The shape of the face is the foundation and center of one’s appearance.

Even if the features are distinct, if the facial contour is not smooth, its appeal can easily be reduced.

A small, smooth face makes the eyes, nose, and mouth stand out more and gives a softer impression, but

if the cheekbones or jaw bones are developed or prominent, the face can appear larger and give a harsh impression.

As the importance of facial shape has been emphasized in this way, interest in facial contouring surgery has been increasing.

In the past, people preferred a face shape that was simply slimmer, with visible changes in the front and side profile that were noticeably different. However, in recent years, the trend has shifted toward a “refined and glamorous” face shape that is natural, as if it had always been beautiful, yet still carries a sense of sophistication.

Facial contouring with a refined and glamorous line can complete an attractive appearance while preserving one’s individuality,

and it can create a face that has become slimmer than before, is glamorous, but still retains naturalness that does not strongly reveal that cosmetic surgery was performed.

At AB Plastic Surgery, the representative facial contouring procedure is the three-in-one facial contouring surgery, which can improve the square jaw, cheekbones, and chin all at once.

By improving the areas that are a concern together, it can help address overall facial shape issues that are difficult to resolve with just one procedure.

During surgery, it is important to consider overall factors such as face shape, bone size and thickness, facial proportions, and the harmony of the features.

Even for the same facial contouring surgery, the surgical method differs depending on the chin length, width, cheekbone shape, and other factors.

Through this, it is possible to create a refined contour that suits the individual and make the face appear smaller.

In the case of cheekbone reduction surgery, the bone is removed as much as needed with an L-shaped osteotomy according to the degree of 45-degree cheekbone prominence,

then the cut bone is rotated and moved inward and upward to reduce the size of the cheekbones themselves.

It is also important to perform double fixation to prevent nonunion or sagging of the cheeks.

This can also be expected to provide a soft tissue lifting effect by securing upward fixation of the skin, fascia, and retaining ligaments connected to the cheekbones.

If cheekbone reduction surgery is needed to create a smooth side line, square jaw surgery completes an overall slim face shape.

It is important to adjust the angle to suit each person’s face, carefully trimming it into a long curve while leaving the preauricular angle appropriately to create a natural line.

If square jaw surgery and chin surgery are performed together, it is possible to help prevent the step deformity or secondary angle problem.

In the case of chin surgery, after considering the length, width, and degree of protrusion of the chin, the bone is either shaved after resection or repositioned after osteotomy to match each individual’s chin shape.

The resected area should be connected smoothly without forming angles.

When facial contouring surgery is performed as a combined procedure with customized design for each area,

it can help complete a refined face shape that is balanced overall, harmonious, and natural yet glamorous in its changes.

However, because it is surgery that deals with facial bones, the difficulty is high and the possibility of side effects cannot be ruled out.

Before surgery, it is essential to understand the advantages, disadvantages, and side effects through consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon,

and it is necessary to establish a surgical method that suits you and proceed according to a customized plan.

Director Ahn Seung-hyun of AB Plastic Surgery Clinic emphasized a personalized plan, saying, “To perform a natural and safe surgery, a 3D-CT examination before surgery is used to determine

the location of the nerve line, the shape and size of the bones, and the degree of development, and a 1:1 customized plan should be established by analyzing each person’s face from multiple angles,” and

he advised, “Since this is a surgery that requires precision, it is necessary to check whether it is performed by medical staff with extensive clinical experience,

and whether the hospital has a systematic process and postoperative care system.”
