This video shows the consultation process for a cheekbone revision surgery for a patient whose face became wide and severely asymmetrical after a previous cheekbone surgery. The doctor explains that the patient's face has lost its three-dimensionality and appears wide from the front due to the prior surgery. Specifically, a CT scan reveals that the right cheekbone is more flared out than the left, indicating severe asymmetry.
The surgical goal is to reduce the midface and bring the flared-out cheekbones inward to create a straight line. This aims to reduce the inner space of the face and make the overall face smaller and more three-dimensional. After the surgery, the patient can expect their eyes to appear larger and their face to be more centered. The core of this surgery is to perfectly correct the patient's asymmetry and create a harmonious facial appearance.
