Facial Contouring Surgery for Men

Men’s facial contouring surgery has a different goal compared to
women’s procedures, which aim for a slim and smooth appearance.
Men’s surgery must correct prominent, protruding bones
while also accentuating distinctly masculine features.

The key in men’s facial contouring is to bring out
inherent masculine charm and revive a natural facial line.

Surgical Areas for Contouring

Depending on the desired facial line, procedures are performed on the cheekbones, square jaw, chin, etc.

First, the Core of a Masculine Face

We do not simply pursue a “small and slim” look, but create a sophisticated masculine image.

Second, One-on-One Consultation with the Chief Surgeon

We refine the chin to ensure a slim jawline is visible from the front.

Third, No Need for Pin Removal

Since fixation pins are not used, there is no need for pin removal, leaving no traces.

Facial design for stylish man

Not a design that is merely small and slim,
but a sophisticated masculine design

Sometimes, pronounced cheekbones can make the face appear overly strong,
or conversely, a flat face may lack dimensionality.
At 345 Plastic Surgery Clinic, we design the shape of
the cheekbones to suit each facial type and overall vibe.

Area for Facial Contouring Surgery for Men

The types of procedures vary
depending on the facial area and desired results.

Facial contouring surgery for men can be broadly divided
into three parts: the jaw, the chin, and the cheekbones.
We consider the overall harmony rather than evaluating
each area separately to create a sophisticated facial appearance.

Square Jaw Surgery

This procedure considers the three-dimensional form of the jaw in square jaw surgery.

Cheekbone Surgery

Cheekbone reduction surgery is used to adjust the overall size and proportions of the face.

Chin Surgery

Using an osteotomy method tailored to the patient, we adjust the length and contour of the chin.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Facial Contouring

There is no fixed rule for removing the screws. However, after a long period post-surgery, bone may cover the screws or plates, making removal more difficult. It is best to remove the screws (plates) after the bone has fully healed, before any bone buildup or secondary changes occur. While removal is possible starting from 6 months post surgery, our clinic typically recommend waiting around 1 year post surgery for screw removal.

Generally, when undergoing bone surgery, the reduction in bone structure causes the surrounding tissue to shrink accordingly. The time (recovery period) and degree of this shrinkage can vary depending on the individual. If a significant amount of bone is removed due to highly developed cheekbones, or if there is already sagging skin, the outcome may differ. However, it cannot be said that cheek sagging will definitely occur just from cheekbone reduction surgery.


During consultations, it is possible to predict the extent of sagging, and it is advisable to plan the surgery based on the current condition. At our clinic, if sagging is expected, we often combine the surgery with a lifting procedure, referred to as “Cheek Lifting,” (Zygoma) to address this concern.

Orthodontic treatment can generally begin about 1 month after facial contouring surgery without any issues. During the first month post-surgery, you are in the recovery phase, and actions like opening your mouth or chewing may be uncomfortable and different from before the surgery, so caution is necessary.


Additionally, surgeries such as cortical bone removal or masseter muscle reduction may be performed simultaneously, causing the surgical areas to become tightly healed. As a result, opening the mouth may not feel as natural. If you are considering orthodontics, it’s recommended to first go through the recovery process for about a month. Since recovery times vary among individuals, it’s important to consult with an orthodontist to determine if you can proceed with treatment based on your current condition.

There is one important nerve to be cautious of during cheekbone surgery—the infraorbital nerve, which is responsible for sensation in the front cheekbones, lips, and gums. Depending on the dissection area, the nerve may be slightly stretched, which can lead to a temporary decrease in sensation in the affected area.


However, as long as the nerve is not cut or severely damaged during the surgery, sensation will gradually return over time, so there is no need to worry.
