Creating a Harmonious Face
Considering Overall Facial Proportions
Orthognathic surgery, which corrects the position of the
upper and lower jaws, is a high-precision procedure where
even a 1mm discrepancy can lead to significant differences in results.
It’s about reshaping the jaw and improving skeletal malocclusions like protruding mouths, receding chins, and facial asymmetry. Precise analysis and diagnosis by a specialist are crucial to plan the surgery carefully. At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we perform sophisticated surgeries that address aesthetic and functional improvements, offering safer and more exceptional results than traditional orthognathic surgeries.

Orthognathic surgery isn't
always the only answer.
We conduct personalized surgery for each patient based on accurate diagnosis.
If the teeth’s occlusion is normal, but the jaw appears long and protruding, contour surgery, rather than orthognathic surgery, can be effective for improvement.
For a long lower face, surgery to shorten the jaw length can be performed using nerve-preserving techniques that avoid damage to the mandibular nerve, effectively reducing a long face.
If the midface appears flat, making the face look broad and long, adding volume with noble surgery, fat grafting, or fillers can improve the appearance of a protruding jaw.
For facial asymmetry, contour surgery on one side or a corner lip lift can correct asymmetry. Also, if one side has more soft tissue like fat or muscle, asymmetry can be corrected with tissue removal surgery based on an accurate diagnosis using facial ultrasound.
For those apprehensive about protruding mouth surgery and with mild symptoms, fat grafting, noble surgery, or inserting silicone implants at the tip of the front jaw can reduce the prominence of the protruding area around the mouth. Custom 3D implants can create a natural, inherent line.
Mandibular Osteotomy
(Single Jaw Osteotomy)
If the asymmetry or position of the maxilla isn’t significantly adverse, surgery can be limited to just the mandible in orthognathic procedures. This can be a much less burdensome and highly effective option, with a significantly reduced scope of surgery.
“
Rather than a method convenient for the surgeon, we determine the surgery based on the direction of jawbone movement and the position of the nerve line, considering the patient's unique anatomical structure and lifestyle pattern.
“
This method involves vertically osteotomizing the mandible's posterior part where no nerve line exists, moving it to an appropriate position, and allowing it to fixate naturally.
This method involves osteotomizing the center of the lower jaw and pushing the jawbone back, then fixating it with fixing pins.
2. The surgery duration is relatively short, leading to faster recovery.
3. Post-osteotomy, intermaxillary fixation is essential, requiring regular checks.
4. It's effective in alleviating symptoms of the temporomandibular joint and maintaining its function.
2. Intermaxillary fixation isn’t needed.
3. It provides stability in moving the jaw initially, facilitating a quicker return to daily activities.
4. It's suitable for severe cases of receding chin and asymmetry.
Protruding Mouth Surgery
(ASO - Anterior Segmental Osteotomy)
A protruding mouth is when the teeth and gums in the front portion protrude notably more than the nose or chin tip, even with normal occlusion. Protruding mouth surgery can be simpler than orthognathic surgery yet yield equal or more significant effects. However, overcorrection can lead to an unnatural mouth shape, making the surgeon's experience and expertise crucial.

Two-Hour (2hour) Drain
At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we perform precise and swift surgeries based on
an advanced system and the rich experience of our medical staff, minimizing
blood loss and often not requiring drainage in most contour surgeries.
However, in surgeries like bimaxillary osteotomy and extensive mandible reduction,
some bleeding is inevitable due to blood pressure increases upon waking from
anesthesia. Even a tiny amount of blood, if accumulated, can cause hematoma or
infection, so we insert a drain during awakening from anesthesia. This drain
exits through the intraoral incision site, eliminating concerns about scarring,
and is removed approximately two hours post-surgery to minimize patient discomfort.
Pursuing Naturalness and
Facial Proportion Harmony
The essence of cosmetic surgery is naturalness.
Especially for contour surgeries, unlike general eye and nose surgeries,
harmony with the overall body and facial proportions is fundamental.
At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we pursue a natural facial shape that looks
like it has always been yours, based on the golden ratio of the face.

Custom Contour and Implant Surgery
with 3D Printing
Using 3D CT and 3D printing, we create actual-sized models of the current bone structure to produce
1:1 custom implants. This customization allows precise calculation of the patient's bone shape,
shortens surgery time, and reduces the risk of infection from modifying the shape during surgery.
We precisely calculate to predict the post-surgery appearance, ensuring the best results.
Post-Surgery Swelling Management Program
At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we assist you in returning to your daily life naturally through methods such as swelling reduction injections and management, based on the physician's assessment, to facilitate rapid elimination of swelling.
-
Swelling Reduction Injections These injections help reduce inflammation and swelling, promote regeneration, stabilize cellular membranes in surgical areas, and prevent aging and degenerative changes. -
Swelling Management We support blood circulation, aiding in the efficient drainage of stagnant fluids and blood, proving effective against swelling and bruising. -
Regeneration Management Post-surgery, our approach includes removing dead skin cells and sebum, soothing tired skin, and providing hydration and nutrients for skin regeneration.
Post-Surgery Scar Management Program
Scarring is a significant concern with incisional surgeries.
We spare no effort in minimizing scars throughout the surgical process, and we continue with ongoing scar injections and laser scar management post-surgery.
-
Scar Management Injections These injections aim to minimize hypertrophic scars and keloids while aiding skin regeneration -
Pigmentation Laser This treatment prevents pigmentation at the surgical site and destroys melanin, effectively lightening the skin. It also reduces the redness of scars and suppresses excessive vascular proliferation. -
Scar Laser Our laser treatment increases the activity of fibroblasts, promoting dermal collagen production to correct skin textures disrupted by scarring.
