Surgical jaw reduction reshapes selected areas of the mandible, often around the jaw angle or lower border, to reduce bony prominence and create a narrower lower-face contour. It is intended for selected skeletal concerns rather than fullness caused mainly by muscle, fat or skin laxity.
Planning should be based on individual facial and jaw anatomy. Imaging may be required to assess bone shape, tooth roots and nearby nerves before surgery. The exact bone areas treated and amount of reduction vary according to the patient's anatomy and surgical plan.
Jaw reduction is different from corrective orthognathic surgery, which repositions the jaws to address skeletal relationships and functional bite problems. For deeper V-line and jawline-surgery research, read the Korean Jawline Surgery guide.
If lower-face width is mainly related to muscle or soft tissue rather than bone, compare Non-Surgical Facial Contouring in Korea, or explore more Plastic Surgery treatments in Korea.

Jaw reduction surgery permanently changes facial bone and should only be considered after appropriate surgical assessment. Possible risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia complications, delayed healing, asymmetry, contour irregularity, dental or tooth-root injury, bone-related complications and the need for revision surgery. Altered sensation or numbness involving the lower lip or chin can occur when nerves near the mandible are affected. The final contour also depends on the underlying skeleton, soft tissues and healing response, so perfect symmetry or a specific face shape cannot be guaranteed.
