Beauty isn't about perfection. It's about perfect proportion.
id Hospital designs thickness, ratio, and volume down to the millimeter.

Why Most Surgeries Fail

Don't make a decision that you'll regret for the rest of your life.

The ugly truth about facial contouring surgery

Case 1No Frontal Change
Problem
"I had surgery, but my face looks the same from the front."
Why it happens
The surgeon only cut the angle. The real width comes from bone thickness (MBP/MRP), not the angle.
Case 2Cucumber Face (Wrong Ratio)
Problem
"My face looks too long and narrow now."
Why it happens
One-size-fits-all osteotomy destroys your natural ratio.
Case 3Flattened & Aged
Problem
"My cheekbones are smaller, but my face looks old."
Why it happens
Shaving the bone removes the highest point (MMP). Your face loses 3D volume and looks flat.

id Hospital doesn't cut angles.
We design ratios. We don't reduce. We architect.

The 3 Techniques We Teach Surgeons Worldwide

Receive surgery from the teacher, not the student.

MBP/MRP Bone Thickness Analysis

If beauty is bone-deep, we must look at the 'thickness' of the bone, not just the 'angle'.

Why does the frontal view remain the same after square jaw reduction?

Resecting only the angular portion changes the lateral profile. The frontal view? It remains the same.

Anatomical Truth

Many people's mandibles have an
'incurved type' structure.
If you only resect the angle,
the lateral profile becomes slender,
but the frontal width remains unchanged.

Solution

Id Hospital's MBP/MRP Analysis System
Angle reduction: [improvement of lateral profile]
Thickness reduction: [definite decrease in frontal width]
Combined with our V-Logic customized design for the 8 types of chins

V-Logic Customized Genioplasty

If bone proportion determines beauty, a customized design is essential, rather than uniform osteotomy.

A uniform, one-size-fits-all straight osteotomy ruins your facial proportion.

Everyone has a different chin shape. Uniform cutting ruins the proportion and results in an unnatural look.

V-Logic System: 8 Classifications of Chin Shapes

Two-parallel osteotomy
For vertical shortening and
horizontal narrowing"
Inverted V-shaped osteotomy
For maximum vertical reduction in patients with low nerve anatomy
Bow tie-shaped osteotomy
To achieve a pointed and slender chin

Exactly as you desire, tailored to your bone.

High L-shaped 3D Zygoma Repositioning

If the 3D volume of the bone determines beauty, the answer is 3D repositioning, not simple resection.

Problem

Indiscriminate bone resection results in a flat, boxy face. The 3D volume disappears,
and it actually makes you look older.

High-L Osteotomy Technique

We preserve the Maximal Malar Projection (MMP) while repositioning the bone segment posteromedially (inward and backward) through 3D rotation.

Step 1
High L-shaped osteotomy
Step 2
Posteromedial repositioning (Medial + Posterior)
Step 3
Rigid fixation with titanium plates
Result
Definite reduction of facial width Maintenance of 3D volume, Youthful effect + Fundamental prevention of cheek drooping and soft tissue sagging.

Perfecting Every Detail

For those who need more precision, more care, more options

Mini Contouring Surgery

Fast Recovery, Precise Targeting

Mini V-Line
Target
Chin-tip narrowing only
Method
T-osteotomy for frontal chin width reduction only
Benefit
Fast recovery without angle surgery
Mini Zygoma
Target
Protruding arch only
Method
Sedation, ~15 minutes, push-in technique
Benefit
Minimally invasive, same-day discharge

Secondary Contouring Surgery (Revision)

Don't fly 12 hours twice. Let us finish it right the first time.

Secondary Mandibular Contouring Surgery
For a broad chin left unchanged due to omitted chin reduction,
we re-correct it to perfect proportions through mini V-line surgery.
Secondary Zygoma Reduction
For cheekbones that have displaced and drooped because they were not fixed.
We remove the previous hardware and perfectly re-adapt the bone through a stronger fixation using Double-bridged midplate for nonunion.

Bone + Soft Tissue Total Care

Designed to Prevent Sagging from Day One

Simultaneous Bone Reduction + SMAS Lifting
From the surgical stage, we firmly fix the deep SMAS layer and malar fat pad.

FAQ

QAre translation services available for foreigners?

AYes, id Hospital offers translation in your preferred language, with a translator assisting you throughout consultations, surgery, check-ups, and recovery, ensuring comfort and clear communication throughout your journey.

QHow long is the recovery period after surgery?

ANormally, in case of mini v-line surgery and cheekbone reduction surgery, it is possible to get discharged the same day according to the patient’s condition. However, it is necessary to confirm the state of the patient after waking up from anesthesia and proper disinfection of the surgical area. Admission is preferable. 2 to 3 days after surgery, it is possible to resume normal activities (please

QDo I need to be admitted to the hospital for all surgeries?

AGenerally, you can be discharged on the same day for cheekbone reduction surgery. In many cases, patients who undergoes surgery in the morning, can wake up from anesthesia and return home alone in the afternoon. However, when going home, do not bend your head or bow down when sleeping. It is good for decreasing your swelling and pain, and use of a fluffy pillow to support yourself in an upright po

QWill my cheeks sag after cheekbone reduction surgery?

AFirst of all, it is important to accurately analyze the shape of the cheekbones before surgery. It is necessary to consult with a clinician who has a lot of clinical experiences based on the results of X-ray and 3D-CT. At surgery, cheekbones are shaved based on the diagnosis. Depending on the skin elasticity of the person, an additional lifting procedure may also be recommended so the tissues are

QWill my cheekbones grow back after reduction surgery?

AThe facial bones do not grow after the growth period is over. In addition, cheekbone reduction surgery is a procedure in which the protruding cheekbone itself is moved inward and fixed to a new position, so you can rest assured that the cheekbones size will not increase again after surgery.

QAre fixation pins required for my surgery?

AIn case of cheekbone reduction surgery where your bone is completely cut, pins are needed to tightly fix the skin tissue and muscles and make them heal faster between the bones. This procedure equally happens with the other facial contouring surgeries too. Three months after the surgery, the bone is fully healed and firmly bonded as before the operation. The pins are made of metals for surgery and

QDo I have to use the fixing pins?

QWhat is the difference between T-Osteotomy and regular osteotomy methods?

AT-osteotomy is a method that is used to cut the chin bone in a T-shape, gathering the edges of resected chins pieces back together, which are secured with titanium pins. Square jaw reduction surgery can be done together which gives a natural V-shaped face.
