Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
People considering facial contouring surgery consider achieving natural-looking facial lines just as important as making their face look smaller.
Rather than unconditionally removing a large amount of bone, planning surgery while taking facial proportions and balance into account is the key to achieving a satisfying result.
Today, we will look at the important factors considered in facial contouring surgery for creating natural-looking facial lines.
Facial contouring surgery should first be planned according to the shape of the face
Facial contouring surgery is not performed in the same way for everyone.
When the square jaw is prominent, 3D square jaw reduction surgery may be planned by considering not only the jawbone below the ears but also the front part of the jaw.
When the width of the cheekbones makes the face look wide or the 45-degree cheekbones are prominent, 3D cheekbone reduction surgery may help create more three-dimensional facial contours.
In addition, when the chin is short or appears recessed, it is important to consider 3D chin reduction surgery suited to the skeletal structure in order to balance the overall facial proportions.
Facial contours are designed using conventional osteotomy techniques
Facial contouring surgery is not simply about reducing bone. It is important to analyze the facial shape and skeletal structure before precisely performing osteotomy on the necessary areas.
Conventional osteotomy techniques can help create more natural contours by taking the balance of the facial lines into account and planning a surgical method suited to the individual’s facial shape.
It is an important factor in improving satisfaction that a medical team with experience and expertise thoroughly analyzes the skeletal structure before determining the scope of surgery.
Why triple fixation is important
In facial contouring surgery, the process of stabilizing the bones after osteotomy is just as important as the osteotomy itself.
Woori Plastic Surgery uses a triple-fixation method consisting of front, upper, and rear fixation to help the osteotomized bones settle into a more stable position.
Compared with simple fixation, this approach is intended to increase fixation strength, support stable recovery, and reduce concerns such as nonunion or sagging.
Balance is more important than simply making the face smaller
The goal of facial contouring surgery is not simply to make the face smaller.
It is important to consider the proportions of the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin together to create a natural V-line and smooth facial contours.
Even with the same face size, achieving balanced proportions can create a more refined and three-dimensional impression.
Facial contouring surgery methods vary depending on an individual’s skeletal structure and facial proportions.
It is important to determine through a thorough consultation which areas among the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin should be improved, as well as how the osteotomy range and fixation method should be planned.
Receiving an accurate diagnosis of your current facial shape and establishing a facial contouring surgery plan suitable for you may help you achieve more natural and balanced facial lines.
