Facial contouring surgery in China encompasses jawline reduction, cheekbone reduction, chin reshaping (genioplasty), and V-line surgery. Chinese and Korean-trained surgeons in major cities have extensive experience in bone contouring procedures popular throughout East Asia. Using 3D CT planning and piezoelectric bone-cutting technology, these procedures achieve precise, harmonious facial proportions with minimal tissue trauma.
3D CT Scan & Surgical Planning
High-resolution 3D CT scan of the facial skeleton. Computer-aided surgical simulation maps the exact bone reduction and reshaping plan. The surgeon discusses the target facial proportions with the patient.
Duration: 2-3 hoursContouring Surgery
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon accesses the facial bones through intraoral incisions (no visible scars). Piezoelectric instruments precisely reshape the jaw, cheekbones, or chin according to the 3D plan.
Duration: 2-4 hoursHospital Recovery
Two to three nights in hospital with compression bandaging, ice therapy, and IV medications. Liquid diet transitions to soft foods. Swelling management protocols are followed.
Duration: 2-3 daysPost-Operative Monitoring
Follow-up visits for wound checks, CT scan confirmation of bone healing, and suture removal. The surgeon monitors recovery and provides long-term care instructions before departure.
