Brow Bone Reduction

Description

Brow bone reduction, also known as forehead contouring or supraorbital ridge reduction, is a facial bone procedure designed to soften a prominent brow ridge and create a smoother transition between the forehead and upper eye area. It is commonly considered by patients seeking a more balanced facial profile or a less masculine forehead appearance. In South Korea, surgeons typically begin with detailed facial analysis and imaging—often including CT scans—to assess the thickness and shape of the frontal bone and frontal sinus. Depending on the anatomy, the procedure may involve carefully shaving and contouring the bone or, when the frontal sinus is prominent, reshaping and repositioning the bone wall for a more natural result. The surgery is generally performed under general anesthesia through an incision placed within or behind the hairline to help conceal the scar. After accessing the forehead bone, the surgeon reshapes the brow area according to the individualized surgical plan, with attention to facial proportions, symmetry, and preservation of surrounding structures. Recovery usually includes temporary swelling, bruising, forehead tightness, and numbness, which gradually improve over the following weeks. As with any bone contouring procedure, patients should receive a thorough consultation regarding candidacy, expected outcomes, incision placement, recovery, and potential risks such as asymmetry, contour irregularities, sensation changes, or sinus-related complications.

It focuses on forming a natural-looking eyelid line that matches the patient’s facial features. Ptosis Correction lifts drooping upper eyelids by correcting the muscles that open the eyes. It improves a heavy or tired-looking appearance and gives the eyes a brighter look. Blepharoplasty removes or adjusts excess skin and tissue around the eyelids. It refreshes the eye area and creates a smoother, more youthful contour. Rhinoplasty Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve facial balance from every angle. It focuses on both appearance and structural harmony, in line with the clinic’s emphasis on aesthetics and function. Revision Rhinoplasty corrects concerns from a previous nose surgery. It focuses on restoring a more stable nasal structure and a more refined appearance. Face Contouring Full Face Contouring combines facial contouring procedures to create smoother and more balanced overall proportions. It is designed for patients who want a more refined face shape across multiple areas. Cheekbone Surgery reduces or repositions prominent cheekbones for a softer facial outline. It creates a slimmer side profile and a more balanced midface. Square Jaw Surgery reshapes the lower jaw to reduce a broad or angular jawline. It creates a slimmer and smoother lower-face contour. Chin Surgery adjusts the size or projection of the chin to improve facial balance. It aligns the chin more harmoniously with the nose, lips, and jawline. Facial Implant adds structure and definition to areas of the face that need more projection. It enhances balance and creates clearer facial contours. Face Lifting Facelift lifts and repositions sagging facial tissue for a firmer, younger-looking appearance. It improves facial contours while maintaining natural expression. Thread Lift uses dissolvable threads to lift areas of mild facial sagging. It provides a more defined contour with a less invasive approach than full surgical lifting. Face Fat Grafting transfers the patient’s own fat to areas of the face that need more volume. It restores fullness and softens hollow or flattened contours. Breast Surgery Breast Implants increase breast volume and improve breast shape using implants. The procedure focuses on natural-looking fullness and balanced proportions. Breast Lift raises and reshapes breasts that have lost position or firmness. It creates a higher and more youthful breast contour. Breast Reduction reduces breast size by removing excess tissue and skin. It creates a lighter, more proportionate breast shape and improves overall body balance. Body Contouring Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to slim and shape specific areas of the body. It focuses on improving body contours rather than overall weight loss. Stem Cell Stem Cell Treatment uses regenerative techniques centered on stem cells to support tissue quality and recovery.

LABOM Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong offers a variety of advanced procedures designed to enhance beauty and restore confidence. Facial Contouring Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (CarGel): This injection-based technique reshapes the nasal bridge and tip without incisions, using a patented "cartilage gel" made from the patient's own diced cartilage (from the ear, septum, or rib) mixed with fibrin extracted from their blood. With no synthetic implants and no nasal scarring, it delivers natural, undetectable results in under an hour, with about a week of recovery. Face and Neck Lift (Triple Lift): This proprietary three-layer lifting technique treats the skin, SMAS (muscle fascia), and deep fat layer simultaneously, repositioning sagging cheek fat and tightening underlying structures to correct facial and neck sagging, deep wrinkles, and volume loss. Performed under sedation with local anesthesia, it typically takes 3–4 hours with 7–14 days of recovery and natural, long-lasting results. Eyelid Surgery Blepharoplasty: This procedure addresses drooping upper and lower eyelids caused by age-related loss of skin elasticity, using either an incisional technique (removing excess skin for significant sagging) or a less invasive natural adhesion method with small incisions and medical-grade thread. It restores a refreshed appearance and can relieve vision obstruction caused by sagging skin. Double Eyelid Surgery: This procedure creates a natural eyelid crease for patients with monolids, using one of three techniques — a natural adhesion method with a micro-incision, a non-incisional method using tiny openings and sutures, or a full incisional approach — chosen based on the individual's eye characteristics. It can also correct ptosis (drooping eyelids) at the same time. Fat Grafting & Liposuction Facial Fat Grafting: This autologous procedure harvests excess fat from donor sites such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, purifies it via centrifugation, and injects it into volume-deficient areas of the face to correct sunken foreheads, deep nasolabial folds, and overall volume loss. It's designed as a natural alternative to implants, taking 1–2 hours under sleep sedation with about a week of recovery. Facial Liposuction: This procedure uses micro-cannula technology to precisely remove excess fat from the cheeks and chin while stimulating collagen production beneath the skin, often combined with V-line contour lifting to tighten skin and prevent sagging. It corrects double chins, undefined jawlines, and cheek sagging, with a 1-hour procedure time and 2–3 days of recovery. Each procedure at LABOM Plastic Surgery is customized to meet individual patient needs and aims to deliver natural-looking and satisfying results. Their experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities ensure a high standard of care and safety for every patient.
