Hello, this is Dr. Jo Hyun-woo of 3D Plastic Surgery.

Today, I’d like to talk about how much the cheekbones can be reduced with side cheekbone surgery.

Most of the people who visit our clinic come in with concerns about the square jaw, chin, or cheekbone contour area.

Regardless of gender or age, many people want facial features that are defined and a face shape that is naturally small and slim.

As more and more people want beautiful and attractive facial features and face lines, if there is an area they are unhappy with, they consider plastic surgery.

There are also increasing numbers of people who want to improve their complex through surgery.

In particular, many people come for consultations after searching for cheekbone reduction surgery because their cheekbones protrude.

There are two surgical methods for cheekbone reduction surgery.

Before and after CT of 3D cheekbone reduction surgery

The first is 3D cheekbone reduction surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia. It completely cuts both the 45-degree cheekbone and the side cheekbone, pushes them inward, and fixes them with pins.

Before and after CT of 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery

The second is 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery, which is performed under sedation anesthesia. It partially cuts the 45-degree cheekbone, completely cuts the side cheekbone, pushes it inward, and shaves the 45-degree area.

These two methods push in the cheekbones that protrude to the side, reducing the overall fullness of the face and helping create a smaller, slimmer face shape. However, for surgery involving the facial bones, it is important to find a medical team with extensive experience.

Today, I’ll show you an actual patient case from 3D Plastic Surgery, and I hope it will be helpful.

This patient is someone who underwent 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery.

If you look at the photos above, you can see that the protruding cheekbones have moved inward and the unnecessarily prominent angles have improved.

If you compare the two photos side by side, you will clearly notice the change.

This patient realized that the side cheekbones were developed, and through 3D CT imaging, we analyzed them more closely, designed an appropriate plan, and proceeded with surgery.

At 3D Plastic Surgery, we carry out periodic follow-up checks and aftercare after surgery.

The aftercare helps patients recover their physical condition until they can return to daily life.

If another problem arises during this process, I, who performed the surgery myself, provide the appropriate corrective treatment through our surgical responsibility guarantee system, so patients can receive a high level of trust.

In this way, we provide the face line that patients want, and of course, the surgery is performed in a hygienic and clean environment.

With mandatory CCTV installation inside the clinic, you can also verify things transparently, and we are mindful of safety through COVID-19 prevention measures.

Thank you.
