A square jaw may be a concern when the lower part of the face appears wide from the front or when the angle of the jawbone below the ear is prominent from the side. This facial shape can be influenced by various factors, including not only the size and shape of the mandible, but also the development of the masseter muscles used for chewing and the amount of fat beneath the chin. Square jaw surgery is a type of facial contouring surgery that aims to improve the contour of the lower face by adjusting the shape and width of the mandible. However, the surgical outcome is not determined simply by removing a large amount of bone. It is important to determine the appropriate extent and location of bone reduction based on each individual’s skeletal structure and overall facial proportions.

[ARTICLES] Dr. Kwon Soon Beom of ARC Plastic Surgery Presents Cheekbone Lifting Techniques at APS KOREA 2026

Dr. Kwon Soon Beom, the Chief Director of ARC Plastic Surgery, participated in the international academic conference, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Korea 2026 (APS KOREA 2026), where he presented his zygoma (cheekbone) lifting surgical techniques based on extensive clinical experience. In this presentation, he covered a range of clinical cases related to cheekbone lifting, with a focus on individualized surgical approaches tailored to each patient's unique characteristics. Dr. Kwon explained that his surgical planning is based on years of accumulated case data, incorporating a comprehensive analysis of anatomical factors such as facial bone structure, skin elasticity, and the degree of aging. In particular, he introduced a lifting technique utilizing Endotine devices to ensure stable tissue fixation while achieving natural contour changes. He emphasized that moving away from standardized procedures and adopting a customized approach based on each patient's condition and needs is a key factor in achieving optimal outcomes. Dr. Kwon stated, “Since the cheekbone area significantly influences overall facial impression, a precise approach that considers individual structural differences is essential. We are committed to delivering more stable and refined results through personalized surgical planning based on clinical data.” This presentation provided an opportunity to share surgical methods and real-world applications grounded in actual clinical experience.
