Zygoma and Mandible Reduction: Fast Recovery and Patient’s Satisfaction

High cheekbones and square jaw make your image manly and less chic. Sleek and V-lined face without rugged side cheekbones are considered to be the most desirable face for most women.

Recently, men are trying to find a way to improve their square jaw and cheekbones to make their image look more gentle and appealing to other people. So they use cosmetic appliances such as a derma roller or they massage their face to have a better face outline, but it is really difficult to change their original facial structure on the longer run.

Therefore many people consider having plastic surgery such as mandibular-plasty, zygomaplasty or facial contouring which focus on making a beautiful facial outline. If one wants quick results, these are more effective methods than using cosmetic appliances, but you should be careful when you think of having your bones removed.

According to Dr. Kim HongYul, people think that small zygoma is the best way to look good. However a moderate side cheekbone also contributes to looking young so you have to reduce side and 45-degree cheekbones as much as possible and make your frontal cheeks have some volume through 3D zygomaplasty.

When the cheekbones are repositioned and fixed through upwards-fixation method, cheekbones and the soft tissues around it adhere together that it prevents side effects such as sagging cheeks enhancing safety of the operation.

When it comes to square jaw surgery, if you focus only on the removal of the square jaw under ear, you may have secondary angle which would require a further revision surgery to be corrected. So, you can minimize side effects and avoid a revision surgery through long-curved mandibular osteotomy that cuts the angle under the ear to the chin at once. Also, it enables you to recover fast through minimal detachment by intraoral endoscope and micro-incision.

Dr. Lee, SoYoung said “Of course it is important to enhance patient’s satisfaction with 3D method, but you also have to focus on minimizing side effects and increasing safety of the surgery. You need to choose a right medical institution where accurate diagnosis by special 3D-CT equipment is available and has medical professionals and anesthetists who have ample experience along with top general hospital’s emergency system.”
