Which Facial Contouring Surgery
Is Right for My Face Shape?
Hi there! I’m Tami, a medical marketer working at a plastic surgery hospital in Korea.
Today, I’d like to share real stories from patients who come in wondering about facial contouring or orthognathic surgery.
Everyone’s face — and concern — is different!
But here’s what I often hear during their first visit:
“I think I just need a little chin surgery.”
“Maybe just cheekbone reduction will fix it?”
“I want to fix my square jaw — just a bit of trimming!”
But after we do a 3D-CT scan and detailed facial analysis,
we often find that it’s not just one area that’s the issue —
it’s usually about overall facial balance.
Where’s the Real Issue in My Face Shape?
 |
The cheekbones, chin, and jawline are interconnected,
so focusing on just one area can sometimes make your face look less balanced.
That’s why the most important step before surgery is:
Precision diagnostics
3D-CT imaging
In-depth consultation with your surgeon
Golden ratio analysis based on your facial structure
→ This process helps reveal what your face truly needs,
not just what seems obvious from the outside.
I hope this post gives you a helpful guide
if you’ve ever asked yourself,
“What kind of facial contouring surgery is right for me?”
There’s no one-size-fits-all —
but with the right diagnostics and communication,
you’ll get much closer to a natural, harmonious result
Common Face Shape Concerns
& Recommended Surgeries
■ Short Face Type
Concern: Face looks wide or chubby,
with pronounced cheekbones or chin.
Recommended:
• Chin Advancement Surgery
• Zygoma (Cheekbone) Reduction
Why it works:
Advancing the chin slightly can elongate the face visually,
while reducing the cheekbones helps create a slimmer, V-line effect.
■ Long Face Type
Concern: Middle part of the face appears too long,
giving an aged look.
Recommended:
• Forehead Reduction Surgery
• Midface Shortening Surgery
• Chin Setback Surgery
Why it works : Shortening the midface and reducing the chin length improves balance,
making the face appear softer and more youthful.
■ Asymmetrical Face
Concern:
One side of the jaw or cheek appears lower or shifted.
Recommended:
• Orthognathic Surgery (Double Jaw Surgery)
Why it works:
Jaw realignment restores symmetry and improves facial balance.
■ Prominent Cheekbones
Concern: Strong, wide facial impression
due to outward cheekbones.
Recommended:
• Cheekbone Reduction Surgery (Zygoma Reduction)
Why it works:
Reduces facial width, creating a softer and more elegant appearance.
■ Square Jawline
Concern: The jaw appears bulky or protruding,
especially from the side.
Recommended:
• Square Jaw Reduction Surgery
• Chin Refinement (Genioplasty)
Why it works:
Refining the jawline creates a more slender and 3D-contoured look.
Precise trimming around the Maximal Volume Point is key here.
Facial contouring isn’t always about just one area.
In many cases, multiple parts like the chin, jawline, and cheekbones affect one another.
That’s why 2- or 3-part surgeries are often planned together for better balance.
Facial Shape-Based Surgery Guide
It’s hard to analyze your face shape on your own.

FAQ
Q1 Can I operate on just one area like the chin or cheekbones?
Sometimes, yes.
But many patients find that balance needs more than one area.
Chin, jawline, and cheekbones often work together —
so 2–3 part surgeries are common after 3D analysis.
Q2. Why is 3D-CT important?
It shows your facial bones in 3D —
including angles, volume, and asymmetry.
This helps the surgeon plan more precise, customized results.
