Cheekbone Reduction

Cheekbone Reduction is a Facial Contouring Surgery that improves the facial contour from the front, side, and 45-degree angles by osteotomizing protruding cheekbones and moving and reducing them posterolaterally. ID Hospital considers both the protruding cheekbone area and fixation stability without excessive resection through High-L osteotomy based on the MMP, the cheekbone’s point of maximum prominence, 3D-CT-based surgical planning, and titanium fixation pins.

How is ID High-L Cheekbone Reduction different in terms of osteotomy technique?

Conventional osteotomy (Low-L)

Because the osteotomy does not include the most prominent area of the cheekbone at the 45-degree angle, cheekbone reduction may be minimal and complications may occur.

ID High-L Osteotomy

Because the MMP, the most prominent part of the cheekbone, is reduced through High-L osteotomy, the cheekbones can be maximally reduced without excessive resection, providing results from every angle, including the front, side, and 45-degree view.

How is ID Quick Cheekbone Reduction different in terms of fixation method?

Conventional method

Fixation is omitted after osteotomy, which may cause the bone segments to separate or result in insufficient cheekbone reduction.

ID Quick Cheekbone Reduction

ID’s proprietary complete fixation method secures the bone after osteotomy to prevent separation and enhance the cheekbone reduction effect.

Surgical Method

STEP 1. Osteotomy Planning with 3D-CT

3D-CT is used to avoid facial nerve injury and determine the amount and location of osteotomy for optimal results.

STEP 2. Oblique Osteotomy and Posterolateral Movement

An oblique osteotomy technique moves a greater amount of cheekbone posterolaterally to provide results from every angle.

STEP 3. Titanium Fixation Pin Fixation

Titanium fixation pins developed by ID minimize gaps at the cut surfaces, helping bone union and preventing sagging.
