ON Midface Malar Reduction: Decided After Seeing a Friend's Result
O.N Clinic Midface Cheekbone Reduction Surgery: Solving Wide Face and Asymmetry Concerns
Hello, this is O.N Clinic. Today, we would like to introduce a case of midface cheekbone reduction Surgery for a patient who was concerned about facial asymmetry, a wide upper face, and a narrow lower face. The patient was very worried that other clinics' Surgery methods might make her face appear longer. However, she visited us on the recommendation of a friend who had Surgery at O.N Clinic and achieved good results.
Patient's Main Concerns and Dr.'s Diagnosis
The patient was very concerned about her face shape, which had a wide upper face and a narrow lower face. In particular, she mentioned that she chose O.N Clinic because she was told at other clinics that her face might appear longer. As a result of Dr. Oh Myung-jun's diagnosis, the patient had a unique skeletal structure where the back of her head was large, but her cheekbones were relatively small. This structure could make the face appear generally wide and cause asymmetry.
"I want to have Surgery with a doctor who gets good results because I'm worried that other clinics' Surgery methods might make my face appear longer!" "My face is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and I'm concerned about it." "The reason is that the back of your head is large. And your cheekbones are small."
The doctor meticulously analyzed the patient's face and explained, "If the cheekbones move inward to align with the eye bones, the asymmetry will improve, and the lower facial proportions will also improve..." This means that he devised a Planning that considered the overall proportions and harmony of the face, beyond simply reducing the cheekbones.
O.N Clinic's Unique Midface Cheekbone Reduction Surgery
Considering the patient's characteristics, O.N Clinic developed the following Planning:
- Midface Reduction: Reduces the width of the central part of the face to make the overall face length appear shorter.
- Medial Cheekbone Movement: Instead of simply osteotomizing the cheekbones, they are moved inward to effectively reduce the facial width.
The doctor clearly explained this Surgery method, saying, "We will reduce the midface and narrow the cheekbones inward." This method focuses on making the face smaller and more three-dimensional while minimizing the side effect of the face appearing longer. The patient's friend also had Surgery using the same method and achieved satisfactory results.
Surgery Results and Patient Satisfaction
CT scans taken 5 months after Surgery show that the patient's head asymmetry, which had a difference of about 2 times, significantly improved. The cheekbones also naturally moved inward to align with the eye bones, and the facial width was remarkably reduced. The patient looked in the mirror and expressed great satisfaction, saying, "It's reduced so much~!", "The results are so good~!"
O.N Clinic strives to precisely analyze each patient's facial features and propose the most suitable Surgery method for each individual to achieve natural and satisfactory results. If you are considering facial contour improvement, we recommend having a Consultation at O.N Clinic.
