Does Lateral Cheekbone Reduction Surgery Really Have No Effect?

Hello. I’m Director Jo Hyun-woo of Injeop Plastic Surgery.

It’s been a very long time since I last greeted you, and today I’d like to show you a real patient case.

One of the questions many patients ask is:

They say Quick Cheekbone Surgery has no effect, so is it okay to do it?

If a surgery truly had no effect, then as a doctor, of course, it should not be performed. When I meet people who say that, I feel very sorry, but I explain by showing the surgical results of actual patients.

This is a patient who recently had surgery. They wanted an improvement in their impression because the projection looked severe from the front. If you look at the preoperative CT, you can see the prominent cheekbone.

This patient underwent 230-degree Quick Cheekbone Reduction Surgery. In addition to the lateral cheekbone, shaving the 45-degree area also made it possible to reduce that area as well.

Even though only two weeks have passed since the surgery and swelling is still present, you can clearly see that the cheekbone has been reduced in the photos.

You can feel the difference on the CT as well, right? The circled area is the reduced width of the cheekbone. As time passes, the cheekbone area that appears to be incompletely joined will fully fuse and become firmly fixed.

If you look at the traces in the 45-degree area, you can confirm that the bones are accurately joined without nonunion.

230-degree Quick Cheekbone Reduction Surgery is a procedure that can achieve effects comparable to standard 3D cheekbone surgery for people with severe lateral cheekbone prominence.

Rather than thinking it has no effect, if you check through an accurate consultation how much your bone can actually be reduced, it can be a very good surgery.
