Side Cheekbone Surgery Review, Take a Look with Cases - Directly Explained by a Specialist.

Hello, this is Director Joon Hyun-woo of 입체성형외과.

If you are concerned about prominent side cheekbones, you may be looking for related information along with side cheekbone surgery reviews.

Today, I will explain side cheekbone surgery reviews with photos as well.

As I mentioned in the previous column, more than 80% of people who need cheekbone surgery have both the side cheekbones and the 45-degree cheekbones developed.

However, among patients, there are certainly also patients whose side cheekbones are developed without 45-degree cheekbones. haha

For those whose 45-degree cheekbones are also developed, it may be helpful to refer to the previous column along with the side cheekbone surgery review.

The 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery is a procedure that also reduces the '45-degree cheekbones' through a shaving process that smooths down the 45-degree cheekbones, but Today, I will show you a side cheekbone surgery review case in which only the 'side cheekbones' were reduced without a shaving process because the 45-degree cheekbones were not developed.

Side cheekbone surgery - before surgery, side view

To check whether the 45-degree cheekbones are developed, look at whether the 'cheekbone below the outer corner of the eye' protrudes when viewing the face from the side.

The patient's 45-degree cheekbones were not very developed. If we were to reduce the 45-degree cheekbones as well, the face could look too flat or unnatural, so it is better to leave the degree of cheekbone you see here.

Side cheekbone surgery - before surgery, front view

Because the 45-degree cheekbones are not developed, the cheekbones do not stand out much even when viewed from the front. In fact, the side cheekbones are not very prominent either. ^^

However, the face line is not smooth, and the face width looks somewhat broad.

When the side cheekbones are developed, the cheekbones become more prominent when the face is viewed from below.

In cases like this, where only the side cheekbones are developed without 45-degree cheekbones, improvement can be made with a simple surgery that pushes only the side cheekbones inward.

As you can see, side cheekbone surgery is performed by doing a 'partial osteotomy' of the 45-degree cheekbone in area 1 and a 'complete osteotomy' of the side cheekbone in area 2, then pushing it inward.

This is a view of the facial bone model from below. The osteotomized side cheekbones can be fixed, but even if they are not fixed, the bones naturally fuse together, so over time they become firmly attached.

Side cheekbone surgery review - 1 month after surgery

Side cheekbone surgery review; this is a photo taken at the 1-month follow-up after surgery. You can see that the cheekbone that had been unstable and protruding to the side has moved inward, making the face line smoother.

Even when the head is raised, the face line falls nicely without any unevenness.

Cheekbone reduction surgery can only reduce as much as the 'width of the cheekbone,' so in fact, the reduction in facial width from cheekbone surgery does not exceed 5 mm per side.

When measured numerically, this may feel like a very small change.

Still, when viewed overall, the face line becomes more refined, creating a sense of balance in the face and softening the impression, so it can bring about a meaningful change.

Finally, if you are currently considering cheekbone surgery and are working, the most important thing is probably 'how quickly you can return to daily life' ^^

Side cheekbone surgery review - 1 week after surgery

This is a photo taken 1 week after side cheekbone surgery. Except for the bruising next to the eyes, you can see that most of the major swelling has gone down. A benefit of side cheekbone surgery is that the recovery period is fast because it is a simple surgical method.

For information related to the recovery period, it may be helpful to refer to the column below.

Today, we looked at side cheekbone surgery reviews, where only the side cheekbones were reduced without shaving the 45-degree cheekbones, together with photos. Thank you for reading this long post. ^^\n\n
