cheekbone reduction!

Postby christinam » Wed Feb 27, 2008 6:38 am

First of all, I would like to ask you if you do cheekbone reduction? Could you also tell me more about the cheekbone reduction procedure ( risk factor-how safe is it?, heal time, price..). I have done lot of research online about the procedure, but not many do that here in U.S. i am thinking about going oversea to Thailand; what do you recommend? I also dont live there in Texas. Would it be possible to schedule a consultation and the cheekbone reduction procedure on the same day? if i have to stay there, how long is the stay? What method that you most commonly used to do these procedure (grind down, or fracture the cheekbone)? ; if taken too much off the cheek, does it risk collapse the face bone?

Many thank in advance.

Hi,
I don't perform cheekbone reductions. I think the best surgeons for doing that are in S. Korea. You really should find a surgeon there who ONLY does cheek bone and jawbone reductions. This procedure is a highly complicated procedure that needs someone who specializes in it. I wouldn't go to someone who does not do this procedure frequently or well.
Best,

I think Rongmin Baek is famous for this but I cannot give carte blanche referrals. You have to do your own homework.
