Face contouring includes different procedures that can change the shape, projection or proportions of the jaw, cheekbones, chin and other structures that influence facial balance.

There is no single face contouring procedure that is suitable for everyone.

A wide lower face, prominent cheekbones, recessed chin, jaw imbalance or excessive gum display can come from different anatomical causes. The appropriate treatment depends on which structure is creating the concern.

At Dr. Koko Vietnam, international patients can begin with an online consultation before travelling. The Dr. Koko Vietnam international patient team coordinates communication and consultation, while medical assessment and treatment decisions are made by the appropriate licensed surgeon or relevant specialist.

Face Contouring Procedures

Jaw Reduction Surgery

Jaw reduction surgery reshapes selected areas of the lower jawbone when jaw width or prominent mandibular angles contribute to a broad or square lower face.

It is primarily a facial-contouring procedure and does not automatically correct an abnormal bite or skeletal jaw relationship.

Jaw Reduction Surgery

Double Jaw Correction

Double jaw surgery is a form of orthognathic surgery involving both the upper and lower jaws.

It may be considered when skeletal jaw position affects the bite, facial profile, symmetry or relationship between the upper and lower jaws.

Double jaw surgery is different from jaw reduction surgery because it changes jaw position rather than simply changing lower-face contour.

Double Jaw Surgery

Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes excess or uneven gum tissue around the teeth.

It may be considered when gum tissue contributes to excessive gum display, an uneven gum line or teeth that appear shorter because they are partly covered by gum tissue.

A gummy smile can have several causes, including gum tissue, tooth position, lip movement and skeletal jaw position, so assessment is necessary before deciding on treatment.

Gum Contouring

Cheekbone Adjustment

Cheekbone contouring addresses the size, width, projection or position of the cheekbone area.

Some patients are concerned about prominent cheekbones, facial width or asymmetry.

The appropriate surgical approach depends on the patient's skeletal anatomy and overall facial proportions.

Cheekbone Adjustment

Chin Adjustment & Augmentation

The chin affects the relationship between the nose, lips, jawline and facial profile.

Some patients are concerned about insufficient chin projection, while others may have concerns about chin width, length, shape or asymmetry.

Chin augmentation with an implant is one possible treatment for selected patients, but not every chin concern should automatically be treated with an implant.

Which Face Contouring Procedure Is Right for Me?

Patients do not need to choose their procedure before consultation.

For example:

• A wide lower face may relate to jawbone width, muscle or soft tissue.

• A recessed-looking chin may relate to the chin itself or the position of the lower jaw.

• A gummy smile may come from gum tissue, lip movement, tooth position or upper-jaw position.

• Facial asymmetry may involve the jaw, cheekbones, chin or several structures.

• An underbite or overbite requires a different assessment from cosmetic jaw slimming.

The appropriate surgeon or specialist should identify which structure is responsible before recommending treatment.

Face Contouring Assessment

Depending on the concern, assessment may consider:

• facial width and proportions

• front and side profiles

• jaw width and position

• cheekbone projection

• chin projection and shape

• facial symmetry

• bite and dental alignment when relevant

• gum display when relevant

• previous facial or dental procedures

• medical history

• treatment goals

Clear photographs can help begin an online consultation.

More complex skeletal procedures may require imaging, dental records, orthodontic assessment or additional specialist evaluation.

Face Contouring for International Patients

International patients can begin the consultation process before travelling to Vietnam.

Useful initial photographs can include:

• front view

• left and right profiles

• left and right three-quarter views

• smiling view when the teeth or gums are part of the concern

Use clear, recent photographs without beauty filters.

Patients can also read the International Patient Guide before planning treatment in Vietnam.

Face Contouring Cost in Vietnam

Dr. Koko Vietnam does not publish one standard face-contouring price.

Face contouring includes very different procedures, and every patient's anatomy and treatment plan are different.

The individual quotation depends on the confirmed procedure, treatment complexity, surgical technique, facility requirements and other case-specific factors.

An individual quotation is provided after consultation and assessment.

Patients do not need to know whether they need jaw reduction, double jaw surgery, cheekbone treatment, chin treatment or gum contouring before contacting the clinic.

They can begin by explaining what they would like to change and sending clear photographs.
