Facial Contouring Q&A 3. Questions About Quick Zygoma Reduction

Hello, this is Dr. Jo Hyun-woo of IBT Plastic Surgery.

Please take care of your health, as the temperature difference between day and night is large.

Today is the third installment of Facial Contouring Q&A.

We have gathered questions about quick zygoma reduction surgery and 230-degree quick zygoma reduction surgery.

Q1. Is it possible to perform quick zygoma surgery with fixation as well?

A. The advantage of quick zygoma reduction surgery and 230-degree quick zygoma reduction surgery is that fixation pins are not used even after surgery.

However, if the patient wants it, the back part of the quick zygoma can also be fixed.

Q2. How long does it take for the bone to fully heal? Will the bone come back out again?

A. About 6 weeks after surgery, the bone is considered to have healed more than 90%, and if CT imaging shows that the bone has been properly moved inward,

it will absolutely not protrude again.

However, in the case of the zygomatic bone, because there is movement, it takes more than 6 months for the bone to fully heal.

Therefore, for about 6 weeks after surgery, it is best to avoid chewing exercise as much as possible.

Q3. Quick zygoma reduction surgery. Does it really work?

A. The amount of bone moved inward with quick zygoma reduction surgery differs from regular zygoma reduction surgery only in the 45-degree zygoma area.

The 230-degree quick zygoma reduction surgery was designed to supplement the effect in the 45-degree zygoma area.

If quick zygoma reduction surgery has no effect, then even if regular zygoma reduction surgery is performed, you will not feel a big difference.

Whether a face is suitable for zygoma surgery and can show results may be related to factors such as the amount of fat in the facial area and the shape of the skull.

This can be accurately diagnosed through a consultation.
