Will Chin Augmentation Surgery Lengthen My Short Chin?

Image
Hello, I'm Dr. Lee Sang Kyun, the Head of TS Plastic Surgery.   One of the important factors in facial contouring surgery is the overall proportion of the face. A long chin can give the impression of strong and aged features, while a short chin can make you look younger, but if it is severely short in relation to the overall proportions of your face, it can make you look dowdy and unrefined. A short chin can also cause your face to look wide and large, especially if you have a particularly prominent square jaw, which can sometimes be caused by an overdeveloped mandibular angle, but can also be caused by a short chin. Most people with a short chin don't consider themselves to have a short chin, so when they consult with a facial contouring surgeon, they may be told that a cheekbone reduction or square jaw surgery can help reduce the width of the face, but it may not be enough to create a slimmer face shape.

  Highly Revised Protruding Eye Surgery: How to Avoid Failure?   It's no exaggeration to say that blepharoplasty is one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery today. As a result, it's not uncommon for patients to take it lightly, and even more common for them to decide to have it done hastily, only to find that they are unhappy with the results.     Eye surgery is not simply about the size of the eyes or the thickness of the skin but also about the muscles, fat, and other structures of the eyeball and the structural shape of the eye, such as protruding or sunken eyes. Therefore, some eyes are classified as very difficult and complex, and the frequency of reoperation due to dissatisfaction is very high. Example of Protruded Eye   A protruding eye is one in which the front point of the eyeball protrudes further than the front of the cheekbone when viewed from the side, as shown in the ima...

While it is important to understand the patient's desire for the eyelid line or the area they want to improve, it is essential to understand the characteristics of the patient's eyes. So we look at various factors during the consultation, including orbicularis oculi muscle force, skin thickness, overlying tissues such as muscle and fat, brow bone and cheekbone structure, and asymmetry, and then after diagnosing these factors, we develop a surgical plan. One of the features that we will talk about today is sunken eyes, which are often categorized as complex cases to treat, so let's look at why that is and how to treat them. Protruding vs.  Sunken Eyes Protruding eyes are those that project forward from the cheekbones and the most forward point o...
