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.
