Things to Know Before Facial Contouring Surgery

The features people prefer are becoming more and more varied,

but one common need remains: a small face.

Director Yoo Ji-han

Regardless of gender, a small face that completes the overall body proportions has become a standard of beauty,

and more people are considering facial contouring surgery to improve their concerns and create a smaller, smoother face shape.

Yoo Ji-han Note

Then, before receiving a consultation for facial contouring surgery,

shall we look at the key points that are good to know in advance?

What Is Beautiful Contouring?

In our notes, we value creating contours that harmoniously combine a front view that is as smooth and slim as possible

with a side view that still retains a suitable angle,

maximizing the effect while making it look like, “This is how it was from the beginning,”

with a contour that does not look surgically altered.

Then what surgery method is right for me?

By considering various conditions such as bone shape, muscle structure, and amount of fat,

a patient cannot know which surgical method should be different for each individual.

Bring only the face you want to become, the face shape you aspire to. The doctor should be the one to think about the surgical method.

At Note, we conduct careful consultations until the doctor and patient are looking at the same goal,

sharing materials while speaking with the surgeon for as long as possible.

There is only one contour surgeon at Note Plastic Surgery!

It is CEO Director Yoo Ji-han.

From the first consultation to post-surgery recovery care, we provide 1:1 care.

Square Jaw Surgery

Facial Contouring: What Is a Beautiful Face Shape? image 5 A chin that is only pointed, with no angle, is neither beautiful nor natural. Note leaves the right angle for your face to complete a face with ideal proportions.

Long Curved Square Jaw

After identifying the location of the nerve line,

smoothly resecting in a long curve from the area under the ear at the square jaw to the nerve line

Cortical Osteotomy

By thinly resecting the cortex located on the outermost part of the jawbone,

improving the line to look slimmer from the front

Cheekbone Reduction

Preserving the front cheekbones as much as possible and pushing in the side cheekbones decisively,

but properly adjusting the 45-degree cheekbones, which vary depending on the case, is the key to cheekbone surgery.

L Osteotomy

Effective when the face itself is large due to wide cheekbones, even without curves

Cheekbone Rotation Surgery

Effective when the cheekbone protrudes farther than the temple, creating curves in the facial line

Posterior Movement Surgery (Set back)

Effective when the 45-degree cheekbone is not very prominent, but the side cheekbone sticks out

Chin Tip Surgery

The chin tip, where each person’s style and individuality should be reflected the most,

must be performed not only by a surgeon with strong technical skill but also by medical staff with a high aesthetic sense.

After accurately understanding the existing chin shape and the desired shape,

various surgical methods must be applied according to the case rather than using only one method.

T Osteotomy

A specialized surgical method when adjustment of the left-right width of the chin is needed

S Osteotomy

A specialized surgical method when adjustment of the upper-lower length of the chin is needed

Various other modified osteotomies

Various customized combination methods are possible, such as Y and sandwich osteotomy techniques

Is It Over After the Surgery?

The medical staff at Note take responsibility for the patient from start to finish.

After surgery, the hospital provides various services such as hair washing and skin care, which are difficult for patients to do on their own.

Each time the patient visits, the surgeon personally checks and manages the recovery status.

Note’s meticulous care extends to the home as well,

and even after discharge, when the attending physician cannot check directly,

we send post-surgery day-by-day home care videos at the appropriate time so that recovery can proceed quickly and safely.

Note’s top priority is patient safety.

In addition to installing CCTV in the operating room, a specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine is on site,

monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery and managing recovery progress after surgery as well.

and remove your concerns, remember that not only the surgeon’s skill but also

Careful consultation

Surgery methods tailored just for me

Safe recovery management

Thorough safety system
