Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery.

As you get older, when hollow cheeks, a weak chin, or a blurred jawline become a concern,

the first procedure that comes to mind is usually ‘filler.’

Because it has the advantages of a short procedure time, quick recovery, and relatively low cost,

many people hope for simple improvements through facial filler.

But can every facial shape problem really be solved with filler alone?

Today, we will look at the limitations of facial filler and the method for structural improvement,

contouring surgery of the 3 types.

"Advantages of filler"

First of all, the advantages of filler are clear.

With a quick procedure and quick recovery,

you can see temporary volumizing effects,

and the cost burden is generally less than surgery.

However, it has the drawback that good results can only be expected when the bone structure beneath the skin is well balanced.

If the cheekbones protrude significantly, the jaw is square and wide, or the chin is so recessed that it is almost nonexistent,

even if you add filler, the fundamental impression does not change.

Rather, if volume is added to an area that the structure cannot support,

the face may look larger and more blunt.

"Then is there something wrong with my face shape?"

For those who have these concerns,

after 3D CT imaging, we sometimes recommend facial contouring surgery through consultation.

Depending on the case, we divide the options into contouring type 1, contouring type 2, and contouring type 3.

"What kinds of faces is contouring type 3 effective for?"

Contouring type 3 is a surgery that fundamentally changes the balance and impression of the face.

✓ When the cheekbones protrude, making the face look wide and strong ✓ When the jaw angle is developed, making the side profile look blunt ✓ When the chin is short or recessed, making it look like a weak chin ✓ When the whole face looks large and gives a dull impression

It can improve the face into a more three-dimensional, smaller-looking shape by reducing the horizontal width of the face, smoothing the jawline, and centering the chin.

When the facial skeleton changes, the impression really changes.

Contouring surgery goes beyond simply making you smaller and prettier;

it is a surgery that changes the overall atmosphere and image people feel from you.

A kinder-looking impression, a clearer and more defined facial shape, and a refined side profile.

For those who have already stopped at simply filling with filler,

now may be the time to consider structural change.

All facial contouring surgeries at BT Plastic Surgery are

personally performed by Director Lee Ho-bin, a facial contouring specialist with 20 years of experience,

and before and after surgery, low-dose CT scans are used

to accurately assess and diagnose the patient’s facial condition.

In addition, the on-site anesthesiology director

monitors the patient’s condition in real time

to help ensure a safe surgery.

At BT, a hospital with no accidents and a focus on safety,

we create beautiful faces tailored precisely to each patient’s face.
