Combined Facial Reduction Surgery combines two-jaw surgery and facial contouring to address jaw misalignment, facial width, and overall facial proportions within one coordinated surgical plan.
At Faceline Plastic Surgery in Seoul, the surgical and orthodontic teams evaluate each patient’s jaw alignment, facial structure, and aesthetic goals to create an individualized treatment plan.
What Is Combined Facial Reduction Surgery?
Combined Facial Reduction Surgery may involve repositioning the upper and lower jaws to correct bite problems while also reducing the width of the cheekbones, jawline, or chin.
By planning these corrections together, the surgical team can consider both facial width and vertical proportions to achieve a more balanced overall appearance.
Who May Consider Combined Facial Reduction Surgery?
This approach may be considered for adults who have:
-
Underbite, overbite, or other jaw misalignment
-
Facial asymmetry
-
Prominent or wide cheekbones
-
A wide or square jawline
-
A combination of bite and facial contour concerns
-
A preference for coordinated jaw and facial contouring rather than separate procedures
A consultation with imaging is necessary to determine whether combined treatment is appropriate.

Treatment Areas & Expected Improvements
| Treatment Area | Main Focus |
|---|---|
| Upper & lower jaw | Bite alignment and facial proportions |
| Cheekbones | Reducing excessive midface width |
| Jawline & chin | Creating a more balanced lower-face contour |
| Overall facial outline | Improving facial proportion and symmetry |
Results vary according to bone structure, soft tissue, and individual healing.
What to Expect from the Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation & Imaging — The team evaluates your bite, facial structure, and treatment goals using physical examination and diagnostic imaging.
Step 2: Personalized Planning — Reverse-calculation planning is used to coordinate jaw movement and facial contouring according to the intended facial balance.
Step 3: Surgery — The jaw repositioning and facial contouring procedures are performed according to the individualized surgical plan.
Step 4: Recovery & Follow-Up — Patients are monitored for swelling, discomfort, bite function, and bone healing during follow-up visits.
Because multiple structural areas are treated, recovery may be more extensive than with a single facial contouring procedure.

Results & Safety

Temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, and discomfort may occur during recovery. As with any major jaw surgery, complications are possible, and individual risks should be discussed during consultation.
