Principles and Features of 'Gwang-lifting' to Prevent Cheek Sagging After Zygoma Reduction
Discover 345 Plastic Surgery's 'Gwang-lifting,' which alleviates concerns about cheek sagging that may occur after zygoma reduction. We introduce a professional approach combining facial contouring and lifting to simultaneously address smooth facial lines and skin elasticity.
Why Does Cheek Sagging Occur After Zygoma Reduction?
Many people consider zygoma reduction for a smoother facial contour, but hesitate due to the potential for cheek sagging after surgery. This is because when the volume of the cheekbone is reduced, the relatively excess skin and soft tissue can migrate downwards. This phenomenon can be particularly noticeable in cases of low skin elasticity or high fat volume, as the adhesion between the skin and bone decreases.
The Dual Adhesion Principle of 345's 'Gwang-lifting'
To overcome these limitations, 345 Plastic Surgery's 'Gwang-lifting' is an exclusive surgical method that combines facial contouring and lifting. Rather than simply shaving the bone, it helps mitigate cheek sagging in advance through an upward dual adhesion fixation method.
Core Point of Gwang-lifting: Utilizing the Same Dissection Area
- Dual Adhesion Fixation: By setting the dissection scope of the zygoma reduction and mini-lifting to be identical, it induces the creation of artificial retaining ligaments during surgery.
- Upward Traction: It increases fixation strength to prevent skin sagging by pulling the skin tissue upward and adhering it closely.
- Personalized Custom Lifting: The most suitable lifting method is combined according to skin thickness, fat distribution, and degree of sagging.
Choosing the Right Customized Lifting Method for You
Gwang-lifting can incorporate various lifting techniques depending on the patient's condition. It is important to make a careful decision through a thorough diagnosis with a specialist.
- SMAS Volume Lift: For those desiring stronger and more definitive elasticity improvement, the deeper layers are corrected through minimal incisions.
- Plus-Minus Lifting: Recommended when seeking natural elasticity improvement with less burden regarding incisions.
Collaborative System Between Facial Contouring and Lifting Specialists
Gwang-lifting is performed through the collaboration of Chief Director Dr. Park Jong-lim (contouring specialist) and Chief Director Dr. Han Kyu-nam (lifting specialist), who possess a combined 45 years of surgical experience and know-how.
