Hello.

I’m Lee Won, the chief director of 21 Plastic Surgery^^

When consulting on facial contouring surgery, there are also many people who visit because they want to improve an overall flat impression, or a face shape that looks angular.

The case introduced this time is a female patient in her mid-20s. Although her face was not especially large, as the angles and center of the contour were not well organized, her impression looked somewhat flat and round.

If we analyze the facial structure before surgery, the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin all appeared emphasized outward to the sides, and rather than a sharp feel, the face had a broad and short image.

Because of this, the facial line was overall soft, but at the same time there was a lack of three-dimensionality and central focus, so a flat and monotonous impression was also present. The important point is that this impression was not caused by face size, but was formed from a structure in which the angles and center of the contour could not connect harmoniously.

So the surgical plan was established as follows.

Surgical plan

Cheekbones + Square Jaw + Chin (T-osteotomy + advancement)

One month after surgery, although some minor swelling remained, the contour line running from the cheekbones to the lower face was neatly refined.

The facial width felt from the front was naturally reduced, and from the side as well, the lower face did not drop excessively, showing that a stable connecting structure had been created^^ This can be seen as a case that demonstrates how structural refinement influences the impression in facial contouring surgery.

Three-in-one facial contouring surgery is closer to a procedure that tidies up angular contours and aligns structures that seemed separate into a single flow.

Even with the same face size, if the contour connections are refined, the impression can look completely different. That is why, in facial contouring surgery, what matters far more than how much was reduced is how naturally the structure was refined.

At 21 Plastic Surgery, we do not view facial contouring simply as a matter of bone size, but analyze the overall facial proportions and impression structure together and establish a surgical plan suited to each case.

If you are considering three facial contouring procedures, rather than judging only by face size, it may be helpful to receive an objective analysis of what kind of structure your current facial line is creating for your impression.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us for a consultation anytime^^

Thank you.
