Facial contouring and V-line guide: cheekbones, jaw and chin
Facial contouring is bone surgery, not a cosmetic touch-up: it requires a pre-operative CT scan, a dedicated anaesthesiologist and a 10–14 day recovery window in Korea. The real result appears once swelling settles at around three months.

Cheekbone vs jaw
Cheekbone reduction narrows the mid-face; jaw reduction softens a square lower face. Many cases combine both, because reducing only one level can leave the proportions unbalanced.
V-line and chin
Total V-line trims the chin tip and refines the jawline into one continuous curve, while chin surgery alone suits a short or recessed chin. Choosing the wrong one produces an unnatural silhouette.

Cheekbone reduction
Cheekbone reduction at Lienjang cuts and repositions the zygomatic bone inward to narrow the mid-face, and is commonly combined with jaw and chin work as 3-point contouring.
Square jaw reduction
Square jaw reduction trims the flared mandibular angle through an intraoral incision with no external scar. Most published Lienjang cases are photographed at 1-6 months.
Genioplasty & chin implant
Lienjang treats a short or protruding chin with either sliding genioplasty or a chin implant, chosen according to chin projection and dental alignment.
Total V-line & 3-point contouring
Lienjang's Total V programme combines cheekbone, jaw and chin work with facial liposuction to deliver a V-shaped jawline under one plan.
