What is complex facial contour?
Complex facial contour surgery focuses on creating a narrow and sharp V-shaped chin and jaw. Broader U-shaped chin makes one's face look heavy, wide, and masculine. Complex facial contour surgery usually involves in chin narrowing and square jaw reduction. However, following procedures can be added according to the status of the patient:
