Revision Facial Contouring Surgery

Revision Facial Contouring Surgery analyzes the causes of failure in the initial surgery through precise diagnostics such as 3D-CT and corrects them with a revision plan tailored to the cause of each type, including cheekbones, Jaw Angle, and a weak chin. The goal is to create a natural Facial Contouring Surgery line by removing only the minimum amount of bone necessary and addressing issues such as nonunion, cheek sagging, and secondary angles.

By accurately identifying the causes of the initial surgery, we create a natural line.

“Secondary angles, an unnatural appearance, asymmetry...” Can this surgery avoid failure? Opera’s Facial Contouring Surgery specialists, who have performed revision cases for many years, precisely analyze the causes of failure in the initial surgery and provide a revision plan and procedure appropriate to the cause to help prevent further revision surgery.

Causes and Correction Methods for Each Type of Revision Surgery

01. Cheekbone Revision Surgery

Causes · No noticeable change before and after surgery · The front cheekbone has been moved excessively, resulting in depression · Improper bone fixation causes pain or a sensation of bone movement when touched · Cheek sagging or skin laxity has developed Correction Methods · If the amount of bone removal was insufficient, 3D-CT is used to determine how much additional bone can be removed, followed by revision surgery within the range that can be safely improved. · In cases of nonunion where the bone has not healed properly, double fixation is used, and superior fixation helps prevent cheek sagging and skin laxity. · Depending on the symptoms, sagging may also be improved with procedures such as lifting laser treatment.

02. Jaw Angle Revision Surgery

Causes · The frontal result is less noticeable than the side profile result · An unnatural appearance due to excessive bone removal (dog-like jaw) · The Jaw Angle line is not smooth and feels angular or uneven (secondary angle) · No difference before and after surgery · Asymmetry Correction Methods · If there is no noticeable change before and after surgery, diagnostic evaluation is used to determine how much additional bone can be removed, followed by customized surgery within the range that can be improved. · If excessive bone removal is the cause, insufficient volume is restored using bone cement, Implant, or other materials to reconstruct a natural line.

03. Weak Chin Revision Surgery

Causes · The chin shape appears awkward because the Implant size is unsuitable · The inserted Implant shifts or becomes visible through the skin · Chin advancement surgery was performed, but the before-and-after effect was minimal Correction Methods · For Implant revision surgery, the existing Implant is removed and a customized Implant is made for revision surgery. If the skin has become thin, Autologous Tissue such as Fat Grafting or a Dermal Graft is placed over the Implant for added coverage. · For chin advancement surgery, revision surgery is performed to reposition it appropriately.
