[Facial Contouring] Zygoma (Cheekbone) Reduction

High cheekbones can be a symbol of beauty and health. However, when misplaced and out of proportion, it can be a concern.

Zygoma reduction is an effective procedure to shorten the horizontal length of the face while smoothing over protruding appearance of the cheekbones.

<Surgery Method for Zygoma Reduction Procedure>

1. Incise approximately  one centimeter in front of the zygomatic bones through the mouth.
2. Incise front, side, and 45 degree cheekbones in proportion.
3. Push the cheekbones inward, and fasten tightly.
4. Move the tissue that surrounds the cheekbones forward to create voluminous, and balanced appearance.
