DA Reconstructive Facial Contouring Surgery
uses 3D Printing system
Reconstructing a bone modeling of the patient facial bone that have been overly corrected from the first surgery to make precise bone-implant
Customized bone-implant that reflects the patient's skeletal shape and curvature of the patient's facial structure are used for better surgery results
DA Plastic Surgery improves unnatural face lines from the overly removed facial bone from previous surgery through a 3D printing system that reconstructs bone implants precisely for each patient's condition.
DR. Lee Sang Woo director of DA Plastic Surgery has established a thesis about Reconstructive Facial Contouring in the year 2013 August.
The surgical method of reconstructing a patient’s facial structure that has been overly reduced from previous surgery is mentioned in this thesis. Furthermore, he emphasized that during revision or reconstructive facial contouring surgeries, reconstructing the jaw-line between jaw to front chin is more crucial than removing more bones.

A surgery that does not take consideration of the patient’s facial bone structure may bring false result but reconstructive facial contouring surgery that uses a 3D printing system to gather accurate information about the facial structure before the surgery to create precise bone-implant needed by the patient will only be successful.
