from 800,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
This is a cheekbone reduction procedure in which excessively prominent zygomatic bone is resected as needed and then rotated and repositioned inward to create cheekbone volume proportionate to the facial contours. The anterior and lateral cheekbones are doubly fixated to help prevent nonunion and cheek sagging. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1 hour.
Surgery Overview
3D Cheekbone Rotation Surgery is a Cheekbone Reduction procedure that removes the necessary amount of the front and lateral cheekbones according to facial proportions, then rotates and moves the front cheekbone inward to reduce overall volume. It aims to prevent nonunion and cheek sagging by using dual fixation of the front and lateral cheekbones and superior fixation of the lateral cheekbone.
Appropriately corrects cheekbone volume while considering facial proportions. Excessively protruding cheekbones are appropriately resected, repositioned, and fixed to improve cheekbone volume in harmony with facial proportions and create a slim facial contour.
Cheekbones should naturally have an appropriate amount of volume to look attractive.
An attractive facial shape has an appropriate amount of cheekbone volume and flows smoothly from the hairline to the chin line, creating a natural and refined appearance. Conversely, excessively removing and pushing back the cheekbones through Cheekbone Reduction surgery can create an older or gaunt-looking impression. Opera's Cheekbone Reduction surgery determines the appropriate cheekbone volume through a multifaceted assessment of the Soft Tissue surrounding the cheekbones, skin thickness, anatomical structure, and facial shape.
Features of Opera's 3D Cheekbone Rotation Surgery
· Resection of only the necessary amount of front and lateral cheekbone to prevent nonunion · Appropriate cheekbone volume suited to facial proportions · Dual fixation to prevent cheek sagging · A facial contour that flows smoothly from the Forehead to the chin · A natural, slim facial shape from the side, 45-degree angle, and front
Stable dual fixation helps prevent nonunion and cheek sagging.
Before surgery → After surgery (CT) Opera's 3D Cheekbone Rotation Surgery rotates and moves the cheekbone inward to provide dual fixation of the front and lateral cheekbones. The lateral cheekbone is fixed upward to prevent cheek sagging and create a stable cheekbone structure, resulting in natural volume. ※ If nonunion occurs due to an insufficient surgical technique or improper surgical planning, the bone segments may fail to unite and separate, causing a sensation of bone movement, pain, and cheek sagging. Thorough surgical planning and an experienced surgeon are therefore required.
