Ruby Angle Reduction
We correct protruding jaw sides to suit your face shape and bones, creating a small, slim face and a softer impression.
Customized surgery
Surgery is customized to each person's face shape and bones.
A slimmer face
A square face can be made smaller and slimmer.
Softer impression
You can see a softer impression and a longer-looking neck.

Angle reduction at Ruby Plastic Surgery
A smooth V-line from under the ears to the chin tip~
POINT 01
Reduces both the angular jaw and bone thickness
Rather than cutting only the angular jawbone, we also perform cortical bone resection that reduces the thickness of the bone, effectively narrowing the width of the face to give a smaller-looking face.
POINT 02
Chin tip surgery combined if needed
As needed, we can resect not only the angular jaw but also the chin tip to enhance the front-view effect and create a slimmer V-line.
POINT 03
We perform highly safe surgery that avoids the nerve line.
Based on the specialist medical team's know-how and rich experience, we perform highly safe surgery that avoids the nerve line.
Precise 3D CT analysis
With university-hospital-grade 3D CT, we analyze facial bones, muscles and facial nerve positions to plan the surgical range and method.
Angle reduction
Cutting the angular jawbone softens the side line and creates a natural jaw line without a secondary angle, in proportion to your features.
Analysis of the optimal amount
Based on precision analysis, we analyze risk factors such as each person's condition and the nerve line, then identify the optimal resection amount.
Smooth resection inside the mouth
Through an incision inside the mouth, the planned amount of bone is resected smoothly in a long, soft curve.
Behind-the-ear angle reduction
In this method, an incision of about 2 cm behind the ear is used to cut the jawbone, and it is a simpler surgery than conventional angle reduction. Even for an asymmetrical face, improvement is possible by considering the bone shape and line on both sides of the face.
Small incision
Instead of an incision inside the mouth, a small incision is made behind the ear.
Grinding or removing
The angular lower jaw is ground down or removed.
Cortical bone resection
Cortical bone is the thin surface layer of bone made of dense bone. By cutting away the outer cortical bone, the thickness of the jawbone is reduced so that it looks slim from the front.
Analysis of the reduction amount
Based on precision analysis, we analyze risk factors such as each person's condition and the nerve line, then identify the optimal reduction amount.
A slim jaw line from the front
By resecting the outermost cortex of the bone to reduce the thickness of the jawbone, we create a slim jaw line even from the front.

Who jaw reduction suits
At consultation we review jaw angle, lower jaw length, symmetry and side profile.
Large-looking lower jaw
When the lower jaw makes the face look large or the lower face look wide
Prominent jaw angle
When the square jaw below the ears is developed
Long or uneven jaw
When the lower jaw is longer than average or asymmetrical
Angular side profile
When the jaw looks angular and square in profile
Slim face line
When you want a soft, slim facial line
Wide jaw from the front
When thick jawbones make the face look wide from the front

Frequently Asked Questions
We analyze the shape of the jawbone and the resection range to decide the method.
What is checked in a square jaw consultation?
We analyze the angular part and thickness of the jawbone, left-right facial balance, and risk factors such as the nerve line. The actual plan is decided at your consultation.
How is behind-the-ear angle reduction explained?
It is a method of resecting the jawbone through a small incision behind the ear, different from the usual intraoral incision approach. The suitable method is discussed after checking each person's condition.
Post-Surgery Precautions
Side effect information: Complications that can generally occur after surgery, such as bleeding, infection and inflammation, may vary in degree from person to person, so caution is needed.
