[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. The “High-L Zygoma Reduction”...

[ARTICLES] Dr. Kwon Soon Beom of ARC Plastic Surgery Presents Cheekbone Lifting Techniques at APS KOREA 2026

Dr. Kwon Soon Beom, the Chief Director of ARC Plastic Surgery, participated in the international academic conference, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Korea 2026 (APS KOREA 2026), where he presented his zygoma (cheekbone) lifting surgical techniques based on extensive clinical experience. In this presentation, he covered a range of clinical cases related to cheekbone lifting, with a focus on individualized surgical approaches tailored to each patient's unique characteristics. Dr. Kwon explained that his surgical planning is based on years of accumulated case data, incorporating a comprehensive analysis of anatomical factors such as facial bone structure, skin elasticity, and the degree of aging. In particular, he introduced a lifting technique utilizing Endotine devices to ensure stable tissue fixation while achieving natural contour changes. He emphasized that moving away from standardized procedures and adopting a customized approach based on each patient's condition and needs is a key factor in achieving optimal outcomes. Dr. Kwon stated, “Since the cheekbone area significantly influences overall facial impression, a precise approach that considers individual structural differences is essential. We are committed to delivering more stable and refined results through personalized surgical planning based on clinical data.” This presentation provided an opportunity to share surgical methods and real-world applications grounded in actual clinical experience.
