Cheekbone surgery
How to reduce cheekbones?
Cheekbone reduction surgery, a type of facial contouring surgery... The biggest concern for people with unusually sized faces is how much they can reduce the size of their faces, and they are bound to wonder what surgical method will be effective.
It is usually expressed as shaving the cheekbones, but will shaving off the bones that make the face look bigger make it look smaller?
Absolutely not. You should know that it can actually make you look bigger.
If surgery is not performed on the premise that the size of a person's face does not change, it will result in expensive surgery and the tragedy of making the face appear wider.
1. Surgery to simply shave off the protruding part.
This method was performed in the past by doctors without knowledge and experience of facial contouring surgery when it was not popular, but it seems to be being performed frequently even recently. This method involves shaving off the raised cheekbones, which lowers the height but makes the face look fuller. Except in special cases, the effect of the procedure cannot be seen.
2. Surgery to lower the front part of the cheekbone.
As intraoral incisions become more common, surgery to cut the arch (back part) and front part of the cheekbone and push it back is becoming more common. For most people in Korea, the problem is more with the outside of the cheekbone. Although the height of the cheekbones has decreased after surgery, the face often continues to look spread out.
3. First, figure out which part of the cheekbones is causing the face to look bigger and focus on lowering only that part.
In the case of Koreans, the zygomatic arch is spread out, which makes the face look large and flat or fierce. This area needs to be cut out to see the true effect.
No more worries about cheekbones!!
Cheekbones that are too protruding or out of balance are also a big factor in damaging your appearance.
In the case of Western people, their facial features are clear, so even if their cheekbones protrude, it is not noticeable, but in the case of Asians, even if their cheekbones protrude even a little, they give a strong and strong impression. Also, there are quite a few middle-aged women who were fine when they were young, but as they age and lose cheek fat, their cheekbones look particularly high.
