Facial contouring & jaw

Two-circle facial analysis

Dream's in-house analysis reads the face as two circles from the front and the side to decide which parts of the skeleton to reduce and which to preserve.

Who it suits

  • Unsure which contouring procedure is needed
  • Wide face from the zygoma or mandible
  • Still unbalanced after previous contouring

Technique highlights

  • Planning based on X-ray and 3D CT
  • Front and profile assessed together
  • Defines the safe amount of bone to remove

Surgical steps

  • Photography and 3D CT scanning
  • Proportion analysed with the two-circle system
  • Surgical plan reviewed with the patient before deciding

Recovery & aftercare

  • One to two nights of inpatient care depending on the operation
  • Facial compression dressing and a soft diet at first
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 10-14 days
  • Most swelling resolves in 4-6 weeks, with the final contour at about six months

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Is the analysis charged separately?

It forms part of the pre-operative consultation for contouring; confirm the details with the hospital directly.

Do I need to fly to Korea for it?

The 3D CT must be done on site, but photos can be sent for a preliminary assessment.
