[ Long Curve Square Jaw surgery ]
This surgery carves the overdeveloped jaw from the side to the front part, and makes your face into an oval shape.
When jawbone below the earlobes are large, the result of surgery that treats only the front jaw would not be as satisfying. Thus, this surgery operates on the square jawbone under the ear to the front part of your jaw to make a small and oval face.
"Not only square-jawed but also with large front jaw?
Long Curve Square Jaw Surgery"
Intended for
- Someone with large and angulated jaw, with round front jaw

Long Curve Square Jaw Reduction |

Cutting off the jawbone beneath the ear
It can cause secondary angle in the chin area, and can become a cause of second operation

Operation Method |

Cutting off jawbone from the area beneath the ear to the round chin
This method creates one piece of bone, which eliminates the possibility of secondary angle. It also removes unnecessary muscle and fat around the area, and creates perfect V-line that shines in all angles
|
Lots of bleeding and swelling Requires a long recovery time |
Bleeding |
Minimized dissection and incision Minimized bleeding and swelling Fast recovery |
Focuses on fracturing the square jaw beneath the ear |
Range of Surgical Area |
From beneath the ear to front chin |
No visible difference in U-Line (squared-jaw is improved) |
Difference shown in the front |
Creates V-Line (not only the squared-jaw but chin line can be imporved) |
Visible result on the side, but no difference from the front |
Result |
Visibly oval face from all angles |
Why Long Curve Square Jaw Reduction?
The pre-existing square jaw reduction was not very effective from the front, and had the possibility of causing secondary angle. Long curve square jaw reduction not only improves squared jaw but also polishes chin line, making your face look oval in all directions.
With minimized dissection and incision, the surgery causes small amount of bleeding and swelling. This method ensures fast recovery (pre-existing square jaw surgery had the problem of creating secondary angle)
Jaw surgeries - all dangerous?
In lower jaw area, there is a big nerve that supplies sensory data to lips and teeth. However, this nerve is placed far from the lower jawbone, and the angled part of the bone is not connected to the nerve. Thus, cutting and carving the bone does not cause problems.
Also, cutting more does not guarantee a prettier face. Facial contouring cannot dramatically change the size of your face. If one cuts too much of the jawbone, it can cause damage to the nerve, but it is a rare case.
This is why one should consider the surgeon’s mastery a more important factor than the fame or brand of the hospital when doing plastic surgery. All plastic surgery should be performed differently according to the individual case, and it is most important to find such specialist.
Synchronous Square Jaw Surgery and Cheekbone Surgery
It is common to perform square jaw surgery and cheekbone surgery at the same time. It is also common that people with squared jaw also have developed cheekbone.
As these two surgeries require similar equipment and anesthesia, one can greatly reduce time and expense for the surgeries if conducted at the same time.
In terms of recovery time, although it takes more time to recover from two surgeries than one, this recovery time is significantly shorter than having two surgeries separately.
The operation time is loner than having one surgery, but as the level of anesthesia is shallow, the extended time is not a problem.

Instant measure is possible by Dantrolene if general anesthesia causes side effects : JJ Hong Jin Joo Plastic Surgery carries Dantrolene
Dantrolene, usually possessed only by university hospitals and special hospitals, is a medicine that can treat malignant hyperthermia that can happen very rarely under general anesthesia. General anesthesia can cause malignant hyperthermia for certain allergic patients, making their temperature suddenly rise and go through arrhythmia. In extreme cases, patients can die unless immediate measures are taken. JJ Hong Jin Joo Plastic Surgery holds Dantrolene, the only known medicine for malignant hyperthermia, which ensures your safety.

Bridion Provides Optimal Environment for Safe and Successful Surgery
JJ Plastic Surgery puts safety first and uses Bridion, a muscle relaxant!
Bridion is a medicine that is prescribed to high-risk patients who may experience difficulty in breathing after surgery in university hospitals and special hospitals. Medicines before Bridion affected cardiovascular system, and required special attention when used for patients with cardiovascular problems. However, Bridion facilitates instant muscle relaxation, which allows effective general anesthesia until the end of the surgery that is ideal for both the surgeon and the patient. Also, because it leaves no remaining muscle relaxation, it makes anesthesia safer.
