WOORI Cheekbone Reduction

Does removing more bone lead to better Cheekbone Reduction results?

NO! The most important aspect of Cheekbone Reduction is fixation.

After customized bone resection, the cheekbone must be repositioned appropriately and securely fixed to prevent concerns about complications such as cheek sagging and nonunion.

Designed to prevent nonunion and cheek sagging

3D Cheekbone Reduction

The cheekbones are important structures located on both sides of the center of the Face that determine the facial contour line.

Cheekbone Reduction helps reduce the size of the Face by reducing protruding cheekbones. As Asians often have prominent 45-degree cheekbones and lateral cheekbones, three-dimensional correction through Cheekbone Reduction is the key to surgery.

Appropriate Repositioning and Minimal Dissection

Minimizes bone resection through a minimal Dissection technique and performs osteotomy according to cheekbone repositioning to help prevent cheek sagging.

Secure Fixation

Securely fixes the cheekbones in close contact to prevent separation, helping prevent complications such as nonunion and sagging.

3D Cheekbone Reduction Key Points

Lateral Cheekbone Reduction

When the lateral cheekbone (zygomatic arch) is curved and protruding, an incision is made in the sideburn area to perform osteotomy of the cheekbone body and zygomatic arch, then reposition them appropriately. Rather than simple non-fixation, precise osteotomy and fixation reduce the lateral cheekbones, minimizing concerns about postoperative skin or cheek sagging.

Expected Improvements

Improved lateral cheekbone contour

A softer-looking impression

Improved frontal and lateral volume

Reduced facial width

45° Cheekbone Reduction

When the cheekbone is developed from the front toward the side, an intraoral incision is used to reduce the 45-degree cheekbone and decrease facial width from the side. In addition, by securely fixing the bone upward while considering skin and cheek sagging during surgery, a Lifting effect may also be expected.

Expected Improvements

Improved 45° cheekbone contour

Improved protruding-looking cheekbones

Improved lateral facial volume

Reduced facial width

Facial Contouring Surgery does not necessarily make the Face slimmer simply by removing more bone.

It is important to remove only what is needed according to each individual's facial structure and secure it firmly.

3D Facial Analysis SYSTEM

Through 3D analysis, we precisely evaluate facial characteristics, bone shape and size, nerve pathways, and Soft Tissue such as muscle and skin layers before carefully planning surgery. Results can be checked with 3D-CT scans before and after surgery, and regular examinations are also available.

Candidates for 3D Cheekbone Reduction

- When prominent cheekbones make the Face appear generally larger

- When protruding cheekbones create an unbalanced facial contour

- When both the side and front portions of the cheekbones are prominent

- When prominent cheekbones make the eyes appear smaller or the nose appear lower

- When the area below the cheekbones is sunken, making the Face appear shadowed
