Anti-aging contouring: midface zygoma & V-line review, mistaken for her 20s
Facial Contouring for a Youthful Look: My Experience with Mid-Face Cheekbone Reduction and V-Line Surgery
For a long time, I was concerned about my face shape, which looked wide and spread out, and my jawline, which seemed to get longer towards the front. In particular, I often heard that my mid-face area looked long, making me appear older than my actual age. Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt a strong sense of disappointment with my somewhat flat and un立体 (three-dimensional) impression. During my Consultation with the director, I clearly communicated these concerns, and I hoped for a solution that would enhance my facial strengths while addressing my weaknesses.
Diagnosis and Customized Planning Before Surgery
The director meticulously examined my face and accurately pointed out that my cheekbones were wide, making my face appear spread out, and my jaw looked long. They explained that my eyes, nose, and mouth were already pretty, so it would be difficult to achieve significant changes with other surgeries. However, facial contouring Surgery could improve the overall balance and proportion of my face and create a more youthful impression. Specifically, the Planning involved mid-face cheekbone reduction and V-line Surgery to enhance the 立体感 (three-dimensionality) of my face and lift the retaining ligaments to improve elasticity. This was a delicate approach that considered the overall harmony of the face, not just simple bone resection.
"Your cheekbones here are a bit wide. They look a bit spread out. They don't look 立体 (three-dimensional). Your jaw also gets a bit longer towards the front. I can provide that solution. Your eyes, nose, and mouth are all pretty, aren't they? There's nothing that isn't pretty. There's nothing that can be upgraded through plastic Surgery here, not with other surgeries. But what I'm going to do today, our mid-face cheekbones and refining this jaw a bit, that can be an upgrade."
1 Month Post-Surgery: The Beginning of a Remarkable Transformation
One month after the Surgery, my reflection in the mirror was quite different. Even with some swelling remaining, my face looked noticeably younger, and people around me commented that I looked 10 years younger. The director explained, "The reason you look younger is because I lifted the retaining ligaments. Even with the swelling now, it's lifted," emphasizing that they had changed the facial bone structure itself to make it appear younger. Through CT scans, I could also confirm that my previously blunt jawline had become slender and sharp, and my long mid-face area had shortened by about half, maximizing the youthful effect.
- Before Surgery: Wide and spread-out mid-face cheekbones, blunt and long jawline
- After Surgery: Reduced mid-face cheekbones, slender and shortened V-line jawline
2 Months Post-Surgery: The Youthful Effect Becomes Even Clearer
After two months, the swelling had further subsided, and my facial lines became even more defined. The director expressed satisfaction with my younger appearance, even joking, "I'd believe you if you said you were in your 20s," and "You're almost forty." The director laughed heartily when I mentioned that I had been telling the staff during shoots that I was in my 20s. I also had concerns about skin elasticity, and the director said that once the swelling subsided and elasticity improved, I would look even younger much faster. They suggested Ulthera and Titanium treatments every 2-3 weeks for skin tightening and a collagen booster treatment to further enhance skin elasticity. It was very reassuring to know that I could maintain an even more perfect youthful look through continuous post-Surgery care.
This facial contouring Surgery was more than just a change in appearance; it restored my confidence and vitality. Every time I look in the mirror, a smile naturally forms on my face, pleased with my facial lines and younger appearance.
