How is 230-degree 3D Cheekbone Reduction Surgery different from conventional cheekbone surgery?

 

hello. Dr. Hyun-woo Cho, Chief Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see.

 

Every time I look in the mirror Protruding cheekbones Many of you are stressed because of this, aren't you?

I want to have surgery to get smaller, but I'm too scared of having my bone shaved. I hear that a lot in the consulting room.

 

Burden of general anesthesia, concerns about pin fixation, long recovery period For those who are hesitating due to this concern,

Today, I will explain '230-Degree 3D Cheekbone Reduction Surgery,' which reduces the burden of surgery while creating smooth lines.

 

 

 

Why was 230-degree 3D cheekbone reduction surgery developed?

📌 Shift in Trend: From 'Large Bone Cuts' to 'Precise Trimming'

 

past There are many patients with very significantly developed cheekbones, '3D Cheekbone Reduction Surgery' that boldly cuts and moves the bone This was common.

 

However, patients visiting the hospital recently are a little different.

 

Rather than cases where significant bone grafting is required, A 'refining-focused' case where you want to smooth out uneven lines There are many more.

 

Patients' needs have changed, so surgical methods shouldn't 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 desire while reducing the significant burden of general anesthesia or incisions inside the mouth. What was devised for this purpose is the '230-degree 3D cheekbone reduction surgery'.

 

 

 

 

 

How exactly is 230-degree 3D cheekbone reduction surgery performed?

📌 Utilizing shaving techniques and the 'elasticity' of the cheekbones, it precisely reduces only the necessary area.

 

Many people wonder what the difference is between 230-degree 3D cheekbone reduction surgery and 'quick cheekbone reduction surgery'.

 

commonly Quick Cheekbone Reduction Surgery It literally means performing surgery quickly, mainly excluding the 45-degree cheekbone. side cheekbones only There are many cases where it is handled.

In this case, there are many instances where satisfaction is low because the 45-degree cheekbones are not improved, or where patients eventually consider revision surgery with 3D cheekbone reduction.

 

 

the other side, 230-degree 3D cheekbone reduction surgery It is as simple as quick cheekbone reduction surgery, yet for those with many concerns Solving up to the 45-degree cheekbones together There is a significant difference in that it does so.

• 45-degree cheekbone (under the eye): Without cutting the bone completely Partial osteotomy Only perform the procedure. Afterwards, the protruding area Shaving Then, grind it smoothly. . approximately Reduction effect of about 2~3mm You can see this, and in terms of actual visual results, you can expect a slimness comparable to that of authentic 3D cheekbone reduction surgery.

• Side cheekbones (in front of the ears): After slightly separating the bone, push it deep inside like sliding a drawer to reduce the overall width of the face.

💡 Wait! Please be careful if you fall into these categories! 

if The 45-degree cheekbone itself In the case of very large and thick Since ramen or shaving techniques alone may not be effective, traditional '3D cheekbone reduction surgery' may be more suitable. Therefore Before surgery Accurate diagnosis through CT scan This is essential no see.

 

 

 

Is the fixing pin absolutely necessary? What is the difference?

📌 You can select based on the patient's condition and preference.

 

Since the 230-degree 3D cheekbone is not a method that involves cutting the entire bone, there is a wide range of options for bone fixation methods.

 

In fact, the choice rates of my patients are also very diverse.

• Non-fixed (33%) : We wait for natural adhesion without pins. It is preferred by those sensitive to foreign substances.

• Titanium pin (33%) : It provides the tightest fixation. (Visible on X-ray)

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

👨‍⚕️ Director Jo Hyun-woo's Tip: Even if the post-operative results are the same, because the bone hardens quickly If you are worried about the bone not healing after surgery , Pin fixation We tend to recommend that slightly more. However, you can choose the method that suits you best through sufficient consultation.
