19 most popular procedures at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
All 19 core services and surgical techniques at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, ranked by the number of real cases and clips the hospital publishes, each linked to its before & after set.
- 1
Double jaw surgery (양악수술)
Both jaws are repositioned to correct a skeletal imbalance and the malocclusion it causes. EU frames it as functional treatment rather than cosmetic surgery, performed by oral & maxillofacial surgeons together with an orthodontist.

Facial asymmetry correction (안면비대칭)
Skeletal asymmetry is assessed across the occlusal plane, chin position and the length of each side of the jaw. EU explains that some cases need a degree of overcorrection to end up genuinely balanced.

Long face correction (긴얼굴)
A long face often comes with a gummy smile, lip incompetence and a receding chin. EU stresses diagnosis: a vertically excessive maxilla is treated by impacting the upper jaw, not by shortening the chin.

Mandible-only surgery (하악수술)
For patients whose bite and profile problem lies mainly in the lower jaw, only the mandible is repositioned, narrowing the scope of surgery compared with a two-jaw operation.

3-area facial contouring (윤곽3종)
Cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction and genioplasty in a single operation so the line from cheekbone to chin runs smoothly. EU emphasises a narrower resection range to reduce bleeding, swelling and pain.
24 real cases · 8 clips · 1 Q&A

Square jaw reduction (사각턱수술)
The angle below the ear is resected in one long, continuous curve along the lateral border. EU may add cortical bone shaving and deep buccal fat removal to strengthen the frontal-view result.

Protruding jaw correction (주걱턱)
EU begins by separating whether the protruding jaw comes from an over-developed mandible, a retruded maxilla, or both — each requires a different surgical plan.
12 real cases · 11 clips · 1 Q&A

Receding chin correction (무턱)
A receding chin may come from a small mandible or a short chin point. EU chooses between double jaw surgery, mandible-only surgery or a chin advancement according to the diagnosis.

Mini V-line (미니브이라인)
Only the chin is treated — when it is short, long or blunt — with a patient-specific T-osteotomy that slims the chin and the adjacent jawline without operating on the angle.

V-line surgery (브이라인수술)
The angle below the ear and a blunt chin are corrected together, with a long-curved ostectomy and a T-osteotomy that narrows the chin, for a slim and balanced jawline.

ASO surgery for mouth protrusion (돌출입)
ASO (anterior segmental osteotomy) removes premolars and moves the tooth-bearing bone segment inwards before fixing it — suited to protrusion caused by the alveolar bone rather than tooth inclination alone.

Cheekbone reduction (광대축소술)
The most projecting part of the zygoma is reduced, with attention to the 45° cheekbone common in Asian faces. EU raises the L-shaped osteotomy line and fixes the bone at two points to limit cheek sagging and nonunion.

Clear aligner treatment (투명교정)
Removable clear aligner treatment for patients who want an inconspicuous appliance. EU compares the pros and cons of the aligner systems in its own videos.
0 real cases · 4 clips · 1 Q&A

Orthodontics for jaw surgery (양악교정)
Orthodontics before and after jaw surgery so the teeth meet correctly in the new position and the result stays stable — carried out by the orthodontist in the same hospital as the surgical team.
0 real cases · 4 clips · 1 Q&A

Facial contouring revision (안면윤곽 재수술)
Correcting contouring results that fell short: an uneven jaw contour, a cheekbone still projecting at 45°, nonunion, or a chin that was shortened too far.
0 real cases · 3 clips · 1 Q&A

Double jaw revision surgery (양악재수술)
Correcting the result of a previous jaw operation — an unsettled bite, a sunken mouth or residual asymmetry. EU advises waiting about six months after the earlier surgery and finding the true cause first.

Temporomandibular disorder treatment (턱관절치료)
EU runs a TMJ clinic for pain, clicking, limited opening or locking — also an essential part of planning before jaw surgery.

Technique-specific questions at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Answers come from the hospital's own published material; each one links straight to the before & after set for that technique.
Double jaw surgery (양악수술): 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.
Facial asymmetry correction (안면비대칭): 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.
Long face correction (긴얼굴): 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.
Mandible-only surgery (하악수술): 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.
3-area facial contouring (윤곽3종): 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.
Square jaw reduction (사각턱수술): 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.
Protruding jaw correction (주걱턱): 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.
Receding chin correction (무턱): 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.
Mini V-line (미니브이라인): 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.
V-line surgery (브이라인수술): 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.
ASO surgery for mouth protrusion (돌출입): 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.
Cheekbone reduction (광대축소술): 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.
Post-operative care at EU (수술 후 관리): 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.
Safety equipment and systems (안전장비 시스템): 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.
Clear aligner treatment (투명교정): Can aligners replace jaw surgery?
EU explains that orthodontics moves teeth but not the jaw bones, so a skeletal problem still needs surgical assessment.
Orthodontics for jaw surgery (양악교정): 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.
Facial contouring revision (안면윤곽 재수술): 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.
Double jaw revision surgery (양악재수술): 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.
Temporomandibular disorder treatment (턱관절치료): 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.
