After facial contouring surgery, while the cheekbones may appear narrower, the temple area might relatively protrude. This is because the temporalis muscle becomes more prominent as the cheekbones are reduced, making temple Botox effective for muscle reduction.
Furthermore, specialists strongly advise against liposuction for patients who feel they have excessive cheek fat and are considering it. At two months post-facial contouring surgery, swelling and skin contraction are not yet complete, so performing liposuction at this stage carries the risk of skin hardening and sagging.
In the past, there were no other options, but now, skin and fat can be effectively contracted through various energy devices such as fat-dissolving injections or HIFU lifting. Especially during the recovery process after facial contouring surgery, it is crucial to safely improve the skin with a device-based tightening program tailored to your skin, through collaborative care between dermatology and plastic surgery departments.
