Surprisingly many people feel stress about the cheekbones that protrude between the forehead and the cheeks. Cheekbones that come forward to a moderate degree give the face dimension and volume, but the problem is cheekbones that jut out to the side. With a smooth V-line face shape as the trend, more people regard side cheekbones as something to be self-conscious about rather than a feature of their own. Some try to hide them with a hairstyle or makeup, but there is a limit to keeping the same hairstyle and makeup for life, which makes it all the more of a worry. For these people, facial contouring surgery such as cheekbone reduction is bound to be tempting. Creating a slim facial line without cheekbones jutting out is the core of cheekbone contouring. Still, what makes people hesitate before deciding on the surgery is the worry about side effects. The most common one is cheek sagging after cheekbone reduction. An office worker, A, who recently had a consultation about the procedure, said, "Being able to remove the cheekbones I disliked was appealing, but side effects such as cheek sagging cannot be ignored, so when it came time to actually have the surgery I did hesitate." Since it changes the shape of the face, it is only natural that more people look for a safer and more accurate surgical method. Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of the facial contouring center at TheLINE Plastic Surgery, explains, "To keep cheek sagging from occurring after contouring surgery, you have to check your own facial bones through a 3D-CT analysis before the operation, and choose a surgical method suited to your face shape based on the diagnosis of a medical team specialized in facial bone surgery." Of course, facial soft tissue with little skin aging and good cohesion recovers quickly, but concerns about sagging after surgery cannot be overlooked. Addressing this as much as possible is also the way to avoid facial contouring revision surgery. With 3D cheekbone contouring, the upward tight fixation technique is used to secure the bone firmly. The upward tight fixation method fixes the bone upward so that the face keeps its volume, which can prevent cheek sagging after surgery. It reduces the cheekbone that protrudes unattractively to the side while also helping improve the volume of the front cheekbone. Dr. Soyoung Lee, Director at the clinic, advised, "To avoid side effects such as cheek sagging caused by an indiscriminate cheekbone reduction and to raise satisfaction with the surgery, you need a consultation with a specialist who has long surgical experience and know-how, and a suitable surgical choice based on a precise diagnostic analysis," adding, "It is also an important factor if facial contouring revision surgery becomes unavoidable, so it must be checked." <Copyright ?
