Facial Asymmetry Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Facial Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

Facial asymmetry correction surgery addresses imbalances in the size, shape, or position of facial features such as the jaw, chin, cheekbones, or nose. While mild asymmetry is common, noticeable imbalances can affect facial harmony and confidence. This procedure may involve contouring bones, adjusting soft tissues, or repositioning facial structures to create a more symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we specialize in comprehensive facial asymmetry correction. Our board-certified surgeons perform in-depth 3D analyses to diagnose structural imbalances and design customized surgical plans. Techniques may include jaw surgery, cheekbone repositioning, chin reshaping (genioplasty), or rhinoplasty—often combined for optimal symmetry and natural-looking results.



Who is a Good Candidate for Facial Asymmetry Correction Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for facial asymmetry correction if you:

✔ Have visible imbalance between the left and right sides of your face
✔ Experience functional issues such as jaw misalignment or chewing discomfort
✔ Desire a more proportionate, balanced facial appearance
✔ Are in good overall health with realistic expectations
✔ Seek both aesthetic and functional improvements

A consultation at CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic includes precise facial measurements, bite alignment assessment, and aesthetic evaluation. Depending on the complexity, the treatment plan may involve one or multiple contouring procedures to ensure long-lasting, symmetrical results tailored to your natural facial structure.

How is Facial Asymmetry Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Comprehensive facial analysis using 3D imaging, cephalometric X-rays, and CT scans
• Identification of the underlying cause—bone structure, muscle imbalance, soft tissue differences, or dental alignment
• Multidisciplinary evaluation may include plastic surgeons, orthodontists, and maxillofacial specialists
• Customized surgical or non-surgical plan developed based on severity and aesthetic goals

2. Surgical Approach

• Performed under general anesthesia depending on the procedure’s complexity
• Bone asymmetries may be corrected with orthognathic (jaw) surgery, cheekbone repositioning, or chin contouring
• Soft tissue adjustments may include fat grafting or reduction to balance facial volume
• Incisions are made inside the mouth or along the hairline to avoid visible scars
• In complex cases, double jaw surgery may be required to align the maxilla and mandible
• Surgery may take 2 to 4 hours depending on the extent of correction

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling and tightness are common for the first 2–3 weeks
• A soft or liquid diet may be required if jaw correction is involved
• Compression bandages and oral care are essential for proper healing
• Nerve sensitivity and facial stiffness usually improve within weeks to months
• Periodic follow-up imaging ensures bones remain aligned and symmetrical

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Initial Swelling & Bruising: 2–3 weeks
• Return to Light Activities: Around 2 weeks
• Full Facial Symmetry Results: Visible at 3–6 months depending on procedure
• Exercise & Strain: Avoid heavy activity for 4–6 weeks

It’s important to follow post-operative instructions closely, including wearing any recommended garments and avoiding direct pressure on the treated area.
