ON Facial Contouring Zygoma Revision: A Younger Face With Improved Skin Sagging
The patient who visited O.N Clinic was deeply concerned about various issues that arose after previous cheekbone Surgery. Specifically, it was a complex situation involving sagging skin in the cheekbone area, facial asymmetry, and even traces of non-union of the bone from the first Surgery. The patient expressed regret that the previous Surgery made their impression appear somewhat strong and masculine, and desired a more youthful and feminine face shape.
Revision Surgery: Design Beyond Simple Correction
When we first examined the patient's face, we believed it was important to accurately understand the complex condition caused by the previous Surgery. In particular, skin sagging in the cheekbone area is one of the phenomena that can commonly occur after facial contouring Surgery. The director explained this phenomenon, saying, "There is wrinkled skin on the side, isn't there? There are traces left after the lifting procedure. We anticipate that this will also improve," emphasizing that these skin problems could also be improved through revision Surgery. We also informed the patient that if subtle traces remained after Surgery, additional improvement could be achieved with Botox treatment.
Precise Diagnosis and Customized Planning
The patient's CT scan results showed that the cheekbone was cut in the middle during the previous Surgery and was unstable. The director commented, "Oh dear... there's a bone cut in the middle. Isn't XXX Hospital a famous place?" accurately diagnosing the problems of the previous Surgery. To resolve these issues, we meticulously analyzed the degree of facial asymmetry, the exact position of the cheekbones, and the condition of the skin and soft tissues through 3D CT analysis.
The patient desired a youthful yet feminine face shape. Listening to the patient's needs, the director said, "Okay, let's make it happen! But, skin contraction is necessary to achieve this!" proposing an integrated approach that considered not only bone Surgery but also improving skin elasticity.
Dramatic Changes Through Cheekbone Revision Surgery
At O.N Clinic, we focused on accurately correcting the patient's asymmetrical cheekbones and stably fixing the bone that was incorrectly cut during the first Surgery. Our goal was to perfectly match the left-right asymmetry (the right side being larger) seen in the pre-Surgery CT images.
"I will make it perfect!" "Actually, this Surgery is more like double jaw Surgery than double jaw Surgery itself." "But the most important thing here is looking younger!"
Despite the high difficulty of the Surgery, the director showed a strong commitment to doing their best for the patient's satisfaction. Through cheekbone revision Surgery, the following changes were achieved:
- Cheekbone Width Reduction: Significantly decreased from 82mm to 52mm.
- Improved Cheekbone Protrusion: Reduced from 26mm to 12mm, creating a softer side profile.
- Facial Asymmetry Correction: Balanced the left and right cheekbones to achieve overall facial harmony.
- Improved Skin Sagging: Maximized the youthful effect by considering skin elasticity along with bone Surgery.
This was a process of restoring overall facial harmony and balance, beyond simple bone reduction.
Impression Change and Patient Satisfaction
Four months after the Surgery, the patient visited us with a remarkably changed appearance. The strong and masculine impression of the past was completely gone, transformed into a kind, youthful, and feminine atmosphere. The patient was very satisfied looking in the mirror and expressed gratitude to the director, saying, "Director, you're the best!!"
At O.N Clinic, we strive to deeply understand each patient's individual facial characteristics and desires, and to provide the optimal solution that suits them, going beyond simply shaving bones. Especially in the case of revision Surgery, precise techniques and experience in accurately analyzing the causes of the first Surgery's failure and improving them are essential. We are continuously researching and developing to provide satisfactory results even for revision Surgery patients with complex problems like these.
