Cheekbones are reduced by ‘cutting the cheekbones’?

In the past, parts of the cheekbones were cut or shaved to reduce in some cases. However, these methods are rarely used these days because of the limitation of amount or shape that can be reduced. Recently, the method of fixing the cheekbones after moving them to a new position and relocating is mainly used.

Facial skin might sag after face contouring surgery?

Face contouring surgery does not make the skin of the face unconditionally sag. It will be okay if you are younger and have good skin elasticity. However, if you are old or have poor skin elasticity, or if you have a lot of fat on your face even though you are young, you may experience little sagging. In those cases, minimizing the desquamation when performing the surgery is proper solution and also lifting treatment after surgery to improve elasticity are considerable.

The more bones cut, the smaller your face?

All face contouring surgery is not related to the amount of bones cut for smaller face or more effective result. If you cut more of the bones, it simply makes the bones smaller. There are soft tissues such as skin, fat, and muscles surrounding the bones, so surgery should be performed after deriving how much bone to be removed taking into account the maximum capacity that the soft tissues can react to. Only that way, the most suitable change for individual condition and safe & satisfactory surgical result can be achieved.

Is revision possible after face contouring surgery?

Many people think that revision is impossible after first face contouring surgery because it is an operation treating the bone. Face contouring surgery can be re-operated like other plastic surgery under the premise that there is no special abnormality such as inflammation at the surgical site. In the case of revision, the surgical goal should be set based on more precise and accurate diagnosis than the first operation. In particular, more careful approach and the experience of the surgeon through many revision cases are essential because the difficulty of the revision is high.
