double jaw surgery for
Facial Asymmetry

Surgery time Around 2 hours Types of Anesthesia General anesthesia Hospitalization 2 days Stitch removal 2 weeks Recovery period 14 days
  • Double Jaw Surgery for Facial Asymmetry
  • Depending on the circumstances, double jaw surgery for facial asymmetry involves performing surgery to repositioning the lower jaw only. But if there is an issue with the inclination of the upper jaw, then the surgery is performed by cutting the upper jaw horizontally and positioning it to arrive at the desired inclination, and then by moving the lower jaw to the center given the position of the upper jaw.
  • Chin Surgery for Facial Asymmetry
  • After performing facial asymmetry double jaw surgery, chin surgery is performed to correct for any remaining asymmetry.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Specialists
Who Understand Beautiful Faces

Many patients who visit EU ask this question. Although people tend to think that receiving double jaw surgery at an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital would enhance the functional aspects but would be difficult to improve the beauty aspects. But this is a misconception.

Dr. Jong Yun Kim and Dr. Hee Jin Shin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists, who have helped numerous patients recover their functionality and are highly experienced in performing facial bone surgery for a wide variety of cases.

As a result of significant experience in facial bone surgery, combined with endless study and research on beautiful faces, our EU doctors are now widely recognized as the specialists in the oral and maxillofacial surgery area. Instead of simply striving for some standardized facial structures, our EU specialists improve not only the functional aspects but also the beauty aspects that consider unique individuality.

SSRO or IVRO


  • Instead of choosing either SSRO or IVRO,
    we choose the most appropriate surgical
    method tailored to the individual patients
  • The two primary surgical methods in double jaw surgery are SSRO (Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy) and
    IVRO (Intraoral Vertical Ramus Osteotomy).
    While the preferred surgical method may vary slightly depending on the hospital and the surgeon
    Both methods are used at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.

    From time to time, our patients ask us which of the two methods, SSRO and IVRO, is better.
    Whenever we receive this question, our response at EU is always the same.
  • The appropriate surgical method depends on the patient’s unique circumstances,
    and the method that offer the most benefits, given the patient’s circumstances,
    is the best surgical method to use.
    • Image
    • Characteristics
    • Factors
      to consider
    • SSRO
    • This is the most widely used method around the world. This method tends to result in outstanding initial immovability and is effective at expanding the length. As the SSRO surgery performed by EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery does not involve intermaxillary fixation, patients can open their mouth immediately after the surgery. Accordingly, there are the advantages of being able to eat, talk, and conveniently breathe right away.
    • If the patients were naturally born with thin bones or have thin bones as a result of receiving double jaw surgery to treat structural issues such as a square jaw, applying the SSRO method may be difficult due to the possibility of exposing the nerves.
    • IVRO
    • As the surgery is completed by fracturing the bones without fixing their positions, the surgery time is relatively very short, and there is no need to receive additional surgery to remove pins. By inducing a physiological equilibrium on the relation between the temporomandibular joint ( or jaw joints) and the occlusion, there is the effect of enhancing the functions of the jaw joints, and as the location of bone fracturing is unrelated to the passage of the nerves, there is no risk of nerve damage even in case of thin bones. Cortical osteotomy techniques can concurrently be used, and therefore, there is an advantage of achieving a potentially significant enhancement in case of facial asymmetry or wide jawline.
    • As the positions of the bones are not fixed after fracturing, intermaxillary fixation for 2 weeks after the surgery is needed. As in the case of a short chin, this method is difficult to use in case the lower jaw needs to be pulled forward.

EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery maximizes the advantages of SSRO and IVRO while mitigating the disadvantages by utilizing close SSRO and close IVRO surgical methods.

Surgery-First Approach System
Based on Technological Competence

  • Double jaw surgery and orthodontics are inseparably related.
    In general, at least 6 months of minimum orthodontic treatment is needed prior to double jaw surgery, and another period of orthodontic treatment is needed after the surgery. The entire process of double jaw surgery takes up 2 years on average to be completed.
    Pre-surgery at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery has the advantage of not requiring orthodontic treatment prior to the surgery.
    This is possible as a result of the highly sophisticated skills possessed by Dr. Kim and Dr. Shin.
    To perform the surgery-first approach reliably, the three factors, accurate diagnosis and systematic surgical plans, surgical skills of the doctors, must all be in harmony.
  • The surgery-first approach would not be offered if there was a lack of experience or confidence in the results. EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is highly confident in delivering results.

Man and woman,
Design that Considers Unique Individuality

  • The ideal angle and facial line, including the
    fundamental facial bone structure, all differ between men and women.
  • Double jaw surgery by itself is surgery performed while considering the unique
    characteristics and circumstances of individuals, and therefore a particularly different
    surgical method does not necessarily apply as a result of the patient being a man vs. being a woman.
    However, given the assumption that the functionality is enhanced satisfactorily,
    the surgery can be performed to tailor to the image that each patient desires.


      Doing so requires the surgeons to possess technical competence and a sense of beauty,
    combined with genuine interest and understanding as to what the patient truly wants.
    These are reasons why EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are highly and genuinely
    interested in each of the patients it serves, and there are reasons why EU patients
    have such a high level of satisfaction as to the results of their surgery.

EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery that
beautify even the inner side of the bones

  • Double jaw surgery is correcting for malocclusion by adjusting the locations of facial bones.
    Doing so will correct for the imbalance of facial bones, recover the functionality by correcting for malocclusion, and enhance the beauty of the face shape.
    The skills and competence of the surgeons performing double jaw surgery can be assessed by simply examining the bone surface after cutting.
  • Many patients say even the bone pictures at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are pretty.
    This is attributable to our precise understanding on facial bone structure and functions.

    We understand deeply as to how much burden that our patients have and how long our patients have thought
    about double jaw surgery until they finally decided to proceed with such a major surgery. Accordingly,
  • EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery will strive endless to achieve healthy and beautiful results by performing safe and
    correct surgery based on adequate consultations and precise diagnosis.

    • EU knows
      beautiful faces very well
    • As our oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists perform aesthetic orthognathic surgery and aesthetic contouring surgery, the biggest of all concerns in receiving the surgery, “can the surgery actually be performed at an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital to improve my beauty?” is not something you need to worry about.
