When you first started learning about Contour 3 Types, if you felt 'scared' — that feeling is completely normal. After all, this is surgery involving facial bones. In fact, rather than approaching it without any concerns, the mindset of wanting to understand and judge properly is the beginning of a safe result.
Contour 3 Types in Gangnam, It's Natural to Be Scared — That's Why You Should Know First
Contour 3 Types is facial bone surgery that simultaneously addresses malar reduction, square jaw, and chin. Since it involves adjusting the skeletal structure itself rather than skin or fat, feeling nervous before surgery is an extremely natural response.
As reported in the medical media Medfonews, the facial interior has complex nerves and blood vessels distributed throughout, so whether the procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon directly has a direct impact on the results. The same report also recommends confirming in advance whether "the consulting doctor will handle the actual surgery."
All facial bone surgeries present different risk factors depending on individual bone structure, skin elasticity, underlying conditions, and more. Therefore, individual judgment through consultation is far more important than saying "this surgery is safe." Asking questions first is the safest first step.
Mini Q&A
Q. Do all three types of Contour 3 have to be done simultaneously?
A. Not necessarily. Proceeding with all three areas together is advantageous for improving overall facial proportions, but depending on individual skeletal condition and goals, some people choose to have only some of them done. It's good to check during consultation.
What is Contour 3 Types? What are Malar Reduction, Square Jaw, and Chin Advancement Surgery?
When three surgeries are performed at once, the overall facial proportions can be improved harmoniously. Let me briefly summarize how each surgery is performed.
Surgery Name | Main Method | Improvement Effect |
|---|---|---|
Malar Reduction Surgery | Intraoral incision followed by osteotomy of cheekbone and movement/fixation posterosuperiorly | Facial width reduction, anterior cheekbone and 45-degree cheekbone adjustment |
Square Jaw Long Curve | Mandibular angle bone resection (muscle reduction performed when necessary), creating a natural jaw line with long curve without secondary angle | Angular jaw line improvement, overall lower face slimming |
Anterior Chin Advancement (Chin Surgery) | Chin osteotomy followed by repositioning and volume/angle adjustment | No chin and short chin tip improvement, lateral facial line refinement |
According to clinical data, Contour 3 Types generally takes approximately 180 minutes under general anesthesia, and is often performed with same-day discharge or one-day hospitalization. However, the surgical scope, amount of resection, and osteotomy method must be designed differently based on individual bone structure, soft tissue, and skin elasticity. Related clinical materials also emphasize the principle that surgical planning considering overall facial proportions, function, safety, and efficacy is necessary. This is why even the same 'Contour 3 Types' cannot have identical surgical plans for two different people.
How 21plastic surgery Approaches Contour 3 Types
Contour 3 Types is not simply surgery to make bones smaller. Planning must be established by three-dimensionally analyzing individual bone structure, soft tissue, and skin type to achieve the most harmonious proportions. According to clinical data, this preliminary judgment process plays an important role in reducing post-operative risk factors such as cheek sagging and asymmetry.
21plastic surgery Contour Medical Treatment Flow
— Overall facial three-dimensional proportion analysis (confirming front, side, and diagonal views)
— Review of mutual influences of three areas: malar, square jaw, and chin tip
— Pre-evaluation of skin elasticity, soft tissue condition, and possibility of cheek sagging
— Custom design of osteotomy range and direction suited to individual skeleton
— Post-operative recovery plan and precaution sharing
Dr. Lee Won considers it important to first examine the three-dimensional harmony of the entire face at the consultation stage before establishing the contour plan. Based on various cases from both domestic and international sources (including patients from Japan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and North America), systematic medical care is provided aimed at harmonious beauty rather than simply making bones smaller.
At a conveniently located position between Shinnonhyeon Station and Gangnam Station, the process proceeds with Dr. Lee Won directly involved from consultation through surgery.
This Works Well For You — Self-Check + Precautions
If two or more of the items below apply to you, it may be helpful to receive a Contour 3 Types consultation.
Self-Check List
— Two or more of malar, square jaw, and chin tip are concerns
— When viewed from the side rather than the front, the facial line is not satisfactory
— You frequently hear that your face looks large and angular overall
— Facial proportion imbalance or left-right asymmetry is bothersome
— You want fundamental skeletal change rather than simple procedures
Check Before Consultation
According to clinical data, if you have underlying conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or bleeding disorders, these can affect the recovery process, making it important to notify medical staff in advance. Additionally, clinical materials explain that while major swelling decreases within approximately two weeks after surgery, residual swelling can last up to 6 months to 1 year, and it takes 3-6 months to confirm the final facial shape. During the first two weeks after surgery, avoiding smoking, alcohol, strong chewing, and strenuous activity helps recovery. It's good to plan the timing of return to daily activities in advance.

It's natural to feel afraid of surgery. That's why if the thought "should I at least get a consultation?" has occurred to you, that's already a good start. A consultation is not a place to decide on surgery, but a place to confirm whether your bone structure and expected results are realistically compatible.
Clinically as well, it emphasizes that surgical planning considering facial proportion, function, and safety together is the key to results without regret. Accurate information is far more reassuring than vague anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long does swelling last after Contour 3 Types surgery?
Major swelling typically subsides somewhat within 2 weeks after surgery. However, residual swelling can last up to 6 months to 1 year depending on the individual, so approximately 3-6 months are needed to confirm final results. It's good to plan the recovery schedule generously in advance.
Q2. Can you undergo contour surgery without cheek sagging?
Cheek sagging can occur when there is decreased skin elasticity, excessive bone resection, or high subcutaneous fat. The key to reducing this risk is thoroughly evaluating skin elasticity and soft tissue condition before surgery and designing the resection range suited to the individual. When necessary, anterior cheek sagging or jowl suction, deep cheek removal, and more can be performed simultaneously. It is recommended to check your condition first during consultation.
Q3. Can the consulting doctor and performing surgeon be different?
This can vary depending on the plastic surgery clinic. Before deciding on surgery, it is strongly recommended to confirm whether the doctor who directly consulted with you will also handle the actual surgery. At 21plastic surgery, Dr. Lee Won is directly involved from consultation through surgery.
