Cheekbone revision surgery: causes and methods
Looking at recent standards of beauty, balance and naturalness
are often emphasized, and when we look at the role of the cheekbones,
they can be seen as playing an important role in a person's impression,
because the impression can change depending on whether the cheekbones are large or small.
If the cheekbones are excessively prominent, the face may appear strong and forceful,
while if the cheekbones are too small, the face may appear weak.
In particular, the cheekbones support facial fat volume, expression muscles, skin, and more,
so among facial contouring procedures,
this is considered a delicate and highly difficult surgery, and depending on the surgeon's
level of expertise, the results can vary greatly.
In fact, patients who visit the clinic for cheekbone revision surgery
often complain of side effects such as minimal improvement, cheek sagging, cheek adhesion, or nerve paralysis.
There are patients who experience these concerns.
To help reduce the burden of revision surgery,
at Sinsa plastic surgery clinic Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we
identify and analyze in detail the causes requiring revision surgery,
and through customized revision solutions applicable to each cause,
we aim for ideal and harmonious results.
Facial contouring surgery changes the face shape itself
by shaving or removing facial bone, and as it has spread like a trend,
a small, slim face shape has come to be preferred for a youthful impression.
When the cheekbones protrude noticeably, cheekbone reduction surgery
is performed, but if the osteotomy positions differ on both sides
or excessive bone cutting is attempted, side effects such as facial asymmetry
may occur.
Cheekbone revision surgery is considered when the result after the first surgery
is unsatisfactory or when both sides of the face are asymmetrical.
Not only can functional and aesthetic problems occur,
but the burden felt by patients planning revision surgery
is also significant, so surgery must be performed carefully
through a thorough and accurate diagnosis.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we analyze the cause of failure,
accurately assess the bone structure, density, and current anatomy through 3D CT,
then design the face with harmonious proportions
to improve the problems, aiming for a smooth and refined
facial line.
The reason facial contouring revision surgery is especially difficult is that
the area has already undergone surgery with bone resection,
so when revision surgery is performed again, careful consideration and
This is because a precise diagnosis is required, and with an osteotomy approach,
patients undergoing revision after a previous surgery may have
a high risk of insufficient space for fixation, and issues that occurred during the first surgery,
including functional problems such as inflammation or nonunion,
must also be improved.
Even for the same cheekbone area, factors such as bone thickness and shape
mean that the surgical method varies depending on the patient’s condition.
Therefore, it is important to closely analyze the range of movement of the cheekbone
and perform the surgery by fixing the bone in the correct position.
Because this area plays a major role aesthetically,
it is advisable to minimize side effects and receive surgery from a surgeon
who can perform minimal dissection.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery in Sinsa,
to prevent surgical side effects such as nerve paralysis in the surgical area or accompanying pain,
we use 3D CT
to identify and plan around the nerve pathways before performing surgery,
and we also carry out the procedure
with even greater precision during the operation.
Cases that may require cheekbone revision surgery include
dissatisfaction with the results of facial contouring surgery,
an unnatural facial appearance after surgery,
or cases where the fixation pins placed in the bone
have not properly adhered, as well as other functional problems,
and similar concerns.
In contour revision surgery, it is essential to carefully consider
adequate access to and positioning of the resection area,
check the soft tissues in detail, and proceed with surgery
that restores a more natural and harmonious appearance while
improving the overall proportions.
These are the areas that require particular caution in contour revision surgery.
Facial contour revision surgery at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery in Sinsa
aims for natural improvement in cases where excessive bone resection was performed
during the primary surgery by using autologous tissue
to restore deficient bone, or by using 3D printing technology
to create a patient-specific implant tailored to the face.
In revision surgery, it is important to identify the fundamental cause
and continuously consider whether the surgical method
is truly appropriate for you.
You should seek a clinic where a surgeon with extensive anatomical knowledge
and rich clinical experience in revision surgery is present to perform the operation.
Only then can the problem areas be addressed and satisfying results be expected.
In the case of revision surgery, within 6 months after the first surgery,
it is difficult to accurately assess the current condition and surgical outcome,
so it is best to observe the surgical results for at least 6 months to 1 year,
then consult thoroughly with your surgeon to determine whether revision surgery is possible
and decide on the appropriate timing for surgery.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, through a detailed preoperative examination,
we closely analyze the current condition and provide one-on-one consultation
to find and plan a customized surgical method, while ensuring safety
through an enhanced system before proceeding with surgery.
After surgery, through postoperative care, we help minimize side effects, swelling, and bruising
and work toward satisfying results.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we not only design a soft and smooth
facial contour,
but also accurately diagnose the areas that need improvement for each individual patient
and perform revision surgery so the facial shape can be completed
in harmony with the facial features.
As more surgeries are being performed in pursuit of beauty,
the number of revision surgeries is also
gradually increasing, so we hope you will carefully review sufficient information
and consider your options thoroughly
when choosing a hospital for a satisfying revision surgery.
