Does the patient look older
after facial bone contouring surgery?
The reason for desiring a facial contour surgery is to soften and smoothen uneven facial lines.
A look of the actual face may often show a drooping cheek and chin, appearing older, even
after well-performed operation with respectable resultant CT images.
contouring surgery. We observed many incidences in which patients would often consider revision or lifting
surgery for this reason. A face, literally and metaphorically, is an expanded balloon for individuals in their early 20s.
Under these circumstances, the balloon may still be a blimp even after a slight deflation.Nevertheless, further
deflation of the balloon will result in a crumpled balloon. Excessive bone esection is not
desirable in facial bone contouring surgery.Considering the overall facial aesthetics
and/or surgical techniques, while keeping the healthy looking outcome in mind
is essential for an outstanding surgery.
What is Facial bone contouring with Rejuvenation at
Apgujeong YK Plastic Surgery Clinic?
Carrying out facial bone contouring procedures for the last fifteen years, we have had much
concern and research in finding facial approaches to looking young and pretty.
Informing patients of these effects have been a real joy! First, the foci of the face are organized by lifting/reduction of malarplasty, for which the malar bone,
located in the central aspects of the face, is resected and fixed. Then, square jaw surgery of the long curved cortical bone is carried out. The slim facial line
attained from square jaw surgery, together with the zygomatic arch (zygoma) that raises the masseter muscle, which originates from the zygomatic arch
and inserts onto the square jaw, lifts the lower face. Endoscopic forehead lift is carried out in the upper part of the temple to raise the soft tissues together,
thereby lifting the upper face. Consequently, the effect of increased overall lifting after surgery permits a younger look and more elastic face.

Facial bone contouring with Rejuvenation Method
Step1 Upper faceGO
Endoscopic Forehead Lift
Endoscopic Forehead Lift has the lifting effect from the temple area and improves the eyes, brows, and the well-defined eyes outline.
Step2 Mid-faceGO
Zygoma Reduction
Lifting-Zygoma Reduction minimizes droopiness after reduction of malarplasty, and improves the volume of the mid-face.
Step3 Lower faceGO
Square jaw surgery
Square jaw surgery of the long curved cortical bone results in a slim look both medially and laterally. Its synergistic effect with lifting-reduction of malarplasty avoids the excessive jaw line and allows a well-defined chin contour.
