Facial contouring

Treatment Results

- Short-term results: Immediate changes in facial contour are visible right after surgery. For example, after the swelling subsides, the face will appear narrower and softer to some extent.

- Long-term results: As wounds fully heal and tissues recover, facial contours become more natural and aesthetically pleasing, improving facial proportions and enhancing overall facial beauty, making one look younger and more refined.

Is This Right for Me?

Recommended for the following groups:

• Individuals with abnormal facial skeletal development, such as overly prominent cheekbones or an excessively wide jaw angle, resulting in an unappealing facial contour.
• Those with excessive facial fat accumulation, leading to a puffy appearance and lack of facial definition.
• People who have high aesthetic standards for their facial contour and wish to improve their facial appearance through cosmetic surgery.

However, the following groups are not suitable candidates:

• Individuals suffering from severe diseases of vital organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, who cannot tolerate surgery.
• Those with mental illnesses or psychological disorders who hold unrealistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
• Individuals with active infections or unhealed skin conditions on their face.

Price

The price of facial contouring surgery varies significantly depending on the procedure:

- Non-surgical procedures: Such as Botox injections for face slimming, typically range from 500,000 to 30,000,000 Korean won, depending on the brand, dosage, and injection site.

- Surgical procedures: Operations like mandibular angle osteotomy and zygoma reduction are more expensive, generally costing between 10,000,000 to 150,000,000 Korean won. The complexity of the surgery, the hospital's level, and the surgeon's experience all influence the final price.

Reasonable expectations for surgical outcomes should be set based on your individual facial foundation and specific circumstances. While the results may not perfectly match those of celebrities or models, significant improvements can be achieved relative to your natural features.

Before surgery, the physician will conduct facial measurements and analysis, discuss the procedure with the patient, and develop a personalized surgical plan to ensure the patient understands the potential outcomes.

Combined Therapy

To achieve better facial contouring results, combined therapy is sometimes employed. For instance, in patients with wide facial bones accompanied by fat accumulation, bone surgery can be performed first, followed by facial liposuction or injectable fillers to further refine facial contours.

Combined therapy requires the physician to conduct a comprehensive assessment and design based on the patient's specific condition to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

Side Effects and Complications

Surgical Procedures: Potential complications include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, facial asymmetry, and skin laxity. Nerve damage may lead to facial sensory abnormalities and unnatural facial expressions; facial asymmetry can affect aesthetics and may require corrective surgery.

Non-Surgical Procedures: Botox injections for facial slimming may cause localized swelling, pain, and bruising; in severe cases, they can result in facial muscle weakness and unnatural smiling. Dermal filler injections may cause allergic reactions, nodules, or displacement.

Contraindications for the Procedure

In addition to the groups previously mentioned, women should avoid facial contouring surgery during menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

Medications such as anticoagulants may affect surgical safety; therefore, patients must inform their surgeon beforehand, who will then determine whether medication adjustments are necessary.

Aside from the unsuitable populations mentioned earlier, women should avoid facial contouring surgery during menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

Taking certain medications, such as anticoagulants, may affect the safety of the procedure. Patients must inform their doctor beforehand so that the physician can determine whether medication adjustment is necessary.

Side Effects

In addition to the side effects and complications mentioned above, some minor side effects may occur, such as postoperative swelling, pain, and bruising, which typically resolve on their own after a period of time. However, if severe side effects arise, such as persistent high fever or intense pain, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

You can initially assess whether there are facial contour issues by observing your facial features:

- From the front, check if your face appears overly wide or disproportionate; from the side, evaluate whether the facial lines are smooth and whether there are noticeable protrusions or depressions.

- Additionally, pay attention to the movement of facial muscles, such as whether the masseter muscles are overly developed. However, self-diagnosis should only serve as a reference; the final diagnosis and treatment plan must be determined by a qualified medical professional.
