What is Cheekbone Reduction?
Also known as Malarplasty, cheekbone reduction is popular among Asians who feel that their prominent cheekbones project a harsh or unbalanced look in a face with otherwise small, delicate features. Surgical incisions are made in the oral cavity, in which the cheekbones are chiseled to suit the face without creating visible scars. The goal of cheekbone reduction surgery is to reduce the prominence of your cheeks to achieve a more proportioned facial appearance.
Contouring Malarplasty
This procedure is done to improve the cheeks and facial contour. It is suitable for those who want to improve the outline of the face, especially those with a square jaw, protruding cheeks, receding chin or those who want to correct any asymmetrical features.
Malar Reduction (Bone Dissection)
This type of procedure is suitable for those with unbalanced facial contour due to having cheeks that are too wide. If necessary, a part of the bones may be removed to get the desired facial outline.
Malar Reduction (Bone Grinding)
In this procedure, the cheekbones will be reduced in size through grinding and cutting the bones into appropriate and desired size.
Reduction of Malar Projection (Malar Osteotomy)
Through this procedure, the size of the malar (cheeks will be reduced) through resection, bone fixation, buccal fat removal or repositioning of muscles, fat or tiny nerves. Suitable for those with flat facial appearance, or a broad face.
Cheekbone Reduction Procedure
1. Incisions will be made on the inside the mouth and in front of both of the ears to adequately access the zygomatic bones.
2. The bones will be cut with a saw, excess bone will be removed and then arched inwards to create the new face shape. This contour is then fixed into place with screws and plates.
3. Incisions will be closed with dissolvable sutures.
