The three common operations are mandible angle reduction, T-osteotomy of the chin, and zygomatic arch reduction. They are frequently combined, which lengthens surgery to four hours or more under general anesthesia and requires an overnight stay.
This is bone surgery near major nerves. Ask whether the clinic has an on-site anesthesiologist present throughout, a CT scanner for pre-operative planning, and a transfer agreement with a general hospital. Those three questions separate serious facial bone centers from clinics that perform the operation occasionally.

Frequently asked questions
Is facial bone surgery in Korea safe?
It carries genuine surgical risk including nerve injury, asymmetry and bleeding. Risk is managed by choosing a center that performs the operation daily, keeps a full-time anesthesiologist on site, and plans from a 3D CT scan. Verify all three before booking.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are made inside the mouth, so there are no external scars in standard cases. Chin and jaw work occasionally requires a small submental incision hidden under the jawline.
