Nov 13, 2025
Choi Young-woong, a professor of plastic surgery at Ilsan Paik Hospital, Inje University, won the 'Most Cited Paper Award' at the 28th conference of the Korean Academy of Cranial Eye Plastic Surgery held at Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Seoul on the 11th.
Professor Choi Young-woong's thesis 'Three-dimensional analysis of facial symmetry recovery after cheekbone fracture surgery in three dimensions (Facial asymetry after zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture reduction)' was selected as the most cited paper in the official journal of the Korean Crane Eye Plastic Surgery Association. The study identified that while the overall symmetry of the face is mostly restored after clown composite fracture (ZMC) surgery, a microscopic asymmetry remains in the anterior and posterior (forward and backward) direction. Through this, it was evaluated as having great academic significance in that it suggested the importance of supplementing the anterior and anterior depression in future surgery and suggested clinical improvement directions.
Meanwhile, the Korean Crane Facial Plastic Surgery Association was launched in 1993 as the 「Korea Facial Plastic Surgery Research Society」 and is a professional plastic surgery society that researches and educates surgical treatment and reconstruction in the fields of birth deformity, trauma, tumor, and beauty, leading academic exchange and research development at home and abroad.
