What’s the exact difference between them?

Face contouring? Two jaw surgery? 

Which surgery would my face be prettier through?

People who are interested in information of plastic surgeries 

would know exactly what they need to do, 

but there are some still confused of face contouring surgery and two jaw surgery.

They ask like this: 

“I concern that my face is like this. 

Which do I have to get, face contouring or two jaw surgery?”

We can say that they don’t have much understanding about plastic surgery.

Actually, plastic surgeons say most of people have confusion between them.

Today, we will talk about face contouring and two jaw surgery learning the difference!

Face contouring

The surgery for bones on face, 

so called as face contouring, includes 

square jaw reduction, cheekbones reduction, and genioplasty.

Having surgery on these parts is called face contouring.

It’s a surgery making face lines slimmer and smoother 

as you can see in the picture above.

Two jaw surgery

Two jaw surgery is more complicated and multiple than the face contouring.

To explain it in an easy way, it’s a surgery which changes 

how much upper jaw and lower jaw are protruded or indented, 

or shortens their length.

These three conditions which two jaw surgery is needed:

ü protruded mouth

ü  lantern jaw        

ü  long face          

In the these cases, the bones are pushed inward to improve protruded mouth, 

pull upper jaw out and push lower jaw for a lantern jaw, 

and shorten all jaws for a long face.

After all, two jaw surgery is to improve our profile image moving real bones, 

not inserting a prosthesis and to give cubic effect.

Moreover, asymmetry which means inclined middle-line on face can be revised.

Then what is Anterior Segmental Osteotomy (A.S.O)?

Anterior segmental osteotomy, 

the surgery for protruded mouth, is kind of two jaw surgery.

They both deal with upper jaw and lower jaw, 

but the difference is that it only pushes inward in the case of 

anterior segmental osteotomy, 

not like two jaw surgery which moves both in multiple ways.

Anterior segmental osteotomy is only able to be performed after a tooth extraction, 

and it’s for a severe case. You would have two jaw surgery if your mouth is not protruded or don’t need to extract any tooth.

Then one more important thing to remember!

We cannot get only two jaw surgery. 

More than one surgery of face contouring 

(square jaw reduction, cheekbones reduction, genioplasty) is needed.

That’s because both jaws are not fitted perfectly 

after shortening the upper one and the lower one or trying to fix the angle.

So a beautiful face in the harmony of profile and full face is made 

after both two jaw surgery and face contouring surgery.

(But there’s a case in no need of face contouring that 

anterior segmental osteotomy only moves in one way.)

A number of people get two jaw surgery these days, 

so there are some thinking that “I will be prettier after two jaw surgery~!”

Someone had a consultation with a clinic through the phone calls 

and she said that the clinic told her it costs only 10 million KRW for two jaw surgery. 

She must have thought that it’s really inexpensive.

Could we really have two jaw surgery with 10 million KRW?

The answer is NO!

They might say

 “Oh, you are also recommended to get square jaw reduction, 

and… You would look better with your chin slimmer!”

They would recognize you as a customer who doesn’t know well 

if you just believe about 10 million KRW.

Don’t worry if you don’t know whether you need to get face contouring surgery,

 or to get two jaw surgery with some of face contouring surgery!

An exact examination and counseling with experts are essential!

A person who was longing to get square jaw reduction would get two jaw surgery,

and another who just thought about two jaw surgery 

can be prettier through simple face contouring surgery^^
