Things to Know Before Facial Contouring Surgery

�a0

The preferred features people look for in facial features are becoming more diverse little by little,

but one common need remains the same: 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 complexes and create a small, smooth face shape.

Note Yoo Ji-han

Then, before getting a consultation for facial contouring surgery,

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

What Is a Beautiful Contour?

At Note, we place importance on creating a contour that harmoniously combines a front view that is as smooth and slim as possible

with a side view that still retains the right amount of angle,

maximizing the effect while making it look as if it has “always been this way”

without the appearance of having had surgery.

Then what is the right surgery method for me? Considering various conditions such as bone shape, muscle structure, and the amount of fat, patients cannot know which surgical method should be different for each individual.

Just bring the face you want to become, the face shape you dream of. The doctor should decide on the surgical method. At Note, we have detailed consultations by talking with the surgeon for as long as possible and sharing materials until the doctor and patient are looking at the same goal.

Jaw Reduction

A chin that is only pointy, with no angle, is neither pretty nor natural.

Note leaves the right amount of angle for your face to complete a face with ideal proportions.

Long curved square jaw

By identifying the location of the nerve line,

smoothly resecting in a long curve from the area under the ear 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

Zygoma Reduction

The key to zygoma surgery is to preserve the front cheekbones as much as possible and push in the side cheekbones decisively,

while properly adjusting the 45-degree cheekbone, which varies depending on the case.

L osteotomy

An effective surgical method when the face itself is large due to broad cheekbones,

even though there is no curvature

Zygoma rotation surgery

An effective surgical method when the cheekbones protrude more than the temples

and there is curvature in the facial line

Posterior repositioning (Set back)

An effective surgical method when the 45-degree cheekbone is not very large, but the side cheekbone protrudes

Chin Surgery

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

must be performed by medical staff with not only surgical skill but also a high sense of aesthetics.

It is necessary to know the original chin shape and the desired shape accurately, and apply not just one surgical method

but various methods according to the case.

T osteotomy

A surgical method specialized for cases where adjustment of the left-right width of the chin is needed

ㅅ osteotomy

A surgical method specialized for cases where adjustment of the vertical length of the chin is needed

Other various modified osteotomies

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

Does it end with just surgery?

The medical staff at Note take responsibility for the patient from beginning to end.

The hospital provides various services that are hardest for patients to do on their own after surgery, such as hair washing and skin care. Whenever the patient visits, the surgeon personally checks and manages the recovery status.

Note’s meticulous care continues at home as well. Even when the attending physician cannot personally check after discharge, we send postoperative 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 CCTV installation in the operating room, a board-certified anesthesiologist stays on site, monitors the patient’s vital signs during surgery, and manages the recovery progress after surgery as well.

If you want to improve your face shape through facial contouring surgery and get rid of your complex, remember that in addition to the medical staff’s surgical skill,

Careful consultation

A surgical method tailored only to me

Safe recovery management

Thorough safety system

Remember ‘Note Plastic Surgery,’ which has all of these!
