Midface Zygoma Reduction Chinese Patient Review: Becoming an Influencer
A Special Connection That Led Her to O.N Clinic
This is the story of a Chinese patient who found our O.N Clinic through a blog post she wrote herself. The surprise and joy we felt when the author of that very blog, which countless Chinese patients had shown us as a reference, visited us in person, were beyond words. The patient had always had clear criteria for the face shape she desired, and she had meticulously organized them on her blog.
The Face Shape Our Patient Dreamed Of
The patient wanted flat cheekbones when viewed from the front, and she did not want protruding cheekbones from a 45-degree angle. Additionally, she preferred an overall long and sharp face shape and hoped to minimize the midface area as much as possible. These requirements necessitated a complex Planning that went beyond simply reducing the size of the cheekbones, considering the overall proportion and harmony of the face.
Planning and the Director's Perspective
Looking at the patient's CT scans, we confirmed that the size of her cheekbones was similar on both sides. However, it was noticeable that the size and length of her midface differed compared to her eyes. I explained that to achieve the face shape the patient desired, not only bone reduction but also skin contraction was very important.
"To change the face shape in this way, not only changes in the bone but also how well the skin tissue contracts is very important. Especially if the cheekbones are reduced, the midface alone can appear more prominent, so satisfactory results can be achieved only when the skin contracts well along with the retaining ligaments."
Amazing Surgery Results and the Patient's Reaction
After the Surgery, the patient exclaimed "Wow!" as she looked in the mirror. I was also very satisfied with the patient's transformed appearance.
Comparing the pre- and post-Surgery CT scans, you can see that the cheekbones were reduced by about half, making the overall face smaller and softer. In particular, the improvement in the 45-degree cheekbone area was prominent, bringing her closer to the flat and sharp face shape the patient desired.
The patient consistently left satisfied reviews even after 2 weeks, 1 month, and 7 months post-Surgery. Especially in the 7-month follow-up photo, she boasted an even more natural and beautiful face shape.
- 2 weeks post-Surgery: Swelling began to subside, and changes in face shape became noticeable.
- 1 month post-Surgery: Swelling significantly reduced, and the face became smaller.
- 7 months post-Surgery: The final face shape was complete, looking more natural and satisfactory.
