“How Cheekbone Reduction is performed?” – The article was based on a consultation of Dr. Park Sung Yong – a leading advisor at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital.
What is Cheekbone Reduction?
Cheekbone Reduction surgery is a laparoscopic cosmetic procedure that is performed by applying advanced equipment and technology reform and reducing “prominent” cheekbones in order to help women achieve a softer image, etc.,
Who should and shouldn’t undergo Cheekbone Reduction Surgery?
Despite being a cosmetic surgery that enhances face contour as well as an overall appearance, reshaping cheekbones is not an approach for all.
Treatment indications:
Patients over 18 would like to improve their appearance
People have excessively prominent cheekbones, resulting in asymmetrical facial contours.
Damaged cheekbone from accident or illness
Contraindications
People under 18 with not fully-developed cheekbone structure
People who are either mentally unstable or have severe illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, hemophilia
How is cheekbone reduction performed?
1. Pre-operative examination
The pre-operative examination is an extremely important step as this test determines whether patients are eligible to undergo the planned procedure. If qualified, CT scanning for the face and skull is conducted to evaluate the customer’s facial bone structure.
Based on the results of the medical screening image and clinical examination, the doctor will discuss with the patient their facial condition as well as the most suitable procedure, bringing out the optimal result.
When the customer has had enough information about the planned surgery, the medical record and the customer’s personal profile will be set up between the two parties before heading to the operation room for cheekbone reduction surgery.
2. Proceed with the surgery
Currently, there are many different methods of cheekbone reduction surgery, but if you choose to get this service at Gangwhoo cosmetic hospital, the surgical procedure will take place as follows:
- Firstly, Analyze the customer’s facial bone structure and choose the most suitable method
- Secondly, facial proportions are assessed with the assistance of a high-tech skeletal evaluation machine
- Then, your surgeon decides the amount of cheekbone that has to be “trimmed” based on the parameters produced by the evaluation machine.
- Finally, your surgeon will set up the Aesculap – a specialized machine for bone reduction- to properly trim the customer’s cheekbone, bringing the most satisfying result.
3. Follow-up care
After the surgery, patients will be discharged from the hospital after the final examination of the result and their health condition
At home, patients have to take care of the wound as per the instructions given by their surgeon, for example, wearing face compression bandages, cleaning and taking care of the wound, using prescribed medicine properly, frequently nutrition intake, etc.,
The better the follow-up care is performed, the higher chance of achieving the best results. Apart from it, this also prevents patients from possible dangerous complications after surgery.
Possible complications
Cheek reduction is major cosmetic surgery, so, if improper operative care is conducted or in case, this surgery is performed in an accredited cosmetic facility or if improper post-operative care, patients may have the following complications:
- Wound infection, purulent drainage, or even necrosis of the wound due to inadequate sterility or poor postoperative care.
- Cheek sagging- this complication often is caused by excessive skin dissection
- Possible dangerous complications may occur, in the worst cases, anaphylaxis, or fatality due to an error in medication prescription.
