Facial contouring
3-area facial contouring (윤곽3종)
Cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction and genioplasty in a single operation so the line from cheekbone to chin runs smoothly. EU emphasises a narrower resection range to reduce bleeding, swelling and pain.
Who it suits
- A wide face with a rounded chin
- A large, angular face shape
- Cases where square jaw surgery alone gives too little frontal change
Technique highlights
- Planned on 3D CT showing bone thickness and nerve position
- Osteotomy position and angle valued above the amount of bone removed
- Both co-directors take part in the operation
Surgical steps
- 3D CT with a face design that considers overall balance
- Cheekbone reduction with a raised osteotomy and dual fixation
- A long-curved ostectomy from the angle along the lateral border
- Chin narrowed and proportioned with a T-osteotomy
Recovery & aftercare
- Two or more areas require one night as an inpatient
- Noticeable de-swelling after one week and largely settled at a month
- Follow-ups at one week, two weeks and two months, with two weeks of laser care
Risks & things to consider
- Operating on every area at once is not always right; only the necessary areas are treated
Frequently asked questions
