Oval face surgery is a procedure that modifies the jawbone structure to reshape and refine the jaw angles, creating an oval face that embodies classic East Asian beauty. Let’s explore the details of this aesthetic service below.
An oval face is known as a balanced face with harmonious proportions between bone structure and facial muscles. Individuals with an oval face feature a slender jawline and a chin that is not overly long, forming an elegant overall elliptical shape. An oval face is widely regarded as the gold standard of East Asian beauty. Consequently, many people—especially women—aspire to achieve this facial silhouette.
Oval face surgery is an intervention designed to slenderize the facial contour. During the procedure, the doctor evaluates facial features and prescribes an appropriate treatment plan. Typically, surgeons shave or trim portions of the jaw angle or lower jaw shaft to sculpt an oval shape. For cases with coarse or excessively broad facial features caused by an overly short or flared chin, jaw and chin orthognathic surgery is indicated to achieve an oval face.
Recommended candidates for oval face surgery include:
Individuals with an overly large, square, or flared jawline structure.
Individuals with a chin that is excessively broad, short, or receding.
Cases with overly prominent cheekbones.
Individuals with full, less-refined O-line or U-line facial shapes.
Clients who desire an oval facial contour.
Male and female clients aged 18 and older who meet medical requirements for surgery.

Step 2: General Health Check: Clients undergo health screenings, necessary laboratory tests, and medication allergy testing. If all health indicators meet surgical standards, the doctor proceeds to the next steps. Conversely, if clients present with conditions such as blood clotting disorders or cardiovascular diseases, surgery will be deferred to ensure client safety.
Step 3: CT Scanner Imaging: This step helps the surgeon identify facial structural flaws and make precise surgical calculations, ensuring accurate execution and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
Step 4: Disinfection and Anesthesia: Oval face corrective surgery is a major surgical procedure; therefore, general/local anesthesia is required to ensure client safety while keeping the patient completely free from pain or discomfort during the process.
Step 5: Surgical Execution: The surgeon performs the procedure via intraoral incisions, creating surgical pockets, trimming the jawbone, and adjusting the face to achieve a balanced, slender appearance.
Step 6: Post-Operative Care: Clients are monitored in the post-operative recovery suite. Typically, inpatient monitoring lasts 2 to 3 days. Before discharge, the surgeon provides home care instructions to guarantee a safe recovery process and schedules follow-up appointments.
