[ARTICLE] What Is the Difference Between High-L Zygoma Reduction and Conventional Zygoma Reduction Surgery?

When considering zygoma reduction surgery, patients may be concerned not only about the width of the face from the front, but also about the prominence of the cheekbones from a 45-degree angle. Since the location and degree of cheekbone prominence, as well as the underlying bone structure, vary from person to person, it is important to carefully assess the facial shape and anatomical structure before surgery. Conventional 3D zygoma reduction surgery is generally performed through an intraoral incision. The main body of the zygomatic bone is osteotomized in an “L” shape and then repositioned inward. The location of the osteotomy and the amount of bone movement are determined according to the patient’s cheekbone shape and degree of prominence. In relation to this, Dr. Kwon Soon Beom, Chief Director of ARC Plastic Surgery, previously presented research on zygoma reduction techniques at the international aesthetic plastic surgery conference, APS KOREA 2025.

FRONT VIEW




From the front view,

the deviated nose bridge was corrected and wide nasal alars were improved with rhinoplasty.
Regarding facial contouring, the protruding lateral cheekbones got reduced by zygoma reduction surgery coming along with smooth facial lines.
Also, the tilted chin was corrected so the overall facial shape was improved.
Plus, the surgery made the overall lower face slimmer as well as buccal fat removal was performed to remove the bulkiness of the jowl next to the lip corners.

SIDE PROFILE



From the side profile,

the nasal hump was smoothed out. Especially, it was designed to make a balance of the nasal tip, lips, and chin tip.

In addition, the surgery was performed by reducing the mandibular angle and the 45-degree of the high cheekbone and at the same time to make the side profile smaller.

To make a more defined jawline, facial liposuction was performed together.
