If You Want to Safely Achieve a Small Face with Zygoma Reduction Surgery

If You Want to Safely Achieve a Small Face with Zygoma Reduction Surgery?

The eyes, nose, and mouth, which are called the facial features, have a major influence on determining first impressions. However, when it comes to changing a person’s impression, they are not the only important factors.

A part of the face that is just as important as the facial features is the cheekbones. The cheekbones are structures on the cheeks, and depending on how prominent they are or where they are positioned, they can make a person look different. The shape of the cheekbones also has a significant effect on face size. If the cheekbones are wide or overly prominent, they can make the face look larger. Because cheekbones play an important role in determining the overall face shape and impression, people whose cheekbones are excessively developed and protruding often become concerned about them.

In particular, if the cheekbones are large and prominent so that the overall impression looks plain and rough, or if the face looks flat and wide, or if, when looking at the face at a 45-degree angle in the mirror, the 45-degree cheekbone highlight below the eyes protrudes noticeably, then many people become interested in improving the appearance complex caused by the cheekbones and want to create a small face through zygoma reduction surgery.

Today, for those people, I would like to explain the 3D combined zygoma reduction surgery. The 3D combined zygoma reduction surgery is a method that reduces the overall volume of the broad and protruding front cheekbone, 45-degree cheekbone, and side cheekbone through rotational repositioning of the cheekbone, changing the overall protruding cheekbone line that looks plain and rough when viewed at a 45-degree angle into a more refined and feminine line.

The 3D combined zygoma reduction surgery has various effects. First, by reducing both the front cheekbones and side cheekbones, it narrows the width of a wide face, creating a slimmer facial line.

It can improve an angular face that looked masculine and fierce and create a more feminine and softer image.

With precise osteotomy and perfect fixation, we help prevent cheek sagging, and our dedicated medical team, with long surgical experience and accumulated technique, provides safe care from consultation to surgery.

In cases where cheekbone protrusion is severe, sufficient rotational repositioning of the cheekbone must be performed to reduce volume in all three dimensions, and the protruding cheekbone highlight that is visible just below the eyes must be moved inward and downward. Even at this stage, it is important to apply the appropriate method according to the type of protruding cheekbone.

You may be wondering what process the 3D combined zygoma reduction surgery follows. First, through an incision inside the mouth, the area to be resected is shaved to the desired width of the cheekbone. Then the front cheekbone and the back part are osteotomized to separate the side cheekbone, which has formed an arch, and it is pushed inward to reduce the width. In addition, we ensure perfect fixation to prevent cheek sagging and nonunion.

  Surgery that changes the facial skeleton requires

careful preoperative examination of the actual surgical area,

and it is important to understand a great deal of information such as the skeletal structure and the locations of blood vessels and nerves.

At our clinic, we use 3D-CT to take both 2D and 3D images at the same time,

making precise and accurate surgery possible through detailed analysis.

Nonunion, which often occurs during zygoma reduction surgery,

happens when the cheekbone moves due to forces applied both internally and externally after surgery.

Depending on postoperative symptoms, bone union, the presence and degree of fibrous union, cosmetic reasons, and other factors,

revision surgery may be necessary.

At our clinic, perfect fixation helps prevent cheek sagging caused by nonunion.

In addition, if sagging occurs due to decreased soft tissue or skin elasticity,

we provide additional post-treatment care such as lifting.

  Above all, to achieve the desired results,

the most important thing to consider is a trustworthy medical team.

At our clinic, Director Park Seong-wan, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial contouring,

provides not only one-on-one consultations but also customized surgery and recovery care checks,

so it is believed that you can complete the small face you wanted through zygoma reduction surgery.
