Cheek bone reduction surgery aims to improve a rough and masculine image projected through protruding cheek bones. Precise excision and relocation is key in creating a soft and three-dimensional contour line. Reduction through grinding has shown limitations in aesthetics, creating unnatural contour lines, hence the surgical method of fracturing the cheekbones and relocating is preferred.

As each patient’s cheekbone structure and thickness is different, it is critical to carry out a comprehensive examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This will also ensure minimal chances of side effects such as saggy cheeks once the bones are fixated, creating a small, soft and natural line around the cheekbones from all angles. At Zeah Dental Hospital, proficient surgeons can offer various surgical methods, tailored to each patient, to ensure satisfactory aesthetic improvements.
