This is an age when people feel that 'appearance is competitiveness' too. According to a survey conducted last year by a job portal, appearance seems to have a certain influence on hiring. In a survey of 273 hiring managers, 84.2% of respondents answered that "an applicant's appearance affects the evaluation." Since a neat appearance can make a favorable impression, many people, job seekers included, set about 'grooming their looks.' They diet for a sharper impression and also pay attention to hairstyle, makeup and clothing to gain a neat, refined image. Still, a square jaw and cheekbones, which can look stubborn and tough, are hard to cover with makeup and hairstyle alone, and can become a concern. For those who have tried massage and beauty devices as well but are worn out because the face shape they were born with is hard to change, facial contouring surgery becomes a final consideration. According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, facial contouring surgery today allows safer and more precise operations thanks to advanced medical equipment. Identifying blood vessels and soft tissue at the surgical site in real time with an advanced endoscope leaves almost no unnecessary tissue damage and raises safety, and a 3D-CT diagnosis beforehand identifies the patient's individual facial structure and facial bones so that side effects can also be prevented. The 3D cheekbone reduction performed in this way keeps the volume of the front cheekbone while reducing the cheekbone that protrudes unattractively to the side, completing a three-dimensional face. With the upward tight fixation method, the resected cheekbone is fixed upward together with the muscle, easing concerns about cheek sagging. With 3D square jaw reduction, it is not only the jawbone that is resected: muscle and fat removal and cortical osteotomy, which address what keeps the jawline from looking smooth, complete the face shape further. A single curved resection from below the ear to the tip of the chin gives a slim, smooth jawline from the front as well as at 45 degrees and from the side. Dr. 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 more safely."
