V-line contouring at Jewelry Plastic Surgery: jaw, cheekbone and chin
Jewelry plans contouring from a 1:1 3D CT study, then decides whether the cause is bone, muscle or fat: a bony square jaw gets a long-curved osteotomy, a muscular jaw gets masseter reduction, and a full lower face gets buccal fat removal.

Why a long-curved osteotomy
A straight cut tends to leave a secondary angle at the junction and an interrupted contour, so Jewelry uses a continuous long-curved cut from the jaw angle to the chin, with cortical shaving so the front view narrows too.
Cheekbones and the risk of sagging
Cheekbone reduction must fix the bone firmly after the cut or the surrounding tissue descends; Jewelry states it uses double fixation with the cut position planned from 3D CT to limit this.

V-line square jaw reduction
Jewelry's square jaw reduction uses a long-curved osteotomy combined with cortical bone shaving, masseter reduction and buccal fat removal in one operation, producing a continuous V-line contour from every angle.
3D CT cheekbone reduction
Side, 45-degree and front cheekbone are reduced together in one operation, planned from 3D CT and fixed at two points to reduce the risk of cheek sagging.
Chin tip contouring
Reshapes the width, length and projection of the chin tip for a smooth V-line, with the osteotomy planned around the nerve line for safety.
Masseter reduction
Reduces the masseter muscle without cutting bone — suited to a wide jaw caused by muscle bulk, done without an incision and with quick recovery.
Chin augmentation for a short chin
Fills the deficient chin tip to restore the V-line and soften the look of a protruding mouth, designed to each person's facial ratio.
Paranasal augmentation
Augments the sunken paranasal area with a custom-shaped implant, easing deep nasolabial folds and a protruding mouth for a more three-dimensional profile.
Forehead contouring
Restores the curve of a flat or sunken forehead with a custom implant or autologous fat grafting, through a small incision to limit scarring.
Facial contouring revision
Diagnoses why the first operation fell short, then re-plans bone correction and symmetry with surgeons experienced in revision contouring.
Buccal fat removal
Removes the deep buccal fat pad through an intraoral incision, slimming the lower face with no external scar.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my wide jaw bone or muscle?
- Clench your teeth: if the jaw bulges noticeably, masseter bulk is a major factor and may be treated without cutting bone — but confirmation comes from the 3D CT study the hospital uses for planning.
