How to prevent sagging cheeks after the cheekbone reduction? 

Various methods of cheekbone reduction

Hi, This is Faceline ps clinic.
There is a question my patients ask when they visit us for the cheekbone reduction. 
Many people ask how to minimize and prevent the sagging of the skin.

Theoretically and empirically, a way to minimize sagging cheeks is depends on surgical methods. 
Although it is important to select a surgical method that fits the patient's condition, the degree of sagging may vary depending on the surgical method.

Let me explain some of the most representative surgical methods known.
For convenience, I will call the 45-degree cheeks and side cheeks as a “body” and “arch”, respectively.

1. L-shaped osteotomy 

L-shaped osteotomy is literally an L-shaped incision. A surgical method is cutting the front 45 cheekbones into an L shape and pushed them backwards. 

Although it is similar to I-shaped osteotomy, the advantage of L-shaped incision is that it prevents the cut cheekbones from drooping down from the longitudinal ablation line of the I-shaped incision, which can be held steady, and the raised 45-degree cheeks can be pushed back.

2. I-shaped osteotomy 
I-shaped osteotomy, also known as a straight incision, is a form of cutting bones removing it, The I-shaped bone is pushed back into the inner part.
I-shaped osteotomy is often fixed with wires and sometimes non-fixed.
It's as important to hold the bones as well as the fixation, but non-fixed methods may not be suitable for active people.

3. II shaped osteotomy
you all know that there is a high chance that the skin that has been removed from a cheeks will become sagging. The II shaped osteotomy is a method of removing the fractured part by cutting it by 4 to 7mm in order to have an effect in the event of a high protrusion of the arch and body.
However, the more the cheekbones move inward, the more likely it is that the flesh of the deleted bone will fall.

There are many advantages to using L-shaped osteotomy. Since we can add rigidity to the fixation while minimizing sagging cheeks, Faceline combines our own know-how to perform Non-elimination Cheekbone reductions.

It's hard to say that any of the surgical procedures I've described is the best. Because there are pros and cons of each I think it would be best to have a 1:1 consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily. In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays. The most representative procedure is lifting laser. Lifting laser is a direct examination of high-intensity focused ultrasonography (HIFU) to the peritoneal layer in line with current skin condition, soft tissue and degree o...

Director Lee Jin-soo's Essay 41 - The Secret of Beautiful Profile Unfamiliar to the General Public (feat: Height Difference of Lips)

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
