Abstract

Most East Asian women prefer a smaller and smoother facial contour. To meet this aesthetic preference, the concept and surgical techniques of modern facial bone contouring surgery have evolved. Initially, facial bone contouring surgery was limited to procedures like mandibular angle and malar reductions. However, contemporary Asian facial bone contouring surgery now places a stronger emphasis on addressing the entire facial profile from a three-dimensional perspective, a concept referred to as Profiloplasty. In this article, we review the evolution of surgical techniques in Asian facial bone contouring surgery and present its current surgical concepts, particularly focusing on the three-dimensional aspects.
