The looks that commonly draw the compliment 'feminine' are often faces with fine, smooth lines. A slim facial contour and a V-line jaw give a soft yet refined impression, and have become something many people aspire to. The fact that the V-line face shape remains popular in the entertainment world alone shows how large an effect a smooth facial line has on appearance. There are so many people in the entertainment world with exceptional facial lines that you really feel the saying 'a beautiful face shape makes a beauty.' Given this, people with prominent cheekbones and a square jaw may feel dissatisfied with their appearance and envy the V-line face. Cheekbones and a square jaw convey strength and charisma, but feminine beauty can be lower than with a V-line face, and a refined look can be diminished as well. What matters is that it is not easy to change the face shape you are born with. That is why some people, after trying all kinds of massage and beauty devices without satisfying results, come to the difficult decision to have surgery. So what is a safe and effective surgical approach? According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, cheekbone reduction and square jaw reduction can now be performed more precisely and safely because a pre-operative 3D-CT diagnosis allows the facial bones and the soft tissues to be assessed accurately in advance. 3D square jaw reduction applying this approach addresses not only jawbone resection but also cortical osteotomy and muscle and fat removal, resolving together the elements such as muscle and fat that get in the way of a smooth jawline, so a slimmer face shape can be achieved. With 3D cheekbone reduction as well, an upward close-fixation method can prevent cheek sagging, reducing the protruding lateral cheekbone while giving natural volume to the front cheekbone, so a three-dimensional and younger-looking face shape becomes possible.
In addition, using an advanced endoscope makes it possible to identify the blood vessels and soft tissue at the surgical site in real time, so the prominent cheekbones and the lateral contour can be refined safely and precisely with almost no unnecessary tissue damage. Dr. Sangyoon Lee said, "Moving beyond surgery that simply resects the cheekbones and square jaw, approaching it three-dimensionally with a precise prior diagnosis using advanced medical equipment is the way to raise satisfaction with the result," adding, "We recommend choosing a clinic where surgery can be performed safely and where an anesthesiologist is on site so that emergencies can be handled quickly."
