ON Midface Cheekbone Surgery: Reduce This, Not the Cheekbone
Midface and Cheekbone Surgery: Discovering Your True Facial Beauty
Hello, I'm Dr. Oh Myung-jun, director of O.N Clinic. Today, I'd like to introduce a patient's case where we resolved misunderstandings about facial shape, particularly regarding the cheekbones and midface length, and helped them discover their true beauty. The patient initially thought their cheekbones were wide, making their face appear large, but the Diagnosis revealed something different.
Are Cheekbones Really the Cause of a Long-Looking Face?
Many people believe that protruding cheekbones make their face look wide, and they immediately want to reduce them. However, simply reducing the cheekbones can actually make the face appear longer. This patient also initially thought their cheekbones were the problem.
Patient: "I think this is the problem area. I need to reduce it." Dr. Oh Myung-jun: "The cheekbones aren't the cause! Reducing the cheekbones will make your face look longer. In fact, you might look prettier now (without Surgery)!"
As I diagnosed the patient's face, I found that the length of the midface and the width of the head had a greater impact on the facial shape than the size of the cheekbones themselves. In particular, the long midface, along with facial asymmetry, was dominating the overall impression.
O.N Clinic's Special Midface and Cheekbone Surgery: Harmony of Length and Width
My Midface and Cheekbone Surgery is not simply about shaving down the cheekbones. The core is to reduce the central part of the face and harmoniously adjust the overall length and width, making the cheekbones appear to naturally recede inward.
Dr. Oh Myung-jun: "It's about reducing the center, and reducing the length and width to make the cheekbones go inward, not about reducing the cheekbones themselves."
Through CT scans, we precisely analyzed the patient's skull and head size. If the head is larger than the skull, we formulate a Planning to reduce the overall facial width, taking this into account.
- Precise CT Analysis: We accurately identify the structure of the facial bones and the degree of asymmetry using 3D CT.
- Midface Length Reduction: We reduce the length of the midface between the nose and mouth to improve the overall facial proportion.
- Head Width Adjustment: We reduce the width of the head, including the cheekbones, to make the face appear smaller and more three-dimensional.
- Natural Cheekbone Position: The cheekbones naturally move inward, creating a softer facial line.
The post-Surgery CT images show a significant reduction in midface length and the cheekbones completely moved inward. The patient was very satisfied with the Surgery results.
Dr. Oh Myung-jun: "There's asymmetry, and the midface is incredibly long. It's reduced by more than half."
The Patient's Moving Transformation and Satisfaction
After the Recovery period following Surgery, the patient we met again was remarkably transformed. The Consultation manager informed us that the patient was "like a different person" and very satisfied, even personally promoting the clinic to other Consultation clients.
Patient: "Wow~ So good! Pretty~ Pretty~!" Patient: "Thank you, Director!" (They learned Korean specifically to express their gratitude.)
I told the patient this:
Dr. Oh Myung-jun: "You were always a beautiful person. I just helped you find that beauty."
This statement reflects my philosophy of care. I believe my role is to help patients discover their inherent beauty and to ensure that beauty is expressed in the most harmonious and natural way possible.
Post-Surgery Care and Ongoing Satisfaction
Even after Surgery, we provide thorough post-operative care to help patients maintain the best possible results. The patient realized the change by looking in the mirror and returned to daily life with increased confidence.
O.N Clinic respects each patient's unique facial structure and individuality, constantly researching and striving to find the most ideal beauty. If you have concerns about your facial shape, we encourage you to receive a precise Diagnosis and customized Consultation at O.N Clinic.
