Does the reduction of cheekbones definitely makes them smaller and thinner?

Hello, this is Faceline Plastic Surgery Clinic.
In order to be a small, slim face, which is often the standard for a pretty face shape, the entire face must be smooth without any protruding parts.
Many people are thinking about facial contouring surgery , which is a small and smooth improvement by cutting or trimming such protruding or large bones.

As interest in facial contouring increases, more and more hospitals are performing surgery, but it's not just dealing with bones, but it's also a high-level surgery that requires consideration of the surrounding blood vessels, nerves, muscles, fat, skin, and so on, so you have to consider more than other surgeries.

One of the facial contours, cheekbones reduction surgery, is an operation to improve the cheekbones corresponding to the median facial region.
The cheekbone is located in the center of the face and has a great influence on the image of the entire face.
If the cheekbones are too large or too developed, they are easy to give a masculine image and also look strong.

There are some things to consider when you want to get the results of an ideal cheekbone reduction.

First, the surgery plan should be well established. Because it is the center of the face, we should not just reduce the protruding and wide cheekbones, but also consider the overall outline of the face.
Surgical planning is usually based on X-RAY when performing facial bone surgery, but this changes the shape of the bone, which may differ from the actual amount of facial changes in the face.
Bones are attached to soft tissue such as muscle, fat, and skin, and the degree to which the soft tissue reacts to the bone is not uniform in all areas.
So, in order to achieve the ideal change, it is important to derive the actual amount of change in the face first, and then reversely consider the incision location, angle, bone movement, etc.
In other words, if you shorten it a lot, your face doesn't become small and slim as you expected. 

The second thing is to minimize the amount of sagging.
Usually, when the cheekbones are reduced, the bones are cut off in small increments, and the skin and other soft tissue around the bones remain intact. If you connect the cheekbones as much as you cut off the bones, the flesh on the deleted bones may remain and become droopy.
So rather than removing a lot of bones without any hesitation, reducing the amount of deletions and reducing the cheekbones as much as possible is the key to cheekbones reduction.

Faceline Plastic Surgery's Non-elimination lifting cheekbone reduction is a surgical method that compensates for the shortcomings of conventional cheekbones reduction and minimizes the risk of sagging.
In a way that does not remove bones, incision is made in the front and back, depending on the shape and size of the cheekbone, and then the incision is moved to the inner back and forth of the cheekbone.
Because the bone has not been removed, there is no skin left because the soft tissue does not separate from the bone, and when the cheekbone is fixed, it can be lifted up and fixed, minimizing ball loss.

Non-elimination lifting cheekbone reduction is not always a good surgery to reduce 
Because it improves the shape of the cheekbones in a more beautiful way, in a broad sense, the term "cheekbone plastic surgery" is more appropriate than "cheekbone reduction."

As the overall aesthetic of the face should be considered, it is an ideal way for plastic surgeons with extensive experience and know-how to develop surgery plans tailored to individual facial conditions rather than a uniform surgery plan to perform surgery considering the complex elements of the current face.
