3D facial contouring, zygoma reduction, square jaw correction, chin augmentation, and double-jaw surgery.
- Zygoma (cheekbone) reduction
Zygoma (cheekbone) reduction at Thank You Plastic Surgery addresses prominent cheekbones that widen the midface, a common concern for patients searching cheekbone reduction Gangnam who want a softer front and profile view.
Surgical approach varies depending on how much the bone protrudes and how much soft tissue sits over it; the surgeon explains incision sites — usually inside the mouth to avoid visible external scarring — along with the fixation method used to hold the repositioned bone and the amount of narrowing that can realistically be achieved. Facial nerve and vascular anatomy near the cheekbone are carefully mapped during planning.
Recovery typically involves swelling, some temporary numbness, and a soft diet for the first period after surgery; oral hygiene around the internal incision matters for reducing infection risk. Because facial bones settle gradually, the final narrowed contour becomes clearer over two to three months as swelling resolves.
- Square jaw correction
Square jaw correction at Thank You Plastic Surgery softens an angular lower face, and the approach depends on whether the squareness comes mainly from masseter muscle bulk, mandibular angle bone, or a combination of both — a distinction the surgeon confirms during consultation.
When the cause is primarily muscular, options range from Botox to relax the masseter (a temporary, non-surgical choice) to surgical reduction of the muscle itself; when the bone is the main driver, mandibular angle reduction reshapes the jaw angle directly, often combined with chin work to balance the whole lower face. Imaging helps confirm which structures are contributing before any bone surgery is planned.
Bone-based correction carries a longer recovery than muscular treatment, with swelling, temporary numbness, and a soft diet expected in the first weeks; compression garments may be used per the surgeon's protocol. Botox-based square jaw treatment has minimal downtime but needs repeat sessions every several months to maintain the effect.
