As the joke 'the face completes the outfit' suggests, interest in appearance has grown, and a small V-line face with smooth contours has become the trend. A slim V-line face that still keeps its volume gives a refined look as well as a soft, feminine impression, and can even create a three-dimensional youthful effect, which is why many women prefer it. On the other hand, prominent cheekbones or a square jaw with a developed lower face leave the facial line uneven rather than smooth, which can make the face look large and wide and can also make a person look older than they are. Cheekbones that stand out give a face character, but they can become a source of concern when they soften the feminine impression and make the face look less refined. People who feel self-conscious about such a face shape try all sorts of methods to change their facial contours, from beauty devices and massage to makeup and hairstyles, yet a satisfying change is not easy to get. Some consider cheekbone reduction or facial contouring surgery as a final option to change their impression, but since it involves shaving the bone directly, safety and side effects are a worry. According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, facial contouring today allows more precise and safer cheekbone and square jaw reduction because a medical team specialized in facial contouring analyzes each patient's individual facial structure with advanced medical equipment before operating. One such device, the advanced endoscope, lets the surgeon see the blood vessels and soft tissue at the surgical site in real time for precise surgery, and because there is almost no unnecessary tissue damage, side effects can be prevented. A 3D-CT diagnosis beforehand also analyzes each patient's facial structure and facial bones, so safety can be raised through minimal incisions. The 3D cheekbone reduction performed in this way uses an advanced endoscope to precisely trim the protruding cheekbone and the lateral contour while keeping the volume of the front cheekbone, completing a three-dimensional face. When the upward tight fixation method is applied, the cheekbone and the soft tissue around it are firmly attached, which eases concerns about side effects such as cheek sagging. The 3D square jaw reduction likewise uses an endoscope made for facial contouring and a long curved resection from below the ear to the tip of the chin, so a sharp jawline shows from the front, at 45 degrees, or from the side. Muscle and fat removal and cortical osteotomy, which address what keeps the jawline from looking smooth, can be expected to complete the facial line further. Dr. Chung said, "Facial contouring surgery today reduces the burden on patients through minimal incisions and quick recovery, but as with every plastic surgery procedure, it is important to decide after a thorough consultation with a specialized medical team," adding, "When choosing a clinic, it is good to check whether the medical team has extensive procedural experience and whether an anesthesiologist is on site so that emergencies can be handled quickly." <Copyright ?
