What Should You Check When Considering Facial Contouring Surgery? • A Real 3-Month Review of Contouring Surgery

Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery!

The final destination for concerns about face shape is contouring surgery, specifically the three types of contouring surgery.

It is a comprehensive facial contouring procedure that refines the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin to create a smooth and slender face line.

As we always emphasize,

contouring surgery is not simply a procedure that shaves down bone;

it is a high-level surgery performed while considering the overall balance and harmony of the face.

Three Types of Contouring Surgery What exactly does this surgery do?

The three types of contouring surgery simultaneously correct the three major skeletal areas of the face: the cheekbones, square jaw, and chin.

Cheekbone reduction surgery - improves prominent side cheekbones and 45-degree cheekbones, reduces facial width, and creates a softer impression

Square jaw reduction surgery - improves the angular jaw near the ears, creating a smooth, long curved jawline

Chin surgery - improves a blunt chin, long chin, weak chin, and asymmetry, completing a perfect V-line

These are the expected benefits.

Recently, to maximize the frontal effect, procedures such as cortical bone shaving, which thins and removes the outer layer of bone, or

masseter reduction surgery, which reduces the volume of the developed chewing muscle (masseter),

are sometimes performed as optional additions alongside the three contouring procedures.

Must-check items before surgery!

🩺 Precise diagnostic equipment

Before surgery, make sure they accurately analyze the facial bone structure, nerve line position, and soft tissue condition through 3D-CT and X-ray imaging!

This plays a crucial role in reducing errors during the planning stage of surgery and preventing nerve damage.

💉 Anesthesia system and safety equipment

Since the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, it is important to check whether a board-certified anesthesiologist is present,

whether there is a system capable of real-time monitoring,

and whether they are equipped with dantrolene to prepare for malignant hyperthermia.

🧑🏻‍⚕️ The surgeon’s skill

Because this is a bone-related surgery, you should be operated on by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has not only aesthetic sense but also extensive anatomical knowledge and experience with various cases.

🖼️ Customized design

You should check whether they establish a personalized surgical plan that takes into account each individual’s facial features, facial proportions, skin thickness, age, and more, rather than using a one-size-fits-all face shape.

🛡️ Measures to prevent cheek sagging

When the cheekbones are cut and moved, there is inevitably a risk that the soft tissue may sag downward.

It is a good idea to check whether the surgery applies anti-sagging solutions, such as high-position fixation or pulling the soft tissue upward and securing it elastically.

🛠️ Postoperative care (AS) program

Managing swelling, bruising, and pain after surgery has a major impact on recovery speed and final results.

Check whether specialized postoperative care programs such as high-frequency treatment, SmartLux (LED therapy), and hyperbaric oxygen chambers are systematically provided!

After three-type contouring surgery, swelling does not subside quickly;

it usually goes down slowly over 3 to 6 months, and the speed can vary depending on the individual.

Sometimes, subtle changes can continue for up to one year.

Therefore, if swelling is slow to subside, there is no need to become overly anxious or rush to judge the surgical result.

Stay in close communication with the hospital and receive the necessary care,

and wait patiently for the final beauty, thinking that time is the best medicine.
