The original square jaw reduction was operated by cutting off straight from the jawbone beneath the ear to the side chin. The area was not smooth after cutting off the bone so that gives a strong possibility of having dog-like jaw and secondary angle post-operation. Also, the precipitous cut area makes the jawline looks unnatural. 

‘Long-curved square jaw reduction’ was made to remedy the disadvantages of the original method. ‘Long-curved square jaw reduction’ cut off the jawbone from beneath the ear to the chin with a long curve. It is not only possible to make the overall lower facial contour slimmer but also prevent both of the most common complications since the cut is extended to the front chin.
