You have beautiful and harmonious facial features, but your face shape is angular and uneven?

You will be remembered as someone whose image leaves only disappointment because it somehow lacks harmony

Recently, more and more people have been looking into facial contouring surgery to achieve a smaller face along with well-defined features

In this post, we will take a look at everything about facial contouring surgery

Unlike other cosmetic surgeries, facial contouring surgery is a procedure that corrects the bones. Through sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon,

it is necessary to understand the condition of the bones and find the surgical method and process that best suit you,

and then proceed with a safe surgery.

Facial contouring surgery

Facial contouring is a surgery that corrects the bones of the face. It smooths the appearance by performing surgery on the square jaw, protruding cheekbones, chin, and so on.

Facial contouring surgery can be broadly divided into three types: square jaw surgery, zygoma reduction surgery, and chin surgery.

Facial contouring is a surgery that performs these procedures in a more balanced way, without harming the structure of the face,

so a more natural result can be expected.

The highlight of facial contouring

Square jaw reduction surgery

Square jaw reduction surgery, also called square jaw resection, is a procedure

that has the advantage of producing significant frontal and side effects after surgery.

Square jaw reduction surgery is usually performed through an incision inside the mouth,

by making an incision of about 3 cm in the mucosa between the lower gums and the lips.

The masseter muscle surrounding the outside of the jawbone is moved aside, the periosteum is dissected,

and the exposed jawbone is operated on while avoiding major nerves and blood vessels.

The average surgery time is within about 1 hour, and it is performed under general anesthesia.

In the past, with square jaw reduction surgery, only the protruding square jaw was removed,

which sometimes led to side effects such as a second angle forming.

However, recent square jaw reduction surgery has made it possible to secure a wider field of view and operate while seeing the jawbone accurately,

so long curved resection, which removes the square jaw in a long curve, is now performed more often.

In the case of long curved resection, safer surgery is possible compared to conventional square jaw reduction surgery.

★ Of course, bone resection differs from person to person, but because the field of view is clearly secured, a high level of effect can be expected ★

Chin surgery (T osteotomy)

As the number of patients wanting a V-line has sharply increased recently,

T osteotomy is being performed to make the chin sharper and smoother.

T osteotomy has the advantage of being able to advance and set back the chin at the same time,

and is a procedure with the major advantage of safely protecting the nerve line.

Even patients who do not undergo square jaw reduction surgery can have T osteotomy alone.

The surgery time is about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.

It is performed under general anesthesia, requires stitch removal,

and is also a procedure that does not significantly interfere with daily life after a recovery period of about 3 to 5 days.

The side effect most commonly associated with chin surgery is the worry that sensation in the nerves may not return.

In fact, if the nerve line is distributed low, long curved square jaw surgery may be difficult to perform,

but most chin surgeries, including T osteotomy, can be performed without difficulty.

If the location of the nerve line is abnormally low and shifted too far forward,

chin surgery is possible, but it may be difficult to achieve a satisfying result.

However, because this is a very rare case, you do not need to worry too much about the relationship between chin surgery and the nerve line.

Zygoma reduction surgery

Zygoma reduction surgery has the advantage of producing major effects on both the side and the front after the protruding cheekbone that sticks out to the front and side is cut and pushed inward.

Generally, in the case of zygoma reduction surgery, the area where the cheekbone is dissected is separated through an incision inside the mouth,

and the surgery is performed by making a skin incision in front of the ear or through a scalp incision for cutting the bone near the ear.

The anesthesia method is general anesthesia, and the surgery takes about 1 hour.

The part many patients worry about most is sagging cheeks.

In the case of sagging cheeks, there is no need to worry too much if the medical team has ample know-how and skill,

but if the dissection is minimized during zygoma reduction surgery and the body and arch of the cheekbone are firmly fixed so they do not move,

the likelihood of sagging cheeks after cheekbone surgery is significantly reduced.

230-degree three-dimensional zygoma reduction surgery

Considering the long recovery time, a drawback of conventional zygoma reduction surgery,

quick zygoma reduction surgery has recently received a great response in order to shorten the recovery period and achieve the same effect.

In the case of quick zygoma reduction surgery, the operation is performed through a scalp incision and endoscopy, so it has the advantage of causing no discomfort when speaking or eating after surgery.

However, it had the drawback of being limited to the side cheekbones, so only a limited number of people could benefit from it.

To compensate for those shortcomings, 230-degree three-dimensional zygoma reduction surgery was developed as a surgical method designed to combine the advantages of existing quick zygoma reduction surgery, such as scalp incision and fast recovery,

with 45-degree cheekbone shaving so that effects can be seen from the front, side, and 45-degree oblique view.

230-degree three-dimensional zygoma reduction surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia, takes about 20 minutes,

and is carried out through a small scalp incision of about 1 cm and endoscopy.

Because the scar area is not exposed externally, it also has the advantage of no risk of visible scarring.

Unlike conventional zygoma reduction surgery, 230-degree three-dimensional zygoma reduction surgery uses a natural adhesion fixation method that does not use plates,

and its advantage is that it does not look like surgery even during airport security checks or X-ray imaging.

Of course, if plate fixation is desired, fixation is also possible.

Because 230-degree three-dimensional zygoma reduction surgery is performed without fixation,

many people worry that the bone may not knit properly or may protrude, but recently, to prevent the bone from popping up during the process of pushing the cheekbone inward,

the cut surface is made at an angle, so there is no need to worry.
