Facial Contouring at Note Plastic Surgery in Nonhyeon (with Director Yoo Ji-han)

Anyone who has decided to undergo plastic surgery will likely want the results to be as noticeable as possible. Especially when it comes to facial contouring, you may imagine that your face will become dramatically slimmer at a glance. However, excessive reduction that is performed without considering the overall length and proportions of the face can leave an awkward, unnatural facial shape and cause side effects.

That is why Note Plastic Surgery’s treatment philosophy for facial contouring is: “Let’s plagiarize God’s work.”

In other words, the surgery is performed along contour lines that could naturally exist in nature—lines that are originally beautiful. An unnaturally sharp jawline that cannot be seen in real life, or an eerie square jaw with no angles left at all, is not only unattractive but can also cause many functional problems.

If too much contour bone is removed in pursuit of a more dramatic result, the area available for soft tissues such as skin and muscle to settle decreases, which can lead to sagging skin and muscles and transform the face into an unexpected appearance that is difficult to restore. For this reason, facial contouring at Note Plastic Surgery in Nonhyeon strives to achieve the maximum effect within a safe range while creating a contour line that does not stand out too much and helps facial features appear more prominent.

So, what steps are involved in a successful contouring surgery like this?

More important than anything else is the surgeon’s skill, but before that, a careful consultation that takes time and effort must be conducted.

When you visit Note for a contouring consultation, several examinations are performed first. Thorough pre-examinations are carried out using state-of-the-art equipment such as 3D-CT and X-ray, and based on those results, detailed one-on-one personalized consultations are provided.

By reviewing each patient’s concerns, desired facial shape, and the current condition of the facial bones, the goals of the patient and doctor are aligned, and a detailed surgical plan is established to make those goals a reality. At this point, it is especially important to accurately communicate the ideal contour line you want to the medical team. To do so, bringing and showing photos of celebrities you want to resemble, SNS celebrities, or even well-edited photos of yourself is very effective.

Once the detailed consultation is complete, a thoroughly customized surgical plan is created. For the cheekbone, square jaw, and chin, the procedure is not limited to just one surgical method; based on the examination results and the detailed consultation, the surgeon personally plans the method best suited to each patient.

Even a quick search online shows many different surgical methods presented as if each were the correct answer, and it may seem like many people know more about these methods than medical professionals. However, contouring surgery requires careful consideration of each individual’s bone shape, size, and soft tissue structure, so you must visit the clinic and establish a surgical plan through consultation with a specialist.

Now, the surgery finally begins.

The procedure is performed safely in an operating room where a board-certified anesthesiologist is always present and thoroughly monitors everything from the start to the end of the surgery, including during the operation itself. Note’s operating room is equipped with a positive-pressure ventilation system, allowing surgery to be performed in a thoroughly sterilized environment, and all air enters through HEPA filters, so you can undergo surgery safely without worrying about infection.

Not only is the operating room carefully managed, but the postoperative care system is also thorough and attentive. In addition to a 24-hour hotline connecting you with the medical staff, whenever you visit for postoperative treatment or follow-up, you will meet your attending doctor in person to check your condition and receive any necessary additional treatment and care.

Basic care includes a shampoo service for patients who have difficulty washing their hair after surgery, as well as basic skin care that includes cleansing, exfoliation care, and LDM elasticity care. In addition, during periods when you are not visiting the clinic, daily care instructions are provided in video format for home care.

Today, we looked at the overall process of facial contouring at Note Plastic Surgery, from consultation to postoperative care.

For natural contouring, the key is not indulgence but finding beauty through reduction. The point is to achieve results within a safe range, without being overly conspicuous, while making the facial features stand out more.
