Zygoma and Midface Reduction Asymmetry Correction: Bigger Eyes Too
A patient visited O.N Clinic with concerns about facial asymmetry and eye size. In particular, they expressed curiosity about whether their eyes would become wider horizontally or vertically. Dr. Oh Myung-jun explained that while the actual shape of the eyes does not change, the visual effect of the eyes appearing much larger can be achieved by reducing the empty space on the face. After hearing the explanation, the patient showed great anticipation for the Surgery results, despite some nervousness.
The Secret to Midface Reduction and Eye Size
Many people worry about small eyes and often only consider Surgery to enlarge them. However, sometimes the overall facial proportions, especially the length of the midface, greatly influence the visual perception of eye size. If the midface is long, the eyes may appear relatively small, and conversely, if the midface is reduced, the eyes can appear larger and more refreshed. This is a positive change that occurs not because the size of the eyes themselves changes, but because the overall harmony and proportions of the face are improved.
Dr. Oh Myung-jun's Diagnosis and Design
Dr. Oh Myung-jun meticulously analyzed the patient's CT scan to create a Planning. He candidly explained that while cheekbone asymmetry can be corrected to align with the eyes, eye and head asymmetry might remain. Dr. Oh Myung-jun goes beyond simple Surgery, deeply understanding each patient's facial structure and providing a Custom Design for optimal results.
"At other clinics, dermatologists may not know what to do, but I precisely Design where and how to perform the procedure."
At O.N Clinic, we emphasize continuous post-Surgery care. After Surgery, various procedures such as Ultherapy, Softwave, and Thermage are used to induce skin and tissue contraction, creating a more elastic and smooth facial line. This integrated approach stems from Dr. Oh Myung-jun's extensive experience and expertise.
- Precise CT Analysis: Accurately identifies facial bone structure and the degree of asymmetry through 3D CT.
- Personalized Custom Design: Establishes an optimal Planning tailored to the patient's facial proportions and desired image.
- Post-Surgery Care Plan: Maximizes and maintains the Surgery effect through Lifting Treatment such as Ultherapy, Softwave, and Thermage.
Post-Surgery Change: The Illusion of Larger Eyes
Looking at photos taken one week after Surgery, Dr. Oh Myung-jun showed the patient a surprising change. Despite some swelling remaining, it was evident that the eyes appeared much larger than before. Dr. Oh Myung-jun once again clearly explained this phenomenon: "The size of the eyes themselves is the same. However, as the midface is reduced, the visual effect of the eyes appearing larger occurs."
In reality, people with small eyes do not necessarily need Surgery to make their eyes larger. In many cases, the overall facial proportions, especially the length of the midface and the degree of cheekbone protrusion, are the reasons why the eyes appear small. Dr. Oh Myung-jun emphasized that by addressing these proportional issues, it is possible to create much larger and clearer eyes without changing the eyes themselves. Surgery that considers facial harmony goes beyond simply changing one area, leading to a significant improvement in overall impression.
