bone tissue, and push-back, where the bone’s shape and size are preserved by repositioning it deeper and securing it in a new position. Our agency’s coordinator and plastic surgeon will help you decide on the surgical technique and provide guidance on post-operative recovery.

Cheekbone augmentation

For those looking to enhance their cheekbones, several techniques are available, including filler injections, fat grafting, implant placement, and the use of donor bone tissue. Our South Korean plastic surgeons will assess your unique features, budget, and desired outcome to recommend the most suitable approach. They will also provide recommendations for post-operative rehabilitation.

Orthognathic surgery and bite correction

Orthognathic surgeries are among the most complex facial procedures, involving both maxillofacial plastic surgeons and orthodontists. Over 95% of orthognathic surgeries address both upper and lower jaws simultaneously, making them two-jaw procedures. These surgeries aim to restore proper jaw alignment, correct the bite, achieve facial symmetry, and enhance facial harmony. To undergo this surgery, we recommend staying in Korea for at least three weeks and informing your dentist in advance if you plan to have braces, as a treatment plan should account for the surgery.
