Midface Surgery: The True Secret to a Smaller, Prettier Face

This YouTube video shows me in the consultation room, explaining the importance and effects of Midface Surgery to a patient. Many people want to make their faces smaller, but often approach it with incorrect methods, leading to counterproductive results. Through this video, we will explore the core principles of Midface Surgery and real-world examples in detail.

The Pitfalls of Incorrect Facial Reduction Attempts

The patient had previously tried various methods to make their face appear smaller. For example, they underwent Hair Removal to transplant more than 1 cm of hair to make their hair appear larger than their face, and even had Surgery to insert silicone into their ears to make them protrude. However, these procedures had no effect on making the face smaller; instead, they reportedly resulted in the face appearing larger.

"After the Surgery, didn't your face actually get bigger? Even if the 45-degree cheekbones were gone, your face would have become wider and broader. In fact, your face would have looked smaller when you had the 45-degree cheekbones."

This is a typical problem that can arise when only specific areas are addressed without considering the overall facial proportions. If the middle part of the face is large and only the outer parts are continuously enlarged, the face may appear larger due to an optical illusion. I diagnosed that the reason why the eyes did not get bigger despite many surgeries to make them appear larger was because the lower face was larger than the upper face.

Why Midface Surgery Is the Only Solution

So, what is the true way to make a face small and beautiful? I assert, "The only way to make your face smaller is through Midface Surgery." The key is to definitively reduce the middle part of the face to match the overall proportions. Manipulating the surrounding areas, such as transplanting hair or inserting cement into the ears, will never make the face smaller.

Midface Surgery not only reduces the width and length of the face to make it appear smaller but also has the effect of making the eyes appear larger and clearer. This is because as the central part of the face is reduced, the proportion of the eyes relatively increases.

Amazing Surgery Results: CT Analysis

The amazing changes can be confirmed through post-Surgery CT scans.

• Midface Reduction: The midface was perfectly reduced without any bone gaps.
• Cheekbone Reduction: The cheekbones were reduced by more than 15mm on each side, totaling over 30mm.
• Eye Size Change: The effect of the eyes appearing larger was achieved to the extent that it was described as "the midface has been reduced by more than half, so now only the eyes are visible."

These results are possible only when the Surgery is performed with a precise understanding of the anatomical structure and proportions of the face, and with delicate Design, beyond simply shaving bone.

Key Effects of Midface Surgery:

• Reduced Face Size: The overall width and length of the face are reduced, making the face appear smaller.
• Emphasized Eyes: As the midface is reduced, the eyes appear relatively larger and more refreshed.
• Improved Three-Dimensionality: The flat appearance of the face is improved, giving a more three-dimensional and refined impression.
• Youthful Effect: As the central part of the face is shortened, a younger appearance can be expected.

Successful Proportional Adjustment and the Future

In conclusion, this patient also successfully adjusted their proportions to make their midface smaller. After the Surgery, they even had the happy dilemma of "should I get Hair Removal for all the hair I had transplanted?" Of course, Hair Removal is a problem that can be easily solved with a laser.

Making a face small and pretty is not simply about reducing a specific area, but about achieving harmony and proportion for the entire face. Midface Surgery is one of the most effective and fundamental methods to achieve this goal.
