The Distinctive Surgical Methods of Dr. In-soo, Kirk ,
a Master of Contour Surgery Remember, insufficient clinical
experience may lead to unsatisfactory outcomes.

There are various methods for cheekbone reduction, each varying by hospital and surgeon. Dr. In-soo, Kirk 's Secret Cheekbone Reduction involves moving the entire cheekbone inwards, ensuring effectiveness without external scars. This procedure uses minimal detachment, dissolvable pins, and light general anesthesia for safe and quick recovery. Developed over 15 years with over 4000 cases, this technique pioneered using various dissolvable pins in contour surgeries.

Critical Points of Secret Cheekbone Reduction

The surgery is performed under posterior gel anesthesia with incisions about the size of a needle hole near the ear and a small 1.5 cm incision inside the mouth. Dr. In-soo, Kirk 's exclusive method involves performing acute L osteotomy at precise locations, rotating and pushing the osteotomized cheekbone inwards, and securing it with dissolvable pins.

Invisible Incision Lines for Scar-Free,
Secure Hidden Scar

For cheekbone surgery, incisions are made in two places: inside the mouth for the front cheekbone and near the ear for the rear cheekbone. At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we make minimal 1 cm incisions inside the mouth and only needle-sized holes near the ear, leaving no visible scars post-surgery.

Rapid Recovery with Minimal (Micro) Dissection,
Eliminating Concerns of Skin Sagging

The surgery involves minimal detachment through a tiny incision inside the mouth and no separation for the osteotomy near the ear. This approach ensures no post-surgery sagging and less swelling for a quicker recovery.

Bone Preservation Allowing for Corrections,
Revision Surgeries, and 100% Reversibility

Traditional cheekbone reduction often involves removing part of the bone at the osteotomy site. ONUL's Secret Cheekbone Reduction, without bone removal, employs acute V osteotomies unique to Dr. In-soo, Kirk , allowing for solid fixation, easier corrections, revisions, and complete restoration.

Precise Rotational Movement for Intricate
Cheekbone Repositioning

The protruding cheekbones are meticulously repositioned, adjusting the rotation ratio to each individual’s facial contour, resulting in harmonious volume. This method effectively improves asymmetry and enhances the face from flat to three-dimensional. Precise repositioning considers both cheekbones' thickness, size, volume, and protrusion, allowing for asymmetry correction.

Use of Various High-Quality
Dissolvable Pins for Firm Fixation

Since 2009, Dr. In-soo, Kirk has used high-quality dissolvable pins for Secret Cheekbone Reduction. The advantage of these pins is that they are invisible on X-rays before dissolving, eliminating the need for later removal. ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY offers a range of dissolvable pins tailored to each patient’s needs. [The option of standard titanium pins is also available.]
CPS is a CE-certified medical device used in over 120,000 surgeries since 2001. It is the only product comparable to titanium and aids in bone regeneration while decomposing.
OSTEOTRANS-MX represents the next generation of bone fixation material, being the first in the world to achieve high bone conductivity and mechanical strength similar to bone. It incorporates PLLA components that are eventually replaced by calcium, leading to the final substitution with natural bone. It is an FDA-certified medical device.

Two-Hour (2hour) Drain

At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we perform precise and swift surgeries based on an advanced system and the rich experience of our medical staff, minimizing blood loss and often not requiring drainage in most contour surgeries.

However, in surgeries like bimaxillary osteotomy and extensive mandible reduction, some bleeding is inevitable due to blood pressure increases upon waking from anesthesia. Even a tiny amount of blood, if accumulated, can cause hematoma or infection, so we insert a drain during awakening from anesthesia. This drain exits through the intraoral incision site, eliminating concerns about scarring, and is removed approximately two hours post-surgery to minimize patient discomfort.

Pursuing Naturalness and
Facial Proportion Harmony

The essence of cosmetic surgery is naturalness.
Especially for contour surgeries, unlike general eye and nose surgeries, harmony with the overall body and facial proportions is fundamental.
At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we pursue a natural facial shape that looks like it has always been yours, based on the golden ratio of the face.

Custom Contour and Implant Surgery
with 3D Printing

Using 3D CT and 3D printing, we create actual-sized models of the current bone structure to produce 1:1 custom implants. This customization allows precise calculation of the patient's bone shape, shortens surgery time, and reduces the risk of infection from modifying the shape during surgery.
We precisely calculate to predict the post-surgery appearance, ensuring the best results.

Post-Surgery Swelling Management Program

At ONUL PLASTIC SURGERY, we assist you in returning to your daily life naturally through methods such as swelling reduction injections and management, based on the physician's assessment, to facilitate rapid elimination of swelling.

  • Swelling Reduction Injections These injections help reduce inflammation and swelling, promote regeneration, stabilize cellular membranes in surgical areas, and prevent aging and degenerative changes.
  • Swelling Management We support blood circulation, aiding in the efficient drainage of stagnant fluids and blood, proving effective against swelling and bruising.
  • Regeneration Management Post-surgery, our approach includes removing dead skin cells and sebum, soothing tired skin, and providing hydration and nutrients for skin regeneration.

Post-Surgery Scar Management Program

Scarring is a significant concern with incisional surgeries.
We spare no effort in minimizing scars throughout the surgical process, and we continue with ongoing scar injections and laser scar management post-surgery.

  • Scar Management Injections These injections aim to minimize hypertrophic scars and keloids while aiding skin regeneration
  • Pigmentation Laser This treatment prevents pigmentation at the surgical site and destroys melanin, effectively lightening the skin. It also reduces the redness of scars and suppresses excessive vascular proliferation.
  • Scar Laser Our laser treatment increases the activity of fibroblasts, promoting dermal collagen production to correct skin textures disrupted by scarring.
