[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.

[Column] Revision Facial Contouring Surgery: Careful Consideration with Experienced Professionals

 




In today's society, there is a strong preference for small and slim faces. This has led to an increasing number of people choosing facial contouring surgery to address issues such as protruding cheekbones or angular jawlines.


Facial contouring surgery helps improve skeletal issues and is tailored according to individual facial shapes. Various techniques are employed, such as cheekbone reduction, mandibular angle reduction, or chin reduction or extension, to achieve a slim and small face.


However, due to the complexity of the surgery, a detailed, customized plan must be developed. Since the surgery involves modifying the skeleton, improper execution can lead to complications with facial nerves. Therefore, only necessary surgeries should be conducted under a customized plan to ensure safety.


If the results of the surgery are unsatisfactory or if complications arise post-surgery, secondary facial contouring surgery may be necessary. This type of revision surgery is more challenging due to the adhesion of bones or muscles and reduced space for nerves or bones compared to the initial surgery. It is crucial to be even more cautious than the first surgery, so consulting with experienced and skilled professionals is advisable.


Initially, a detailed examination of the bones and muscles using 3D-CT should be conducted to determine the surgical method and approach. Analyzing the causes thoroughly to prevent the need for further revisions and devising a plan that ensures stability is important.


Additionally, systematic post-operative management should be carried out to enhance satisfaction. Choosing a clinic with a robust post-operative care program ensures a stable completion of the surgery.


Revision facial contouring surgery must be carefully considered and scheduled appropriately. Therefore, it is essential to consult with experienced professionals and establish a customized surgical plan.
