Facial contouring at Marble: jaw, zygoma, chin and forehead
Marble plans contouring from 3D CT imaging, reading the three facial thirds and facial width from both front and profile: reducing only the jaw or only the cheekbone without that overview can leave the face looking longer or flatter.

Jaw and cheekbone
Jaw reduction follows the curve of the mandible so the jawline runs continuously from ear to chin, while zygoma reduction moves the cheekbone inward and fixes it, narrowing facial width without hollowing the cheeks.
Chin and forehead
A short or receding chin is lengthened by sliding genioplasty or an implant, while a flat forehead is augmented so the profile line curves continuously into the nose.
Related procedures at Marble Plastic Surgery
Jaw (mandible) reduction
The wide, square mandible angle is reduced and the jawline recontoured into one continuous curve, giving a soft V-shaped facial frame from every angle.
Zygoma (cheekbone) reduction
The front and side projection of the cheekbones is reduced and the bone fixed securely, narrowing the face with soft dimension while avoiding cheek sagging.
Genioplasty (chin surgery)
Treats a short, long, asymmetric or receding chin by sliding the chin bone or adding an implant, planned from individual facial proportions for a balanced V-line.
Forehead augmentation
Restores a smooth forehead curve using the patient's own fat or a custom-shaped implant, softening the side profile and balancing the face.
Frequently asked questions
- Can jaw and zygoma reduction be done together?
- Yes, and they are often done together as a contouring set, because reducing only one area can unbalance the upper and lower thirds of the face.
- Is imaging required before contouring?
- Yes — bone thickness, nerve position and tooth roots must be reviewed before the osteotomy line is planned.
