missorange Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Thank you @touni27 for compiling all this detailed research into sagging from cheekbone surgery and how to fix. Fascinating read and the more I read the less inclined I am to do zygoma reduction which is a good thing.
sheonlylooks25 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Thanks@touni27, great work. I love the way you write too. That Dr Ma from China seems like an expert PS to see for zygoma work.
touni27 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 Thanks guys! I have MASSIVE cheekbones and i really wanted to get reduction but doing all this research like... I don't think it's worth it either.
fortunecat Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Seriously, i also think its not worth it... In this forum, i got the impression that the face sags after the cheeks reduction and most actually have to do fat grafts after that. Sometimes, we think that its massive but to others, our cheekbones do not look big to others.
missorange Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I think researching sagging is vital to stop one from an impulsive decision. Clinics never show their bad results. I found this patient with sagging on another site and cropped out any identifying features. She had v line in korea and then a facelift and midface lift to try to correct the sagging but sagging may also involve the deep tissues and muscles cut during bone contouring. This suggests that zygoma or v line may require both fat grafting to fill empty spaces and a mid and/or lower facelift to fix the sagging. The first photo shows sagging especially in her chin after v line. The middle photo shows sagging in her cheeks too (note the deep nasolabial folds too) and the bottom photo is after a facelift and midface lift to try to correct both. She never tried fat grafting. The costs of all these surgeries must mount up especially as she had the facelifts in America to correct the sagging from surgery in Korea?!
madambutterfly89 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I think it would've possibly been better for her to try custom jaw implants to create structure before any facelifts
madambutterfly89 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 These surgeons don't know everything or ignorant to the fact on how important facial bone is to our soft tissue. They're are so many variables involved.
missorange Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 This is a summary of all the potential complications of facial bone surgery on another site. Makes one think again. https://cosmeticjourney.com/forum/topic/28614-mandibular-jaw-angle-reduction-problemscomplications-with-face-bone-reduction/
fortunecat Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Oh my god! This looks scary though. Maybe that's why some celebrities don't age well. Only time will tell....
madambutterfly89 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I'm planning on going for consult for cheekbone reconstruction with bone graft--I came up with some question but if anyone can think of some questions please let me know.
madambutterfly89 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Does anyone know if the face dental is any good? I emailed them and they told me they do bone grafting. However, I don't know how skilled they are
gabriellaa555 Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Do you know what about jaw reduction sagging? Now I have thoughts that if bone is removed, and the area where soft tissues were attached is cut so now soft tissues are left unattached or there is particular method to re-attach this ? Also do you know if just masseter muscle can be reduced in surgical way (not by botox)?
madambutterfly89 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 If bone is repositioned correctly after revision--the soft tissue will still need to be lifted later on correct? I'm guessing it can't be done at the same time until all swelling has dissipated?
twocupcakes Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 The Face Dental has pretty positive reviews here, and they don't seem to charge foreigners three times as much like some other clinics do. However, EU Dental is far more famous locally in Korea.
madambutterfly89 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Thank you. I'm curious--if the zygomatic arch has been push inward and fixated wires--would it be risky to push it back out again?
