3 Months Post-Zygoma Revision Surgery: A Patient's Amazing Transformation
It was time to check on the 3-month progress of a patient who underwent zygoma revision surgery at On Clinic. As soon as the patient entered the consultation room, they expressed their joy, exclaiming, "My face has truly become as small as a fist!" I was also satisfied with the patient's transformation and reminded them of my promise during the initial consultation to make their face smaller.
The patient expressed high satisfaction with the surgical results, mentioning that friends they hadn't seen in a while told them, "Your eyes look longer and bigger." As the face became overall smaller, the features appeared more defined and harmonious.
Surgical Result Analysis: CT Scans and Before-and-After Photos
We confirmed the fusion status of the patient's cheekbones through their CT scan results. The osteotomy lines, which were clearly visible 3 months ago, were now almost completely fused, indicating the successful completion of the surgery. Many people mistakenly believe that hair transplantation or 'elf ear' surgery alone can make the face smaller, but in reality, fundamental changes in facial size can be achieved through facial contouring surgery.
Comparing the before-and-after photos, the patient's face became overall shorter and narrower, transforming into a much smaller and more youthful impression. In particular, the changes of bigger eyes and a more defined nose centered the face, completing a more sophisticated image.
"Many people think that hair transplantation or 'elf ear' surgery makes the face smaller, but it absolutely does not. The face has become shorter! Can you see how much bigger the eyes are? Do you notice the nose is more defined?"
On Clinic's Comprehensive Post-Operative Care
Post-operative care is also crucial. We recommended customized lifting procedures, considering the patient's current skin condition and future goals.
- Laser Hair Removal: To refine the hairline created by hair transplantation, creating a neater impression.
- Ulthera & Thermage: To improve skin elasticity that may sag after facial contouring surgery and maximize the lifting effect.
- Botox: Can be used for fine wrinkle improvement or volume adjustment in specific areas, if needed.
On Clinic specializes in post-facial contouring lifting, establishing the most effective treatment plan tailored to each patient's individual condition. While lifting procedures might be available elsewhere, our clinic provides optimal lifting solutions integrated with contouring surgery, leading to even more satisfying results.
