ON Facial Contouring: Dr Oh's Zygoma Revision for Asymmetry and Non-Union
We would like to introduce the journey of a patient who visited O.N Clinic for revision cheekbone Surgery. This patient came to our clinic through a strong recommendation from a friend. Her friend was very satisfied with the Surgery performed by Dr. Oh Myung-jun, so the patient also came with high expectations. Although she seemed a bit nervous before the Surgery, she showed deep trust in Dr. Oh.
Precise Diagnosis and Customized Planning
The patient wanted to resolve the issues of cheekbone asymmetry and non-union resulting from her previous Surgery. Dr. Oh Myung-jun personally diagnosed the patient's face, meticulously analyzed the bone structure through 3D CT images, and conducted a detailed Consultation.
- Right cheekbone: It was already on the shorter side, so the focus was on avoiding excessive reduction and maintaining a natural line.
- Left cheekbone: It needed to be reduced more to balance with the right side. In particular, the focus was on refining the roundly protruding part of the cheekbone to be closer to a straight line, creating a smooth contour from both the front and side views.
Dr. Oh drew Design lines directly on the CT images and explained in detail the parts the patient was curious about. He accurately identified the degree of bone protrusion and the cause of asymmetry, and based on this, established a Planning to balance both cheekbones.
"The reason is to correct the asymmetry. This side has no choice but to be reduced a lot, and the opposite side can be reduced less."
Post-Surgery Progress and Asymmetry Improvement
Immediately after Surgery, swelling is minimal, and it tends to increase more after a week. The patient appeared stable immediately after Surgery and visited the clinic again after a week for a follow-up check. Dr. Oh Myung-jun explained the Surgery results by comparing pre- and post-Surgery photos and 3D CT images.
After Surgery, the patient's face showed clear improvement. In particular, the cheekbone asymmetry was significantly resolved, making the overall facial contour much more balanced and smoother.
- Cheekbone reduction and symmetry improvement: The cheekbones were effectively reduced to match the eye bone line, and as the asymmetry improved, the midface as a whole achieved a reduced effect.
- Resolution of non-union issue: The non-union area from the previous Surgery was also treated to ensure stable re-union.
Dr. Oh Myung-jun honestly explained that while the patient's cheekbone asymmetry was successfully corrected, subtle asymmetries of the eye bones or the skull itself might remain. He also advised that additional tightening might be necessary for sagging soft tissues through procedures such as Ultherapy or Thermage.
The patient was very satisfied with the Surgery results and was able to return to daily life with increased confidence. O.N Clinic strives for the best results through customized Planning that considers each patient's unique characteristics and delicate surgical techniques.
