Revision Cheekbone Surgery Case - A Gap in the Cheekbone Body and No Lateral Cheekbone Reduction Effect

Many of the people who come to consult with me have previously undergone cheekbone reduction surgery or square jaw surgery elsewhere, but they seek revision surgery because of unsatisfactory results or concerns about the surgical site.

Revision cheekbone surgery can vary greatly depending on the method used in the previous operation, and the condition of the cheekbones (the location of the osteotomy site and whether union has occurred) can differ widely. Depending on the condition, the difficulty of the surgery and the results that can be expected after surgery may also vary greatly.

The case below is one in which the posterior part of the cheekbone arch was osteotomized inaccurately, only the cheekbone body was removed and fixation was performed somewhat forcefully, but because the posterior part of the cheekbone arch was not properly osteotomized, only a partial fracture occurred, resulting in no lateral cheekbone reduction effect at all and only nonunion at the cheekbone osteotomy site. It also shows the CT images after revision surgery.
