chloefinds Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Has anyone done a square jaw reduction? Sorry if this thread is repeated, but I heard the skin begins to sag because it's excess: do patients usually do a lift after the reduction or for zygoma?
sodium Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Yes, most common side effect among Koreans after bone contouring is facial sagging. They usually do thread lifting to fix it. I've seen Korean reviews of people saying they regret their bone contouring surgeries because they have to do thread lifting until they die. When you reduce the bones in your face, you're actually removing the support that was holding up your tissue and skin, therefore some degree of facial sagging should be expected.
itshelloeltiy Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I heard thread lifting is temporary. A face lift is permanent. If the sagging is at the jaw only, it can also be treated (but not to an extent as a face lift I think) with acculift or liposuction. I don't know much about zygoma for that though.
sodium Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Yeah thread lifting is temporary, but it's safer, cheaper and less invasive which is why it's so popular in Korea. You can always take out the threads if the result isn't good. A face lift can damage your nerves and also leave your face looking too tight and stretching your mouth wider like joker. People with a facelift tend to look especially stiff when they speak. Acculift or liposuction only REMOVES FAT. But it cannot lift sagging skin.
wrenji Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I hear thread lifting can make the face sag more once it stop working because the skin is already stretch from the thread then go back to normal after effect wears off. A bit like rubber band?
chloefinds Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 So a facelift is basically required after square jaw reduction?
sodium Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Threadlifting needs maintenance to keep the desired effect. A facelift could be the same, either way your face will sag and you might need another facelift in the future. Depends on the individual, but don't forget that removing bone is removing support that your tissues once had. Even if you don't experience facial sagging initially, doesn't mean that it won't happen as you age. Everyone sags with aging, and bone contouring might make it even more so. Same goes for breast implants. I'm assuming this is why bone contouring isn't as common in the west. Surgery isn't always a one time thing for some procedures, it requires maintenance to maintain the desired effect.
avene Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 When I had consultation jaw reduction before in Korea, doctor recommend me both jaw reduction and acculift. The doctor was quite honest, he said my skin has been loose elasticity. so i need these procedure haha
gantz Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Which doctor and hospital was that? ^^ May I ask how old are you? Thanks
monixtuma Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Thread lift is recommend for those who are have some of saggy skin on your face. Thread is dissolved thread which absorbs on your body and it makes collagen on your face to make your skin condition better (Skin tightening, Skin elasticity better). But as it is dissolved thread, It won't last permanently. It will make you look younger about 3~4 years old but as get aging is inevitable, aging will be still progress.
milkychoco Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I would recommend you to check out sunnydahye's channel on Youtube, her most recent morning routine video shows how much her skin sagged after jaw surgery. she now has a very prominent double chin and droppy cheeks. actually I remember her mentioning the sagging once. I think it's really bound to happen even if the doctor did his best.
gantz Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Omg her double chin is very bad looking. I don't find her cheeks to be too droopy, just a little deflated, a fat graft could solve her problem. But about this double chin I don't know. Maybe acculift could help? But it's soo much..OMG I don't want that happening to me
murt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Another example is Qiu Qiu -- she (in my opinion) had gorgeous bone structure with high cheekbones and no double chin prior to surgery. After surgery, her face did sag, and she's since had a facelift done. It's funny how high cheekbones like what Qiu Qiu had before are so desirable within western beauty standards, but it's the opposite with Korean beauty norms.
