As facial contouring surgery has recently become more common,
there has been a lot of curiosity about the indications for zygomatic reduction surgery and its surgical results.
Perhaps,
it is questionable how much understanding detailed explanations about surgery can provide to the general public, but I would like to share my personal view.
Of course,
zygomatic reduction surgery is not an easy procedure,
and it requires extensive experience and skilled technique in order to achieve good results.
Because of this, I think that even among plastic surgeons,
there are sometimes those who hesitate to perform zygomatic surgery because of their own limitations.
In order to achieve satisfactory cosmetic results from zygomatic surgery,
harmonious and effective correction of the front cheekbone (the body of the zygomatic bone) and the side cheekbone (the zygomatic arch) is essential.
Correction of the front cheekbone area is mainly performed through an intraoral approach, and satisfactory results can be expected by gently and carefully refining the body of the zygomatic bone.
However, effective correction of the side cheekbone requires a great deal of experience and skill.
At this point, if the side cheekbone is properly corrected, the width of the face can be expected to decrease by about 10 to 15 mm on one side, but if the side cheekbone is not properly corrected, even after zygomatic reduction surgery, the face may appear wider than before surgery and the cheeks may look saggy.
To reduce the side cheekbone,
it is important to perform the procedure accurately while viewing it directly through an intraoral incision and a small incision in the sideburn area, and it is essential to firmly move the zygomatic arch inward.
If performed accurately in this way,
not only will the width of the face decrease, but the skin and soft tissue that had covered the zygomatic bone will also be repositioned in the direction in which the arch is moved, so there will be no cheek sagging at all, and rather an improvement in the nasolabial fold area can be expected.
