Choosing a Jaw Surgery Hospital in Korea : What Really Matters
Hi there! I’m Tami, a medical marketer working at one of the largest plastic surgery clinics in South Korea
If you’re considering jaw contouring or orthognathic surgery,
you’ve probably wondered:
“Are university hospitals safer for facial bone surgery?”
“If a certified surgeon performs it, does the hospital type matter?”
“Do private plastic surgery clinics in Korea really have more real cases?”
I get these questions all the time from international patients.
Many people compare university hospitals and private plastic surgery clinics, and I completely understand why.
When it comes to facial bone surgery, it’s not just about choosing a famous place —it’s about choosing a hospital you can truly trust.
And from what I see working in the field every day, that choice can make all the difference in your results. Different hospitals have different strengths — like surgeon experience, team systems, and post-op care.
️University Hospital vs. Plastic Surgery Hospital — What’s the Difference?
Facial Bone Surgery : Quick Comparison Chart
Why Choosing the Right Hospital for Jaw Surgery Matters
Jaw contouring surgery isn’t a simple procedure.
It involves cutting or reshaping bones like the cheekbone, chin, or jaw angle.
That’s why it must be done by a specialist who understands facial anatomy inside and out.
Each face is different — so the surgical plan has to change based on your bone structure.
And that’s where the surgeon’s case experience really shows.
The more diverse cases a surgeon has handled, the more natural and accurate your jaw surgery results will be.
Why a Multidisciplinary Team Matters for Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery isn’t just cosmetic — it often treats issues like jaw misalignment or TMJ problems.
That’s why hospitals with a collaborative team — including orthodontists, anesthesiologists, and radiologists — can deliver safer, more accurate outcomes.
Some clinics, like ours, also include a dental team, so both function and facial balance are addressed in one surgery
Jaw Surgery Recovery Is Just as Important
Swelling, pain, and fatigue can last longer than expected after jaw contouring or orthognathic surgery.
That’s why we offer a comprehensive post-op care system to support faster, safer healing — from surgery to discharge.
Many of our international patients say,
“It felt like I was being cared for even after the surgery.”
And that’s exactly what we aim for

FAQ
Q1. What’s the difference between jaw contouring and orthognathic surgery?
Jaw contouring is for facial shape — cheekbones, chin, jawline.
Orthognathic surgery also corrects bite issues or asymmetry.
A consultation will help decide what’s right for you.
Q2. How long do I need to stay in Korea after surgery?
Usually 10–14 days for recovery, swelling care, and check-ups.
This gives your body enough time before flying home safely.
Q3. Do I need braces before or after orthognathic surgery?
It depends on each individual!
But in many cases, orthodontic treatment plays a key role in aligning your bite before and after surgery.
At id Hospital, in-house dental collaboration makes the process much more convenient.

Yes! We can show you real patient results that match your goals (with permission).
