Key Points of Facial Contouring Surgery

Hello.

This is Inique.

Facial shape

is one of the important factors that determine

our appearance and atmosphere.

For example, if someone

has a strong contour,

they may seem trustworthy or give a strong impression.

On the other hand, if someone has a soft contour,

they can give others a friendly and warm impression.

Also, from a social perspective,

the expressions we make, our smiles, and our eyes

combine with facial contours to more effectively

convey our emotions to others.

However, due to aging,

wrinkles, changes in muscles, and loss of skin elasticity

can change anyone’s facial contour.

Facial contouring plays a bigger role than expected,

but changing this facial contour to suit your preference

is difficult to improve significantly through

actions such as dieting or massage.

That is why

many people consider facial contouring surgery.

However, contour surgery requires delicate technique to minimize

damage to the facial bones as well as nerve injury and sagging skin,

so choosing a hospital requires

careful consideration.

In the case of contour surgery,

it is especially often chosen by people

with a square jaw.

Inique’s facial contouring surgery

for a square jaw

combines angle reduction surgery and cortical shaving

so that the face can look slim even from the front

without a secondary angle.

In addition, before surgery,

we use 3D CT

to provide an accurate analysis and

suggest a customized correction method

for each patient.

The 3D CT scan used at Inique

has a fast imaging speed,

so a model that reduces radiation exposure is used,

and three-dimensional diagnosis of the skeleton is possible.

It also makes it possible to accurately identify

problems that cannot be checked through a general consultation.

What is cortical shaving in facial contouring surgery?

Let’s compare our face to a ball.

Then, as shown in the illustration,

the angle below the ear is not the widest part

when viewed from the front.

It is located behind

the widest part.

Unless it is one of the rare cases where

the angle below the ear is flared outward,

angle reduction surgery alone makes it difficult

to reduce the width of the lower jaw.

So when Inique performs cortical shaving,

we remove the entire cortical layer

so that the maximum frontal effect can be expected.

At the same time, cortical shaving

effectively reduces the area seen from the front.

However, there are precautions to keep in mind

when performing facial contouring surgery.

An unnatural jaw shape caused by removing the angle below the ear too much,

this is commonly referred to as a dog jaw,

which should not occur.

The reason dog jaw occurs

is the mistaken belief that

you must remove a lot of the angle below the ear

to achieve a slimmer look.

The angle below the ear and the frontal effect

are not directly related, and the angle below the ear

should remain about 1.5 cm from the earlobe

in order to design a natural facial contour.

Also, if too much of the angle below the ear is removed,

it is common for a secondary angle to remain,

because the slope of the osteotomy line is too steep.

To address these issues,

Inique’s long-curved square jaw surgery

naturally leaves about 1.5 cm below the ear

and instead performs a long-curved square jaw surgery

that gently continues to the chin.

These are real cases that underwent

facial contouring surgery.

If you perform the long-curved square jaw surgery

and cortical shaving mentioned earlier,

you can confirm a facial line that changes

significantly even from the front.

A facial contouring surgery that produces dramatic results

when viewed from the side

as well as from the front!

Inique is a hospital with accumulated know-how

from handling a wide range of cases,

from the first surgery to revision surgery.

As a result, we have fully retained know-how

recognized through Let Me In Thailand,

a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare,

and publication in textbooks and papers.

In particular, we have proprietary technical expertise related to facial contouring surgery,

and this has even been registered as a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.
