Why does my face look big and wide?
If you’re asking yourself, “Why does my face look big and wide? and “How can I reduce face size?” we may have the answer. The size of the face may appear bigger as we age due to a decrease in volume of the skin, bones, and fatty tissue beneath it. Depending on main cause there are few solutions we would like to introduce.
So, if you are not satisfied with your face shape & size due to prominent cheekbones or a long face caused by a prominent chin, facial liposuction can effectively address these concerns. Dr. Hong is a skilled doctor who can provide the necessary expertise. While some cases may require body shaving surgery to achieve a perfect V-line, in most instances, liposuction is a simple and effective treatment option that can deliver amazing results.
How to check what makes my face big : fat or bone?
Pinching test
The pinch test is an ancient technique for measuring body/face fat percentage. It entails pinching skin folds in different areas. If the skin feels soft and puffy when pinched, then it indicates the presence of fat. On the other hand, if you can barely pinch the skin and it feels slippery without any layer underneath, it suggests there is no excess subcutaneous fat in that specific area. The accuracy of the test can be influenced by the skill of the person performing it, leading to measurement errors ranging from 3.5–5% body fat.

Ultrasound screening
Fat can be measured directly through ultrasound testing in various age groups, including the elderly, teenagers, and pregnant women. It is important to note that even individuals who are physically fit and within a healthy weight range can determine their fat content by undergoing measurement procedures.

CT scan
A CT scan provides precise visualizations of various body parts, encompassing bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels. Consequently, it allows for an accurate assessment of bone structure, muscle thickness, and soft tissue condition, providing a clear understanding of the facial features and characteristics.

Is it really possible to reduce face size by liposuction?
The internet does not provide much information when it comes to areas like the zygomatic bone, chin, or forehead for liposuction. This is because these areas are too challenging to access with a liposuction cannula and require special techniques. Without the proper technique, the skin can become saggy and the shape of the area can become uneven and blotchy. Fresh Clinic brings extensive expertise in face and body contouring, providing significant advantages in the realm of Korean plastic surgery compared to its counterparts.
Dr. Hong developed his own approach to reduce face size with minimal scars ans incisions for this dedicated areas. He employs a special liposuction cannula and equipment to eliminate excess facial fat through a small incision of around 2-3 mm, strategically placed on an inconspicuous area of the face.His unique AVOID technique utilizes ultrasound to assess the thickness of the fat and nerves. Once the precise location of the facial fat is determined, a water jet is used to selectively break down and remove the fatty tissue, excluding the nerves and blood vessels, followed by manual extraction.
So for cheek bone liposuction area he uses intro-oral incision approach, for the forehead – the eyebrow line or hairline approach to minimize scars on face.
