Do you want to make your face look smaller?
Cheekbone reduction surgery is what you need!
So let`s discover more about that kind of surgery!
Cheekbone reduction surgery
can help you achieve a more elegant and dainty face. Cheekbones are one of the most important features located at the center of the face, and therefore play an integral role in defining one’s overall facial appearance. If the cheekbones are excessively prominent, the face can appear to be bigger than its actual size, giving the person a harsh and intense or fierce look. Cheekbone reduction is a procedure used to reshape prominent cheekbones. Korean plastic surgeons have become renowned internationally for their expertise in cheekbone reduction as high cheekbones are quite prevalent among Koreans.
Cheekbone reduction
is also commonly known as malar reduction or zygoma reduction. The procedure is carried out not to flatten or shave the cheekbone but, rather, to reshape in a manner that it reduces facial width while also giving the face more three-dimensional depth as opposed to the flat appearance of people with enlarged cheekbones.
There are several ways in which you can perform a self-assessment of whether you have enlarged cheekbones simply by looking at your face in the mirror from different angles and under different lighting conditions.
Before malar reduction techniques are decided, the patient will have to come through undergo a facial X-ray in order to analyze the facial structure. The surgeon will also be able to find out whether the protruded cheeks are composed of muscles, bones or excess fat to choose the most suitable technique.
Malar reduction,
also known as reduction malarplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to reduce the size of the malar, or the cheekbones. While well-defined cheekbones are known to create an aesthetic appearance, some people, especially those with East Asian backgrounds, are prone to have excessively prominent cheekbones that do not look proportional or balanced with the rest of their facial features. This makes the face look too wide or too square in shape. Malar reduction surgery can effectively correct this problem and create a more balanced, more aesthetic appearance.
Who Should Undergo and Expected Results
Malar reduction surgery is for individuals who have overly prominent cheekbones. This may be due to a high malar body or high malar arch, both of which can make a person’s facial features look disproportionate. The result is usually a mandibular angle that is prominent on the frontal view, the lateral view, or both. When the bone is laterally prominent, it causes the face to appear too wide.
Thus, to qualify for the procedure, patients are first evaluated based on their facial symmetry, skeletal proportion, and their degree of zygomatic prominence. Their facial nerves status is also reviewed.
Patients who qualify for malar reduction are usually those with the following features:
- Broad face
- Fierce appearance
- Flat facial appearance
- Unsightly space below the malar
The procedure can involve the following:
- Resection or cutting the most protruding part of the zygomatic arch
- Bone fixation
- Buccal fat removal
- Moving the positions of the muscles, fat, and tiny nerves in the cheeks.
Be prepared to rest for at least 5-7 days for recovery after cheekbone reduction surgery. Take the medication prescribed by your surgeon in order to minimize swelling, bruising, and numbness as these conditions will disappear within 1-2 weeks. Results will be more noticeable after swelling reduces after 3 months.
