What is Cheekbone Reduction Surgery?
Experience Elevated Aesthetic Artistry
Cheekbone Reduction, also known as zygoma reduction, is a surgery to reduce the size of the cheekbones and create a softer image. WANT doctors thoroughly understand the individual’s face anatomical structure and perform according to the patient’s needs.
Cheekbone reduction surgery, also called ‘zygoma reduction surgery, is a procedure that aims to achieve a natural and balanced look by adjusting the size and position of the cheekbones. Rather than simply removing a significant amount of bone, this surgery takes into consideration the harmony with the surrounding facial bones. The goal is to create a more proportionate appearance, without protrusion or imbalance.

How is Cheekbone Reduction Surgery done?
In the past, the prevailing notion was that removing a significant portion of the cheekbones was the most effective approach. However, thanks to extensive experience and feedback from satisfied patients, a more effective treatment method has emerged. This newer approach involves minimizing the amount of bone removed and avoiding excessive procedures. By doing so, it reduces the burden on the patient and accelerates the recovery process. The key focus is to achieve satisfactory and effective results.
Proper Repositioning with Minimal Dissection
Using a minimal dissection technique, bone removal is kept to a minimum.
The bone is carefully cut and reshaped to align precisely with the repositioned cheekbone.
This approach helps prevent cheek sagging and preserves natural soft tissue support.
Secure Fixation
To prevent the cheekbones from separating, the repositioned bone is securely fixed in place.
Rigid stabilization ensures precise healing and structural integrity.
This significantly reduces the risk of complications such as nonunion and postoperative sagging.

How much does
Facial Contouring cost In Seoul, Korea?

Factors that influence pricing include the type of contouring procedure (cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction, chin surgery, or combined procedures), the complexity of bone restructuring, fixation techniques used, and whether revision surgery is required.
