CHEEKBONE REDUCTION

Cheek Reduction also known as Zygoma reduction, aims to reduce protruding cheekbones. The more protruded the cheekbone (Zygoma), the stronger and rougher the impression it gives out. The cheekbones may look more protruded as the cheeks sink due to aging. Cheekbone reduction further reduces the cheekbone through L-shaped osteotomy (bone cut) to make the side and front cheekbone look smaller while forming a natural volume according to the twisting movement of the cheekbones.

How is Cheekbone Reduction surgery performed?
Zygoma reduction surgical approach can be divided into two types, external or intraoral approach. External approach requires incision made externally, which will cause visible scarring. Intraoral approach is the most favored approach as the incision site will be hidden inside the mouth. For some cases, both an intraoral and external approach is required to achieve maximum shaving of the zygomatic body and arch.
