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

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

and proceed with a safe operation.

Facial contouring surgery

Facial contouring refers to surgery that corrects the facial bones. By operating on a square jaw, protruding cheekbones, or chin, it is a procedure that helps the face appear aesthetically softer.

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

Facial contouring is a procedure that can be performed more harmoniously by combining these surgeries, allowing for a more natural result without damaging the facial structure.

The highlight of facial contouring Square jaw reduction surgery Square jaw reduction surgery, also called square jaw reduction resection, is a procedure with the advantage of producing significant frontal and side-view effects after surgery. Square jaw reduction surgery is usually performed through an intraoral incision. It involves making an incision of about 3 cm in the mucosa between the lower gums and the lips.

After moving aside the masseter muscle that surrounds the outside of the jawbone and separating the periosteum, the exposed jawbone is operated on while avoiding major nerves and blood vessels.

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

In the past, square jaw reduction surgery sometimes led to reports of side effects such as a secondary angle because only the protruding square jaw was removed. However, recent square jaw reduction surgery allows a wider surgical field and makes it possible to operate while clearly seeing the jawbone. As a result, long curved resection, which removes the square jaw along a long curve, is now often performed. Long curved resection enables safer surgery compared with conventional square jaw reduction surgery.

★ Of course, bone resection varies by individual, but because the field of view is clearly secured, a high level of effectiveness can be expected. ★

Chin surgery (T osteotomy) As the number of patients wanting a V-line has increased sharply recently, T osteotomy is being performed to make the chin pointier and smoother.

T osteotomy has the advantage of allowing both advancement and setback of the chin at the same time, and it is a procedure with the major benefit of safely protecting the nerve line. Even patients who do not undergo square jaw reduction surgery can have T osteotomy alone.

The surgery takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 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 concern about whether nerve sensation will return. If the nerve line is distributed low, long curved square jaw surgery may be difficult to perform. However, most chin surgeries, including T osteotomy, can be performed without difficulty.

If 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.

Cheekbone reduction surgery Cheekbone reduction surgery is a procedure in which protruding cheekbones extending to the front and sides are cut and pushed inward.

This surgery has the advantage of producing significant effects in both side and frontal views after the operation. In general, cheekbone reduction surgery is performed through an intraoral incision by dissecting the cheekbone area, and surgery is carried out through a skin incision in front of the ear or an incision in the scalp for osteotomy of the cheekbone area. The anesthesia method is general anesthesia, and the surgery takes about 1 hour.

The area that many patients worry about most is sagging cheeks. If the medical team has abundant know-how and skill, cheek sagging does not need to be a major concern. However, if dissection is minimized during cheekbone reduction surgery and the cheekbone body and arch are firmly fixed to the maxilla so they do not move, then the possibility of cheek sagging after cheekbone surgery is greatly reduced.

230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery Considering the long recovery time, which is a drawback of conventional cheekbone reduction surgery, quick cheekbone reduction surgery has recently received a strong response as it shortens the recovery period while achieving the same effect. Quick cheekbone reduction surgery is performed through a scalp incision and endoscopy, and has the advantage of not causing discomfort when speaking or eating after surgery. However, it had the drawback of being limited to the side cheekbone, so only a limited number of people could benefit from it.

The 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery, created to compensate for those shortcomings, retains the advantages of the existing quick cheekbone reduction surgery, such as scalp incision and fast recovery, and was designed so that frontal, side, and 45-degree oblique views can all benefit through 45-degree cheekbone shaving. The 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia, and the surgery takes about 20 minutes. A small scalp incision of about 1 cm is made, and the procedure is performed using endoscopy. Because the scar area is not exposed externally, it also has the advantage of no risk of scarring. Unlike conventional cheekbone reduction surgery, the 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery uses a natural adhesion fixation method without fixation using a plate. Another advantage is that it does not appear as though you had surgery even on airport security scanners or X-ray imaging. Of course, if plate fixation is desired, fixation is also possible.

Because 230-degree three-dimensional cheekbone reduction surgery is performed without fixation, people often worry that the bone may not heal properly or may protrude. However, since the cutting surface is recently made at an angle during the process of pushing the cheekbones inward to prevent the bone from popping up, you do not need to worry.
