Cheekbone Reduction Surgery Method

STEP 1.

At id Hospital, we use 3D-CT scans to determine the optimal amount and location of bone cuts for the best results, while avoiding damage to the facial nerves.

STEP 2.

With our diagonal osteotomy technique, we move a larger portion of the cheekbone toward the back and side, delivering visible results from every angle.

STEP 3.

The titanium fixation pins developed by id Hospital minimize gaps in the cut bone, helping to prevent sagging and ensure stable bone healing.

Square Jaw Surgical Method

Curved-Line Mandibular Angle Resection

Remove the maximum volume of the jawbone from the ear and mandibular angle to the front chin in a gentle curved line, creating a smooth and natural jawline without angularity or an unnatural appearance.

Cortical Bone
Resection

Remove the outer cortical bone of the jaw to perfect overall facial proportions, creating a slimmer and more refined look not only from the side but also from the front view.

Masseter Muscle Reduction

Reduce the size of enlarged and overdeveloped masseter muscles to create a slimmer jawline through muscle reduction surgery.

*Additional costs may apply for these procedures.

Buccal Fat,
Fat Removal

Improve sagging facial contour by removing buccal fat pads and subcutaneous fat from the deep cheek area, resulting in a more defined and slimmer facial line.

*Additional costs may apply for these procedures.

Chin Reduction Surgery Methods

Chin tip is blunt and wide

Cut in a T-shape, remove the central bone segment, and bring the remaining sides together to make the chin narrower.

Chin tip is long and makes the face look long

Cut in a sandwich shape to reduce both the length and width of the chin tip.

Chin is short and blunt

Extend the chin bone without implants to achieve proper proportions.

Bite is normal but the chin tip is asymmetrical

Cut and move the asymmetrical portion of the lower chin bone to the proper position.

A

Normally, in case of mini v-line surgery and cheekbone reduction surgery, it is possible to get discharged the same day according to the patient’s condition. However, it is necessary to confirm the state of the patient after waking up from anesthesia and proper disinfection of the surgical area. Admission is preferable. 2 to 3 days after surgery, it is possible to resume normal activities (please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital). Major level of swelling and bruises may last for 3 to 5 weeks, and minor swelling lasts from 3 to 6 months. It is recommended that you wash your mouth frequently with mouthwash after surgery and avoid hot or spicy foods because they may irritate the surgical site. It is also recommended that about two weeks after surgery, you start mouth exercises to widen the jaw, and help the nerves heal faster by using those exercises.

A

Generally, you can be discharged on the same day for cheekbone reduction surgery. In many cases, patients who undergoes surgery in the morning, can wake up from anesthesia and return home alone in the afternoon. However, when going home, do not bend your head or bow down when sleeping. It is good for decreasing your swelling and pain, and use of a fluffy pillow to support yourself in an upright position is advised. (please read your post-surgery manual given to you at the Hospital)

A

First of all, it is important to accurately analyze the shape of the cheekbones before surgery. It is necessary to consult with a clinician who has a lot of clinical experiences based on the results of X-ray and 3D-CT. At surgery, cheekbones are shaved based on the diagnosis. Depending on the skin elasticity of the person, an additional lifting procedure may also be recommended so the tissues are lifted together to give a lifting effect.

A

The facial bones do not grow after the growth period is over. In addition, cheekbone reduction surgery is a procedure in which the protruding cheekbone itself is moved inward and fixed to a new position, so you can rest assured that the cheekbones size will not increase again after surgery.

A

In case of cheekbone reduction surgery where your bone is completely cut, pins are needed to tightly fix the skin tissue and muscles and make them heal faster between the bones. This procedure equally happens with the other facial contouring surgeries too. Three months after the surgery, the bone is fully healed and firmly bonded as before the operation.

A

The pins are made of metals for surgery and treatment. It’s the same material used for teeth implants, causing no harm to the human body so removal is up to your personal choice. It does not matter if you go through an airport search or CT or MRI.

A

T-osteotomy is a method that is used to cut the chin bone in a T-shape, gathering the edges of resected chins pieces back together, which are secured with titanium pins. Square jaw reduction surgery can be done together which gives a natural V-shaped face.
