Face Contouring

  • Face contouring focuses on reshaping key structural areas of the face such as the jawline, chin, cheekbones, and forehead to create better facial balance, definition, and overall harmony.
    Whether you're looking to soften strong features, achieve a slimmer V-line, or correct asymmetry, our expert partner clinics offer safe, personalized solutions tailored to your bone structure and goals.

    • V-Line Surgery (Jaw, Chin & Cheekbone Combination)
      A comprehensive contouring procedure that slims the lower face by combining jaw reduction, chin reshaping (genioplasty or shaving), and sometimes cheekbone reduction. Ideal for achieving a slim, feminine V-line appearance.

    • Square Jaw Reduction (Mandible Reduction)
      Shaves and contours the lower jaw to reduce width and angularity. Often combined with zygoma or chin surgery for optimal balance.

    • Zygoma Reduction (Cheekbone Reduction)
      Reduces prominent cheekbones through trimming and inward rotation. Softens the side profile and frontal appearance.

    • Chin Shaving
      Refines a long or wide chin through shaving. Ideal for subtle contouring or to complement other jawline procedures. No external scars as it’s performed through the mouth.

    • Sliding Genioplasty (Chin Advancement)
      Corrects a recessed or under-projected chin by cutting and sliding the chin bone forward. Offers more dramatic, long-lasting results than implants or filler.

    • Chin Implant or Filler
      For patients needing mild chin projection (less than 4mm). Implants offer long-lasting results with minimal downtime; fillers provide a temporary preview.

    • Forehead Augmentation (Implant or Fat Grafting)
      Creates a rounder, more feminine forehead. Implants are permanent; fat grafting is softer and more natural but partially reabsorbs.

    • Protruding Chin Correction
      For patients with an overly long or forward-jutting chin. Options include chin bone reduction (genio-osteotomy), lower jaw repositioning, or two-jaw surgery for complex cases.

    • Asymmetrical Face Correction
      Corrects facial imbalances caused by bone structure, uneven chewing, or trauma. May include jaw reduction, sliding genioplasty, or two-jaw surgery depending on severity.

  • You may be a candidate if you:

    • Feel your face looks too wide, flat, long, or asymmetrical

    • Want a softer, slimmer jawline or more defined chin

    • Have prominent cheekbones or a recessed forehead or chin

    • Are in good health and have realistic expectations

    • Stop taking blood thinners (like aspirin, vitamin E, or fish oil) at least 2 weeks prior, unless otherwise advised by a doctor.

    • Disclose any medical conditions or medications to your surgical team.

    • Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 3 days before surgery.

    • Eat well and stay hydrated leading up to your operation.

    • On the day of surgery, arrive with no makeup, jewelry, nail polish, or contact lenses. Wear a zip-up top and fast as instructed (typically 4–8 hours prior).

    • Swelling typically peaks at 2–3 days, then gradually improves. Ice frequently.

    • Some asymmetrical swelling is normal—don’t panic.

    • Take all medications as prescribed and attend scheduled follow-ups.

    • Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach; sleep on your back elevated.

    • Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 4 weeks post-op.
