Zygoma Revision Surgery: Customized to Sculpt Your Ideal Face Shape
For a long time, I was concerned about my protruding cheekbones and facial asymmetry. In particular, I was stressed by how wide my cheekbones looked when viewed from the front, and how long my mid-face appeared. After seeing a photo of a famous influencer online, I wanted to achieve that kind of face shape, so I visited O.N Clinic. In the Consultation Room, Dr. Oh Myung-jun saw the photo I brought and, to my surprise, told me that the person in the photo was a patient he had performed Surgery on. Dr. Oh began a precise analysis, comparing my face with the influencer's face in the photo.
Cheekbone Revision Surgery: Design Beyond Simple Reduction
Dr. Oh Myung-jun looked at my face and explained the position of my cheekbones based on my eye sockets (orbital bones). The influencer in the photo had cheekbones positioned inward, giving a soft impression, whereas my problem was that my cheekbones protruded, making my face look wide. Dr. Oh presented a Planning that would not only reduce the cheekbones but also narrow them inward, achieving a mid-face reduction effect. I had high expectations, especially when he mentioned that severely wide cheekbone asymmetry could also be improved. I felt deep trust as he clearly explained what changes I could expect after Surgery, showing me my bone structure in detail through 3D CT images.
The Importance of Soft Tissue Management After Bone Surgery
When I revisited the clinic for my 3-month post-Surgery follow-up, Dr. Oh looked at my face and expressed satisfaction, saying, "The progress is excellent." The CT scan confirmed that the bone cut lines had perfectly fused, and I could see that my face shape had improved to what I desired. However, Dr. Oh said that this was not the end. He emphasized that while the bone structure was complete, for a natural and smooth facial line like the influencer's, the skin needed to adhere closely to the bone structure. I asked if a facelift was necessary, but Dr. Oh firmly stated that it was not needed at all.
"A facelift pulls the sideburn area, but for you, the mid-face needs to contract. A facelift won't lift this area even if you pull it. It's much more effective to contract it multiple times with appropriate device treatments tailored to you."
The Need for Personalized Skin Procedures
This is when I understood why the dermatology department at O.N Clinic specializes in Post-Contour Lifting. Dr. Oh explained that Ultherapy would not be suitable for my face. He said that Ultherapy and Thermage are not always the best options, and it's crucial to choose the most appropriate procedure based on each individual's facial characteristics and post-Surgery condition.
- Areas requiring skin contraction: Thermage, Sofwave for tightening
- Areas with fat accumulation: Fat Dissolving Injection to dissolve fat and slim the area
Dr. Oh Myung-jun personally provided the Design for the necessary areas, and the dermatologist then performed Thermage and Sofwave procedures based on that Design. Typically, good results can be seen by receiving treatments about once every 3-4 months, for a total of about 3 sessions. Thanks to this system, which meticulously manages both bone and soft tissue after Surgery, I was able to achieve even more satisfying results.
