Pins inserted during facial contouring surgery to fix the bones in place do not always need to be removed. However, many patients consider removal due to discomfort, concerns about inflammation, or personal reasons. In particular, those who had surgery more than 10–20 years ago often worry, “Has it been too long to remove them safely?” Specialists advise that the more important factor is not how much time has passed, but whether the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.

the deviated nose bridge was corrected and wide nasal alars were improved with rhinoplasty.
Regarding facial contouring, the protruding lateral cheekbones got reduced by zygoma reduction surgery coming along with smooth facial lines.

Plus, the surgery made the overall lower face slimmer as well as buccal fat removal was performed to remove the bulkiness of the jowl next to the lip corners.

SIDE PROFILE



From the side profile,

the nasal hump was smoothed out. Especially, it was designed to make a balance of the nasal tip, lips, and chin tip.

In addition, the surgery was performed by reducing the mandibular angle and the 45-degree of the high cheekbone and at the same time to make the side profile smaller.

To make a more defined jawline, facial liposuction was performed together.
