Lee Yeon-hee (F, 27), who teaches drawing to children, has been thinking about square jaw and cheekbone reduction. Yeonhee's personality is as feminine as anyone's, but because her square jaw and cheekbones stood out she has heard 'you look tough' and 'you don't look feminine' since childhood, enough to cause real stress.
Having been misunderstood because of the image her appearance projects and inconvenienced in daily life, Yeonhee badly wants to change her impression with a V-line jaw and a smooth contour like the celebrities on TV. She tried contouring massage tools and facial slimming massage but did not get dramatic results, which is why she began considering surgery.
On this, Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, "Every plastic surgery should be decided carefully, but when the area is facial contour work such as the cheekbones or jaw, people think even harder about safety and recovery time," adding, "Recently, facial contouring surgery has been raising safety through minimal dissection and micro-incisions using an advanced endoscope, shortening recovery and easing the burden on patients."
With 3D square jaw reduction, because the surgery is performed with an advanced endoscope, it addresses not only simple bone resection but also cortical osteotomy and muscle and fat removal, resolving together the elements that get in the way of a smooth jawline, while keeping unnecessary tissue damage and bleeding as low as possible to raise the safety of the surgery.
In addition, the long curved resection method, which cuts in one continuous line from below the ear to the tip of the chin, produces a slim, smooth jawline even when viewed at 45 and 90 degrees, and because the resection is not focused only on the mandibular angle below the ear, the likelihood of a secondary angle forming is low, so concerns about revision surgery are also lower.
3D cheekbone reduction likewise identifies the blood vessels and soft and bony tissues at the surgical site in real time, so minimal dissection and micro-incision are carried out only where necessary. And with an upward close-fixation method, the lateral and 45-degree cheekbones that make the face look uneven are reduced while the volume of the front cheekbone is preserved, so a three-dimensional facial contour can be achieved without side effects such as cheek sagging.
Dr. Sangyoon Lee of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, who specializes in 3D cheekbone and square jaw reduction, advised, "With facial contouring surgery, performing the operation with the post-operative recovery period in mind is one way to raise satisfaction," adding, "When choosing a clinic, it is good to go through everything from consultation to surgery at a place with advanced medical equipment on a par with a university hospital and an anesthesiologist who can respond quickly in an emergency."
