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 Saggy Cheeks
Saggy cheeks are prevented by following the principles such as bone fixation, masticatory muscles-secured bones, and minimum dissection.
Accurate Diagnosis leading to successful results
Cheekbone has a complex 3-dimensional structure with other facial bone fragments around it. BK Plastic Surgery Hospital uses x-ray analysis and computer imaging to maximize the precision of operation.
