Zygoma Revision Surgery: Restoring Facial Harmony

In this video, we introduce a case of revision Surgery for a patient who suffered from side effects after receiving zygoma Surgery at another clinic. The patient, who was concerned that their face appeared larger and had severe cheek sagging after the initial Surgery, returned to O.N Clinic.

Disappointment with the First Surgery: Zygoma Surgery Without Midface Reduction

When the patient had a Consultation at our clinic a year ago, they were advised to consider midface reduction along with the zygoma Surgery. However, due to cost concerns, they proceeded with a 3-part facial contouring Surgery at another clinic. Unfortunately, the first Surgery was not satisfactory.

"When only the zygoma was reduced without reducing the midface, it created a step-like appearance. This area actually looks larger, and it has sagged."

As Dr. Oh Myung-jun explained, reducing only the zygoma without sufficient improvement in the midface area resulted in a 'step-like appearance,' making the central part of the face appear wider. Additionally, severe cheek sagging made the face look older overall.

O.N Clinic's Decision for Revision Surgery: The Harmony of Bone Repositioning and Lifting

The patient revisited O.N Clinic a year after the first Surgery and decided to undergo revision Surgery. Dr. Oh Myung-jun had reassured the patient from the first Consultation, saying, "You will become beautiful, so don't worry," but their choice to go elsewhere due to cost ultimately led to more expense and difficulty.

At O.N Clinic, we prioritize not just bone reduction, but also the overall harmony of the face and a natural Lifting effect. In this revision Surgery, we focused on adjusting the bone position to reduce midface length and simultaneously lifting the sagging skin.

• 3D CT Analysis: Before Surgery, a precise 3D CT Scan was performed to accurately identify the problems from the previous Surgery.
• Zygoma Repositioning: The splayed zygoma was moved inward to reduce facial width.
• Midface Reduction: The zygoma was moved upward to effectively reduce midface length.
• Skin Lifting: By utilizing the retaining ligaments firmly attached to the bone, the skin was naturally lifted as the bone was elevated.

Post-Revision Surgery Changes: Rejuvenating Effect and Satisfactory Results

After the Surgery, the patient experienced a remarkable transformation.

"Can you see that the sagging skin has lifted? Because the retaining ligaments are attached here, when the bone is lifted, the skin also lifts with it."

As Dr. Oh Myung-jun mentioned, the sagging skin was lifted, transforming the face into a much younger and more vibrant appearance. As the facial width decreased and the midface length shortened, the overall impression improved to be much softer and more refined. The patient was very satisfied looking in the mirror.

"I'm satisfied with the quick and good results. If I had waited longer, I wouldn't have seen such a great effect."

This case demonstrates how crucial a comprehensive approach is in facial contouring Surgery, considering not just bone size reduction, but also facial dimensionality and skin elasticity. Especially in revision Surgery, accurately analyzing the cause of the initial Surgery's failure and providing a customized solution tailored to the individual's facial structure is key.
