Almost no one can deny that appearance has a large influence on social life. A small, slim face in particular gives a soft, refined impression and improves body proportion, which helps leave a likable first impression.
On the other hand, protruding cheekbones and a square jaw can create a 'tough image' that leads to misunderstanding around you, and can become a source of self-consciousness by softening a feminine look. People in service or sales work who want to leave a good impression on customers may worry about the strong image created by an uneven facial line, and it can also be a source of stress for job seekers facing interviews.
If makeup, hairstyles, massage and other methods have brought no satisfying change, facial contouring surgery becomes a final consideration. Facial contouring can change the cheekbones and square jaw dramatically, but since it involves shaving bone directly, performing it safely matters more than anything.
According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, facial contouring surgery today can prevent side effects and be carried out more safely through methods that use advanced medical equipment. A 3D-CT diagnosis beforehand identifies the patient's individual facial structure and facial bones, so the possibility of side effects can be prevented.
Using an advanced endoscope during surgery lets the surgeon identify the blood vessels and soft tissue at the surgical site in real time, and because there is almost no unnecessary tissue damage, more precise surgery is possible. It is also worth noting that safety can be raised further because the incision is minimal.
The 3D cheekbone reduction performed in this way reduces the cheekbone that protrudes unattractively to the side while keeping the volume of the front cheekbone, completing a three-dimensional, youthful face, and with the upward tight fixation method the resected cheekbone is fixed upward together with the muscle, which can reduce the possibility of cheek sagging.
With 3D square jaw reduction, a long curved resection from below the ear to the tip of the chin in one pass creates a slim, smooth jawline from the front as well as at 45 degrees and from the side. Beyond simply resecting the jawbone, cortical osteotomy and muscle and fat removal take away the muscle and fat that keep the jawline from looking smooth, so a more complete facial line can be created as well.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung said, "As with every plastic surgery procedure, facial contouring must be decided carefully after a consultation with a specialized medical team," adding, "If you have decided on surgery, it is good to choose a clinic where an anesthesiologist is on site so that emergencies can be handled quickly and the operation can be performed safely."
