What is Facial Contouring
Facial contouring surgery modifies the shape, length, and ratio of the face by adjusting
the face's bony structure. It can also correct asymmetry and facial disharmony without bite adjustment.
Facial contouring surgery includes cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction and genioplasty.
Depending on the patient’s facial features, and conditions, Facial liposuction,
facelift, and sunken cheek correction are the procedures that may be recommended with facial contouring surgery to create a synergistic effect.
Braun doctors are a board-certified plastic surgeons in
Seoul, South Korea.
They are skilled and experienced doctor with good reputation in Korea.

Braun’s Revision facial Contouring Surgery
Revision surgery after the first contour surgery varies greatly.
Depending on the patient, it could vary from only making minor corrections to more extreme cases which could be more complicated and complex.
It requires a lot of experience and advanced surgical techniques to create safe and effective results through accurate analysis and surgical planning for various cases,
such as scar tissue caused by the first surgery, severe adhesions between bone and periosteum and muscles, possibility of bleeding,
possibility of nerve damage, possibility of inflammation, over excision of bone, resorption of bone, etc.
Braun Plastic Surgery accurately diagnoses each individual's current bone condition through 3D CT and panoramic view X-RAY examination,
and Dr. Kim Tae-Gyu, the world's leading facial contouring surgery authority with 15 years of experience, performs safe and effective contour revision surgery.
Dr. Kim Tae-Gyu has been developing safe and effective surgical methods that improve the side effects of existing surgical methods through numerous experiences and research for a long time.
In 2009, he invented his own method called the inverted V-shaped osteotomy that improved the disadvantages of the existing T-shaped osteotomy in genioplasty, and also in 2010, he invented the 3D rotation-lifting cheekbone rotation technique that improves the complications and limitation of the existing L-shaped osteotomy in cheekbone surgery.
These methods have been published in the prestigious plastic surgery journals such like 'The Journal of Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery (PRS)' and 'The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery,' as well as have been presented several times at the International Conference of Plastic Surgeons and won academic awards.
Furthermore, revision facial contouring surgery should be able to solve skin problems because there are many cases of skin sagging, depression, irregularity, and bulging as well as bone problems as a result of the first operation. Along with revision facial contouring surgery, face lift and facial liposuction procedures are used at Braun to achieve safe and effective surgical results not only for bone problems, but also for skin problems.

Candidates for Revision Cheekbone Surgery
The biggest reason for revision cheekbone surgery is ineffective cases due to incorrect surgeries.
Among revision facial contouring surgeries, cheekbone revision surgery is the most complicated and difficult operation.
Cheekbone revision surgery is very important to identify an accurate surgical plan according to the condition of the bone,
such as the position of the osteotomy line and screws and plates, the amount of bone remaining, the degree of firmness, and the presence or absence of nonunion.
Furthermore, because there are so many cases of skin problems,
such as sagging and dents, you must be able to solve them simultaneously.
As a result, it's important that cheekbone revision surgery to be performed
by a specialist with extensive surgical experience and excellent skills.
01
If there is no effect after cheekbone reduction surgery
02
If the cheekbones are drooping and non-union and there is a dent after surgery
03
If the cheekbones or temple area is sunken, or has a staircase effect after surgery
04
If there is severe asymmetry after the surgery
Candidates for Revision Square Jaw surgery or Revision Genioplasty
After square jaw surgery, there are many cases of having unnatural jaw line due to excessive resection, no frontal effects due to too small amount of resection, or bumpy jaw lines with secondary angle.
After genioplasty, there are many cases of the chin still being long, short, wide, or asymmetry.
Furthermore, as with cheekbone revision surgery, the skin often sags, so saggy skin has to be corrected simultaneously.
01
If there are no effects after square jaw surgery and genioplasty
02
If there is a formation of secondary angle or staircase effect after surgery
03
If your chin is still receeding even after surgery.
04
If your chin is still too long evenr after surgery.
05
If the chin and jaw line are bumpy or uneven after surgery
Revision Cheekbone Surgery - CT Results
Case 1.
If there is no effect after cheekbone reduction surgery
After an incorrect cheekbone reduction surgery, both the front and side cheekbones had no effects, and the cheekbones drooped. So, 3D rotation-lifting cheekbone surgery and lateral fixation were performed.
Case 2.
If the cheekbone is drooping and non-union after surgery
The cheekbone was drooping and non-union after the incorrect cheekbone surgery. So, 3D rotation-lifting cheekbone surgery and lateral fixation were performed.
Case 3.
If the temple area is sunken or has a staircase effect after surgery
The cheekbones were fractured and collapsed after incorrect cheekbone reduction surgery, and the skin was sunken. Reconstructive surgery and 3D rotation lifting cheekbone surgery were performed.
Case 4.
If there is asymmetry within the left and right sides of the face after surgery .
3D rotation-lifting cheekbone surgery was performed when there were no visible effects after surgery and instead asymmetry occurred.
Revision Square Jaw surgery or Revision Genioplasty - CT Results
Case 1.
If there are no effects after square jaw reduction
After an incorrect square jaw reduction, the chin appears long and wide. So, the inverted V-shaped osteotomy and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed.
Case 2.
If there are no effects after square jaw surgery and genioplasty
After an incorrect square jaw reduction and genioplasty, the chin appears long and wide and jaw line is irregular. So, inverted V-shaped osteotomy and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed.
Case 3.
If there is a formation of secondary angle and staircase effect after surgery
After an incorrect square jaw reduction and genioplasty with two jaw surgery, the jaw line was uneven and the secondary angle and staircase effect were severe. So, inverted V-shaped osteotomy and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed.
Case 4.
If the chin is still long and protrudes after surgery
After an incorrect square jaw reduction and genioplasty, the chin remains long and protruding. So, inverted V-shaped osteotomy with chin retraction and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed
Case 5.
If the chin is too short after surgery
After an incorrect square jaw reduction and genioplasty, the chin became shorter and the asymmetry worsened. So, inverted V-shaped osteotomy with chin bone transplantation and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed
Case 6.
If the revision surgery is required because of complication after chin implant augmentation
Due to the insertion of chin implant, the chin became longer and thicker. So, the chin implant was removed, and inverted V-shaped osteotomy with chin advancement and square jaw reduction with lateral cortical bone shaving were performed.
