EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery — FAQ
The questions patients ask most, each linked to the procedure page or clip that explains it further (30 answers).
About the hospital
Where is EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and which languages are supported?
EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is at 2F Rex Tower, 108 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Sinsa Station, Line 3). Consultations are handled in Korean, English and Thai, and the reservation line is +82-2-547-0101.
What does this hub cover?
19 procedures, 270 published before & after cases and 5 doctor profiles, grouped into treatment areas: Double jaw surgery · Facial contouring · Mouth protrusion & ASO · Revision surgery · Orthodontics · TMJ care.
How do I find a specific procedure?
Type a procedure or keyword into the search box above — Thai and English both work, e.g. V-Line, rhinoplasty or jaw. You can also filter by treatment area to see only the procedures in that group.
Are the before & after photos reliable?
All 270 cases are adapted from material EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery published officially, labelled with the treatment area and the follow-up interval where the hospital stated one. Individual results still vary with bone structure, skin quality, age and aftercare.
What are the doctors specialised in?
The 5 listed doctors cover plastic surgery, oral & maxillofacial surgery, anaesthesiology and dermatology. Each profile lists education, experience and specialties.
Can I book an appointment from this page?
No. This hub is an editorial reference, not a booking agent. For appointments or case assessment, contact EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery directly by phone or through its official website.
Procedure & video Q&A
How often must you return after double jaw surgery?
EU asks patients to return one week, two weeks and one month after discharge; IVRO and SSRO schedules differ by two to three days, and two weeks of laser care is provided.
Double jaw surgery (양악수술)What if breathing feels difficult after surgery?
EU explains that swollen oral and nasal mucosa makes breathing uncomfortable; staff monitor patients continuously while admitted, and a nasal spray is prescribed for use at home.
Double jaw surgery (양악수술)Does every protruding jaw need double jaw surgery?
No. EU explains that protrusion has several patterns: some come from the mandible alone and are treated with mandibular surgery, while a retruded maxilla requires both jaws.
Protruding jaw correction (주걱턱)Why do some cases need overcorrection?
In its own case-review video EU explains that because soft tissue and muscle differ between sides, setting the bone exactly straight can still look deviated, so a measured overcorrection is planned.
Facial asymmetry correction (안면비대칭)Can a long face be fixed by shortening the chin alone?
EU says not usually: when the excess height lies in the maxilla, shortening the chin does not address the cause, so diagnosis comes first.
Long face correction (긴얼굴)Does EU recommend cutting the chin back?
EU published a video titled "don't set back or cut the chin", explaining that chin setback is a last resort and repositioning the jaw usually gives a better result.
Receding chin correction (무턱)When is double jaw surgery preferred over ASO?
EU explains that when protrusion accompanies a skeletal problem — asymmetry, a receding chin or a long face — double jaw surgery addresses more than ASO can.
ASO surgery for mouth protrusion (돌출입)How does it differ from double jaw surgery?
EU explains that mandibular surgery moves only the lower jaw and suits patients whose maxilla is already well positioned, while two-jaw surgery is used when both need adjusting.
Mandible-only surgery (하악수술)What are the three areas?
EU lists cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction and chin surgery, planned so that all three connect into a single continuous line.
3-area facial contouring (윤곽3종)How common is cheekbone nonunion?
EU states it is rare when the surgery and fixation are stable; if symptoms appear after the roughly two-month healing period, a CT is taken to assess revision.
Cheekbone reduction (광대축소술)How is V-line different from square jaw surgery?
EU explains that square jaw surgery changes only the angle below the ear and leaves a blunt chin, while V-line treats both at once.
V-line surgery (브이라인수술)Does mini V-line slim the face like a full V-line?
EU states that mini V-line focuses on the chin, so it changes the front of the jawline; a wide mandibular angle still calls for the full V-line.
Mini V-line (미니브이라인)Does removing more bone mean a slimmer face?
EU says no: what matters is effective volume reduction through the right osteotomy position and angle, plus cortical shaving where appropriate.
Square jaw reduction (사각턱수술)Can a sunken mouth be corrected?
EU says the cause must be identified across the maxilla, mandible, occlusion and chin shape; when both jaws are involved, a repeat two-jaw operation can improve it.
Double jaw revision surgery (양악재수술)Does cheek hollowing after cheekbone surgery resolve?
EU states that when the anterior, 45° and lateral cheekbone positions are correct, the hollowing usually improves as swelling settles and the muscle recovers.
Facial contouring revision (안면윤곽 재수술)How long is the wafer worn?
EU states it is generally worn from surgery until orthodontics begins, sometimes for a further one to two months after that; from two weeks it can be removed, but should be worn except at mealtimes.
Orthodontics for jaw surgery (양악교정)Can aligners replace jaw surgery?
EU explains that orthodontics moves teeth but not the jaw bones, so a skeletal problem still needs surgical assessment.
Clear aligner treatment (투명교정)Can you have jaw surgery with a TMJ disorder?
EU states the joint must be fully assessed first, because its position during surgery directly affects how stable the result will be.
Temporomandibular disorder treatment (턱관절치료)How often should you rinse?
EU says rinsing starts the day after surgery, three times a day for two weeks, and after every meal at home; if the rinse runs out, clean water should be used.
Post-operative care at EU (수술 후 관리)Does EU accept international patients?
Yes. EU states it is a registered facility for attracting international patients and has passed the criteria to be a Gangnam-gu medical tourism partner institution.
