Not everyone is born with their ideal facial shape as some individuals have a congenitally widened mandible that creates a prominent or masculine appearance, which is often less desired, particularly in Asian cultures. Facial slimming surgeries encompass a group of cosmetic procedures aimed at reducing the width of the lower third of the face and contouring it to achieve the desired V-line profile. These methods include osteotomy procedures such as mandible angle reduction, zygoma reduction, and sliding genioplasty, as well as soft tissue treatments like buccal fat removal and masseter muscle reduction. Among all these options, mandible angle reduction is considered the most effective method for achieving significant and permanent lower facial slimming.
