The basics

What is facial bone contouring surgery?

Facial bone contouring reshapes the underlying facial skeleton — the cheekbones (zygoma), jaw angle (mandible), chin and, in two-jaw surgery, the position of both jaws — rather than the skin or soft tissue. That is what makes the change structural and permanent, unlike fillers or fat grafting which add temporary volume on top of the bone.

Korea became the world reference for these procedures because of sheer volume and specialisation: Gangnam clinics plan each case on 3D-CT imaging, operate with on-site anesthesiologists, and refine techniques across thousands of cases a year. Mild width from muscle (not bone) can sometimes be treated non-surgically — a consultation with imaging tells you which category you are in before you spend anything.

Frequently asked questions

How much does facial bone contouring surgery cost in Korea?+
Facial bone contouring in Korea costs about US$3,500–18,000 in 2026 depending on the procedure: cheekbone reduction US$3,500–9,000, V-line surgery US$6,000–15,000, and two-jaw surgery US$9,000–18,000. With MISOODA you pay the same price as Korean locals, with a free itemised quote in 24 hours.
Which facial bone surgery is right for my face shape?+
It depends on where the width or imbalance sits. Prominent cheekbones point to zygoma reduction, a square jaw or wide chin to V-line surgery, and a misaligned bite to two-jaw surgery. A free MISOODA consultation with 3D-CT analysis confirms the right plan before you commit.
What is the difference between V-line surgery and two-jaw surgery?+
V-line surgery reshapes the jaw angle and chin for a slimmer contour, while two-jaw surgery repositions the upper and lower jaws to correct bite and alignment. Two-jaw is more extensive, costs US$9,000–18,000 versus US$6,000–15,000 for V-line, and needs a longer stay in Korea.
Is facial bone contouring in Korea safe for foreigners?+
Yes. MISOODA works only with government-registered, board-certified, malpractice-insured Gangnam clinics — no ghost doctors. Facial bone procedures are planned with 3D-CT imaging and performed with on-site anesthesiologists, and every treatment plan is reviewed in a personal consultation before you decide.
How long do I need to stay in Korea for facial bone surgery?+
Plan about 10–14 days for cheekbone reduction or V-line surgery, 14–21 days for full facial contouring, and 2–4 weeks for two-jaw surgery, so stitches can be removed and healing checked before you fly home. Your MISOODA case manager confirms the exact schedule.
Can I combine cheekbone reduction with V-line in one trip?+
Yes. The cheekbone, jaw and chin are often contoured together — the full 3-set costs about US$11,000–18,000 in 2026, less than doing each separately. Whether combining is safe for you depends on your anatomy, so a free consultation reviews your case first.
Is there a tax refund for plastic surgery in Korea in 2026?+
No. The 10% VAT refund for foreign patients' cosmetic procedures ended on January 1, 2026, when Korea's 2016 tax provision expired. Pages still advertising a 7–10% airport refund are outdated. The best remaining saving is paying what locals pay — MISOODA guarantees the same price as Korean locals, with no foreigner markup.
