I lack facial structure so pulling the skin will make my face look even more elongated and flat. The contour/angle of my face has been shave off. My right cheekbone is low.

Not sure what's the best method for me is but I def need to add structure back to upper face.

I did something I shouldn't have and I'm paying for it. You gotta be careful of what you read and see online. Photos/videos can be photoshopped and edited. I learned a very hard lesson especially when a lot of money is involved.

Yeah I know, that's why I didnt go for the rough path and only got some minor surgeries. What about the implants plus deep lift? You would need it because pf the droopy skin, I have no idea how much youve researched or tried till now so i hope i dont upset you.

You're not upsetting me...that's prob the route I need to take. I don't know if I'm a candidate for it since my facial structure has changed. Implants has a potential to cause infections and facelifting causes scarring. I still can't believe I made such a terrible decision and trusted people who didn't have me in their best interests. These surgeons don't understand the pain they caused in the name is money and greed.

I agree that implants are not without problems. What worries me also is the potential to cause bone resorption, though most doctors claim it is minor or not common. I know you probably would never trust a Korean doctor again, but it’s possible that a revision surgery may be helpful in your case. Right now there appears to be malunion on your zygomas and the position of the bone is such that it could be dragging muscles and soft tissue down. If that were the case a facelift would be unlikely to be helpful unless those issues are first addressed.

Madamebutterfly you're in luck. I found this today. Do at least have a consultation with the Director of VIPS, Dr Lee. Mid face augmentation is his specialty.
I like how the cheek augmentation is so natural and not obvious.
Some people have Binder syndrome also referred to as nasomaxillary hypoplasia, is a rare congenital disease. It affects the mid-face, nose and upper jaw. An individual who has this disease usually has a short, wide and flat nose and an indented upper jaw. Namely, there are varying levels of severity, therefore, a doctor should do a thorough, customized evaluation and consultation.

At VIP, our head doctor, Dr. Lee, is a specialist with Binder Syndrome treatment. Particularly, he specializes in rhinoplasty and mid-face augmentation. He carefully considers each person affected by this disease and customizes a treatment plan. Only an experienced doctor should perform this surgery since it is difficult.

Ideal Candidates for Mid-face Augmentation

01 People with a protruded mouth

02 People with deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds)

03 People with a sunken mid-face

04 People who wish to achieve a sophisticated and elegant appearance v3.jpgv3.jpgv2.jpg

05 People who wish to have a beautiful profile view

06 People who wish to have more beautiful lip line v3.jpgv5.jpgv2.jpg

I'm wondering what he did to the first woman's chin from the profile view--it looks so good after and smooth--almost like he filled the little indent (if that makes sense) in the mid-chin area from the profile view.

Hi Heylo,

I'm finding your post rather prophetic. I recently had a zygomatic arch reduction where only a single bone cut was made in the temporal region and the anterior part of the arch pushed in. As a result, only the lateral part of my cheeks were reduced. Although it has only been two weeks, I'd say 80%+ of my swelling is gone. However, there is now a noticeable droop at the corner of my eyes, giving me a tired look. I searched the net for similar complications and found your post, which is the only English reference that mentions the droopy eyes issue.

For my benefit and the benefit of those considering lateral cheekbone reduction, could you please elaborate on the procedure's connection with saggy eyes? You seem very sure of this connection and I was wondering if this was from speaking with people, personal experience, etc. Do the eyes always sag after this procedure?

Also, at two weeks, could my saggy eyes be due to residual swelling?

Your (and the community's) help would be greatly appreciated!!

You mean droopy on top or side? After my zygoma was reduced the skin on the side of my eyes moved down. No longer lifted up by my cheekbones.

I have heard from many of people who have done the zygoma reduction saying that our skin will anyway get saggy. So if you are insecured about zygoma, it's better to reduce the size of it and keep up with taking care of your skin :smile:
