Treatment Overview
Jaw Angle Implant Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, definition, and angle of the lower jaw. By placing a biocompatible implant over the jaw angle, the procedure improves jawline contour and overall facial balance.
In Korea, surgeons use advanced 3D imaging and precision techniques to customize the implant, ensuring a natural, symmetrical appearance that harmonizes with the rest of the face.

- Minimally invasive options available for specific implant types
