Facial Bone Alteration Surgery
In Asians, wide,
flat and large
face, prominent
zygoma (cheek
bone) and
mandible (jaw
bone), weak and
retruded chin,
flat or retruded
forehead are
quite
common.
So, facial bone
contouring to
make their face
small, shallow
and bossy such
as zygoma
reduction,
mandible
reduction, chin
augmentation,
forehead
augmentation are
very
popular.
When we assess
facial
proportion, we
divide face 3
horizontal and 5
vertical pieces
which should be
similar.
Facial bone
contouring is
the most
important
surgery in face
because balance
between the
structures in
face is more
important than
the shape of
each structure.
