Facial contouring
3-type facial contouring (cheekbone, jaw & chin)
VIEW's 3-type facial contouring reduces the cheekbones, squares jaw and reshapes the chin tip all in one operation, balancing both the width and length of the face. Surgery takes about 3 hours under general anaesthesia.
Who it suits
- A wide face caused by both the cheekbones and jaw together
- Want a fully balanced facial makeover in a single surgery
- Disproportion between cheekbones, jaw and chin
Technique highlights
- Cheekbone, jaw and chin surgery are combined into one operation, reducing the number of procedures and recovery periods
- The plan accounts for bone size, fat thickness, muscle and skin elasticity before surgery
- Backed by a patented contouring technique and the 2018 Grand Award for Facial Contouring
- Bone is removed only where necessary, with optional cheek liposuction or masseter reduction
Surgical steps
- Facial proportion, cheekbone thickness and skin/nerve elasticity are assessed
- Cheekbone reduction is performed with double fixation to limit sagging
- The protruding jaw angle is reduced for a slimmer contour
- The chin tip is reshaped with a T-osteotomy to match the overall proportion
Recovery & aftercare
- About 1 day of initial recovery
- Sutures removed and progress checked over the first 2 weeks, with RF or ultrasound treatments for swelling
- Soft tissue around the bone can take up to 6 months to settle into the new contour
- Follow-up CT and X-ray checks scheduled within 1-6 months
Risks & things to consider
- Combining three procedures takes longer and requires an experienced specialist surgeon
- Even after the bone is reduced, skin can take longer to tighten to match; a facelift may be considered later if the result falls short of expectations
- Outcomes and risks vary by individual, and bleeding or inflammation can occur
Frequently asked questions
Is bone reduction alone enough to make the face look slim?
No — how the surrounding soft tissue adapts matters just as much. VIEW plans around bone size together with the condition of the skin, muscle and fat for a proportionate, slim result.
Will my face definitely sag after this surgery?
Reshaping the bone controls its shape and size, but cannot fully control soft tissue; skin can take up to 6 months to settle. If you are still unsatisfied after full recovery, a facelift can be considered.
Is it safe to have all three areas done together?
VIEW plans in detail, factoring in facial size, cheekbone thickness and skin/nerve elasticity before surgery, with an anaesthesiologist monitoring throughout for safety.
