[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.

[ARTICLE] Dr. Soonbeom Kwon of ARC Plastic Surgery Gives Lecture on Zygoma Reduction at ‘APS KOREA 2025’

Dr. Soonbeom Kwon, Chief Director of ARC Plastic Surgery Clinic, presented his research on zygoma reduction techniques at APS KOREA 2025 (Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Korea 2025), an international aesthetic plastic surgery conference held on April 19 at Seoul Dragon City. APS KOREA is Korea’s leading academic conference in aesthetic plastic surgery, held annually since 1985. It brings together plastic surgeons from Korea and abroad to share the latest insights and research findings. At this year’s event, Dr. Kwon delivered a lecture titled “Zygoma Surgery Methods Based on Facial Conditions,” drawing from his extensive experience in facial contouring. He introduced the high-L and low-L osteotomy techniques tailored to various patient cases and shared clinical outcomes of each. In his presentation, Dr. Kwon emphasized that zygoma reduction is not merely a procedure to reduce bone size, but one that requires a precise, proportional approach considering the overall balance of the face. As the zygomatic bone plays a central role in determining facial contour, excessive resection can result in an elongated or artificial appearance, making personalized surgical design essential. Dr. Kwon also highlighted the importance of thoroughly analyzing the patient’s facial bone structure, soft tissues, and zygoma morphology to refine surgical techniques. He stressed the need for surgical planning that balances both aesthetic outcomes and functional safety. Dr. Kwon continues to contribute to the advancement of plastic surgery techniques through active academic participation and research, fostering collaboration with professionals both in Korea and around the world. – Medical Today, Reporter Seongwoo Cho (ostin0284@mdtoday.co.kr)
