3D Facial Contouring for Women: A Case Study with Jawline Reduction and Bone Regeneration

Considering 3D Facial Contouring?

Hello, I'm Dr. Park Jong-chul. Today, I'm presenting a case study of a female patient who underwent 3D facial contouring surgery, including mandible angle reduction, zygoma reduction, and genioplasty. This comprehensive approach aimed to achieve jawline reduction and stimulate bone regeneration for a harmonious facial appearance. We'll explore the surgical planning process, 3D CT analysis, surgical outcomes, and 1-year postoperative results.

Pre-operative Assessment:

• The patient presented with a "peanut-shaped" face characterized by prominent zygomatic arches, a wide mandible angle, and a thick chin.

• She had previously received filler injections to address a cleft chin, which resulted in an unnatural protrusion and elongated facial appearance. To ensure accurate soft tissue assessment, the filler was dissolved preoperatively.

3D CT Analysis:

• Mandibular body hypertrophy

• Concave mandibular symphysis

• Vertical orientation of the mandibular angle

• Prominent malar tubercle

  
  

Surgical Plan:

• Genioplasty: Maintain chin length and anteroposterior position, reduce width by 8mm.

• Mandible Angle Reduction: Resection of the mandibular angle from the earlobe, including cortical bone reduction.

• Zygoma Reduction: Reduction of the zygomatic arch with upward fixation, targeting both the 45-degree and lateral zygomatic prominence.

  
  

Surgical Outcomes:

• The surgery resulted in a slimmer, more defined, and naturally harmonious facial structure.

• Chin: Despite maintaining the original chin bone length, the removal of the filler and soft tissue adjustments resulted in a reduction of chin protrusion and overall length.

• Jawline: Mandible angle reduction successfully reshaped the jawline, creating a smoother, more feminine contour.

Postoperative Bone Regeneration:

• Follow-up images at 4 months and 1 year postoperatively demonstrated remarkable bone regeneration in the zygoma and mandible osteotomy sites. This highlights the long-term stability and success of the surgical approach.

The Power of 3D Facial Contouring:

This case study showcases the transformative potential of 3D facial contouring for women. By combining advanced surgical techniques with meticulous planning and 3D CT analysis, we can achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results. The observation of bone regeneration further emphasizes the safety and effectiveness of this approach.
