A slim V-line and a small face are likely something everyone wants and hopes to have. For those whose faces look uneven and large because the square jaw, cheekbones, and chin are developed, looking at zygoma reduction reviews can make them dream of a smaller, more beautiful face. If you are concerned because your bones are developed, you can analyze the issues and causes of your facial shape through the three-contour surgery seen in A-TOP Plastic Surgery reviews and plan your surgery accordingly. Based on a systematic examination, you can create a plan that considers harmony between your facial features and overall proportions, and improve your face into a natural contour.

What Is Three-Contour Surgery?

Contour surgery refers, quite literally, to plastic surgery that refines the facial contour line. There are three representative procedures involved, which is why we often see so-called zygoma reduction reviews. This surgery targets a total of three areas: protruding cheekbones, a square jaw developed into a large, angular shape, and a wide, long chin tip. Through this, the face can be made smaller while the contour is refined more smoothly.

In summary, surgery on the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin tip makes up the three-contour procedure. It is not necessary to undergo all three procedures together, but if there are overall concerns with the face shape, the three can be performed at the same time. Depending on the degree of contour development, zygoma reduction surgery alone, or only square jaw reduction or chin surgery, can also be performed separately.

These contour procedures are basically bone resection surgeries. However, bone is not a tissue that regenerates once it is damaged and cut away. In other words, if too much is resected, the face shape may become unnatural, and reduced cheek fullness and decreased skin elasticity can make you look older instead. Therefore, for a natural zygoma reduction review, the surgical plan should be made so that the bone is cut and refined appropriately without excessive resection, finding the optimal balance and removing only as much as needed.

Square Jaw Reduction with Long-Curve Resection and Cortical Resection

The square jaw is mainly characterized by angular bone beneath the ears. That is why some people cover this area with their hands and look in the mirror to see whether they appear to have undergone zygoma reduction reviews. Of course, removing the bone in this area is important, but if only the sharply angled portion is shaved off, a secondary angle can form and a stepped, uneven appearance may occur. In other words, the line needs to be refined very smoothly, and that is what long-curve resection is. It is a method of smoothing the square jaw from beneath the ear to the front jaw line in a curved shape, helping prevent stepped deformity and secondary angles.

People with thick bone also tend to look like they have a square jaw. In such cases, if a surgery is performed to remove the cortex, the outer layer of the jawbone, the front view can also appear slimmer. The overall face size can look smaller, and the wide jaw can be reduced, allowing you to expect a V-line result from zygoma reduction reviews.

High-Point Osteotomy and Three-Point Fixation in Zygoma Reduction

The cheekbones are located on both sides of the central face, making the face appear wider horizontally. When they are highly developed, the face can look not only large but also somewhat old-fashioned. The most prominent part is called the MMP area, and by targeting this area and performing L-shaped osteotomy and reduction at the high point, you can experience a certain degree of change in the cheekbones. From the front, side, and 45-degree angles, you can expect to see a clearly transformed cheekbone appearance.

In particular, rather than vertical osteotomy, oblique osteotomy should be performed so that there is no stepped deformity where part of the cheekbone protrudes. If the rear arch bone is cut obliquely so that the bone can move more, the cheekbones can be smoothly pushed in and improved without excessive bone removal. Afterward, if strong three-point fixation is performed on the front, back, and upper areas, it can also help prevent cheek sagging and bone resorption.

If you carefully check the entire process and finishing steps of cheekbone surgery, from L-shaped osteotomy at the high point to oblique cutting and firm three-point fixation, it can become a natural zygoma reduction review. You can expect a smaller face and greater dimension.

The Shape of the Chin Tip Changes the Face Shape... Chin Surgery by Type

The face shape is greatly affected not only by the cheekbones and square jaw, but also by how the chin tip is finished. Looking at zygoma reduction reviews as well, even if the cheekbones and square jaw appear slim, the face may somehow look long or short and blunt. This is because the shape and form of the chin tip differ for each person, such as a long chin, short chin, blunt chin, or crooked chin.

For a more defined V-line from the front, chin surgery should also be performed together. By reducing a long and wide chin tip, you can adjust facial balance and correct left-right asymmetry, allowing for a more youthful-looking face. If the chin is too long, twisted, and wide, it can make you look older and more stubborn, so it is worth considering chin surgery, one of the zygoma reduction reviews.

The shape of the facial bones ultimately determines the face shape, which can affect the overall appearance. Therefore, planning three-contour surgery requires great caution, and it should be performed by medical staff with extensive clinical experience and a wide range of cases. In A-TOP Plastic Surgery reviews, Director Oh has been performing surgery independently for more than 20 years, and they aim to increase satisfaction through safe procedures based on expertise and experience. We hope you can have a thorough consultation and proceed with a one-on-one customized surgery that fits your facial-shape concerns.
