BK Plastic Surgery Hospital:

3D Cheekbone Reduction

3D Cheekbone reduction reduces overall facial size and refines facial contouring

by adjusting all cheekbone in all angles creating volume.

Merits of 3D Cheekbone reduction

-Beautiful facial Silhouette

Most Koreans (Asians) have flat faces with laterally prominent cheekbones,

which usually end up with rectangular shape

after typical cheekbone reduction is performed.

Therefore, cheekbone reduction is the most effective,

when anterior, lateral and 45 degree cheekbones are all fully considered.

-4 steps to prevent sagging cheeks

Sagging cheeks are prevented by following the principles

such as bone fixation, masticatory muscles- secured bones and minimal dissection.

 -Accurate Diagnosis

Cheekbone has a complex 3 dimensional structure

with other facial bone fragments around it.

BK hospital uses x-ray analysis and computer image

to maximize the precision of operation.

-Minimum Scar 

Making incisions inside mouth and sideburns area minimize a chance of scar visibility.
