In zygoma surgery, the method of non-fixation followed by molding is a very irresponsible and dangerous idea.

 

As the expression suggests, it is described as weakening the bridge-like zygomatic arch among the structures of the zygoma so that the zygoma can be bent like clay, then pressing it by hand to shape it. In reality, people with a great deal of experience in zygoma surgery tend to have many doubts about such a procedure.

 

The reason is that the weakest part of the zygoma is the middle portion of the zygomatic arch (bridge), and this area is often fractured by traumatic impact. In many cases, it is the part that breaks in accident-related fractures.

As a result, in secondary and tertiary hospitals, reconstructive surgery is often performed in the emergency room.

 

However, if several areas are artificially fractured and then pushed in by hand, it is difficult to imagine what the situation will be afterward.

In our case, there are quite a few people who come to us considering reoperation because zygoma surgery performed elsewhere went wrong, but in such cases, reoperation is probably completely impossible in many instances.

 

 

Perhaps because of this procedure (non-fixation zygoma surgery and molding), I even worry that lawsuits and compensation amounts after zygoma surgery will become enormously large.
