What is Cheekbone Reduction Surgery?
Cheekbone reduction surgery, also called ‘zygoma reduction surgery, is a procedure that aims to achieve a natural and balanced look by adjusting the size and position of the cheekbones. Rather than simply removing a significant amount of bone, this surgery takes into consideration the harmony with the surrounding facial bones. The goal is to create a more proportionate appearance, without protrusion or imbalance.

How is a Cheekbone Reduction Done?
In the past, the prevailing notion was that removing a significant portion of the cheekbones was the most effective approach. However, thanks to extensive experience and feedback from satisfied patients, a more effective treatment method has emerged. This newer approach involves minimizing the amount of bone removed and avoiding excessive procedures. By doing so, it reduces the burden on the patient and accelerates the recovery process. The key focus is to achieve satisfactory and effective results.




What Makes ThePLUS’ Cheekbone Reduction Different?
Cheekbone reduction surgery has different treatment methods depending on the direction and degree of the protrusion area.
Therefore, the most appropriate surgical method is selected by accurately diagnosing the protrusion area, direction, and severity of protrusion. Through preoperative analysis and in-depth CT imaging, THE PLUS Plastic Surgery strives to achieve a natural and satisfactory effect with minimal cheek excision whilst considering the harmony of the entire facial structure.
Common Method
This method involves cutting and removing a portion of the cheekbone. After removing the bone, the cheekbone tends to sink backward, which can lead to sagging of the surrounding soft tissue, muscles, and skin known as ‘cheek drooping’. Therefore, this method is not ideal.
* This method may be necessary for individuals with a significantly large cheekbone body structure.
ThePLUS Dr. Kim’s Method
Instead of cutting and removing the cheekbone, Dr. Kim only makes precise cuts to reposition the cheekbone by rotating it and moving it forward, greatly reducing the risks of ‘cheek drooping’.
* This method is sufficient and suitable in most cases of zygoma reduction, which is why Dr. Kim prefers this method.
