[Health Column] 230-degree stereoscopic zygomatic reduction surgery: What's the difference from conventional zygomatic surgery?

 

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see.

 

Every time I look in the mirror Protruding cheekbones Aren't there a lot of people stressed out because of this?

"I want to get surgery to make myself smaller, but I'm too scared of bone cutting." I hear this a lot in the clinic.

 

The burden of general anesthesia, concerns about pin fixation, and a long recovery period For those of you who are worried and hesitant,

Today, I will explain about the '230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery' that reduces the burden of surgery while creating smooth lines.

 

 

 

Why was 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery introduced?

📌 The Shift in Trends: From "Big Bone Cuts" to "Precise Trimming"

 

past There are many patients whose cheekbones themselves are very developed. '3D clavicle reduction surgery' that boldly cuts and moves bones This was common.

 

But patients visiting hospitals these days are a little different.

 

Rather than cases where the bone needs to be cut out significantly, A 'smoothing-focused' case that wants to smooth out uneven lines. There are a lot more.

 

Patients' needs have changed, so surgical methods cannot remain the same.

 

So I thought about it.

 

✔️ Is general anesthesia absolutely necessary?
✔️ Is it really necessary to remove a large amount of bone?
✔️ Is it possible to achieve results while reducing the burden?

 

 

A method to create the slim line you want while reducing the burden of major problems such as general anesthesia or oral incisions. The technique designed to do this is called ‘230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery.’

 

 

 

 

 

How exactly is 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery performed?

📌Using shaving technology and cheekbone 'elasticity', it precisely reduces only the necessary area.

 

Many people wonder what the difference is between the 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery and the 'quick reduction surgery'.

 

commonly Quick zygomatic reduction surgery It literally means to operate quickly, mainly excluding 45 degree angles. side clown only It is often dealt with.

In this case, there are many cases where the 45-degree wide angle is not improved, resulting in low satisfaction, or where patients end up considering reoperation with 3D wide angle reduction surgery.

 

 

the other side, 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery It is as simple as a quick reduction surgery, but it is also a lot of work. Solve up to 45 degree angles together There is a big difference in that they do it.

• 45 degree angle (under eye): Without cutting the bone completely Partial osteotomy Only then do the protruding part. Shaving So it grinds smoothly . approximately A reduction effect of about 2~3mm You can see it, and you can expect a slimness that is comparable to that of a real 3D reduction surgery.

• Side cheekbones (in front of ears): After slightly separating the bones, push them inward like a drawer to reduce the overall width of the face.

💡 Wait! People like this, be careful! 

if The 45 degree cheekbone itself If it is very large and thick Ramen, shaving techniques alone may not be effective, so a traditional '3D face reduction surgery' may be more suitable. Before surgery Accurate diagnosis through CT scan This is essential no see.

 

 

 

Fixed pins, do I really need them? What's the difference?

📌You can choose according to the patient's condition and preference.

 

Because the 230-degree stereoscopic implant does not cut out the entire bone, there is a wide range of options for bone fixation methods.

 

In fact, the selection ratio of my patients is also very diverse.

• Non-fixed (33%) : Wait for natural adhesion without pins. Preferred by those sensitive to foreign substances.

• Titanium pins (33%) : It is fixed as firmly as possible (as seen on the X-ray).

• Melting Pin (33%) : Over time, it is absorbed into the body and disappears (not visible on X-rays).

👨‍⚕️ Tip from Director Hyunwoo Jo: Even though the results after surgery are the same, the bones harden quickly. If you are concerned about your bones not healing after surgery , Pin it I would recommend a little more. However, through sufficient consultation, you can choose the method that is right for you.

A3. Hair at the incision site falls out and then It starts growing again after 2 months do.
