Cheekbone Reduction

This procedure reduces prominent or wide cheekbones while moving and repositioning the cheekbone body and zygomatic arch as a single unit to create a natural facial contour. After osteotomy is performed to create space for the cheekbone to move inward, it is securely fixed in a position tailored to the individual face.

Features of Banobagi Cheekbone Reduction

Removing a large amount of cheekbone does not necessarily create a beautiful contour. When the cheekbones have an appropriate shape for the facial proportions, they can instead add vitality and dimension to the Face. The key to Cheekbone Reduction is repositioning the cheekbones to areas requiring volume to create a more beautiful facial line.

Point 1. A natural result through repositioning rather than bone removal

The zygomatic complex, including the cheekbone body and arch, is moved as a single unit to create a slimmer, more dimensional facial contour by repositioning the existing bone.

Point 2. Positioning tailored to each individual Face

Only the space needed for the cheekbone to move inward is removed, and the cheekbone is repositioned in the optimal location for each individual Face.

Point 3. Secure and durable fixation

The front and back of the bone contact area are fixed simultaneously, allowing the bone to settle firmly in place.

“A natural result through repositioning rather than bone removal” The key to Cheekbone Reduction is moving the zygomatic complex, including the cheekbone body and arch, as a single unit. Because the improved cheekbone is achieved by repositioning the existing bone, it naturally creates a slimmer, more dimensional facial contour.

Secure and durable cheekbone fixation

Banobagi calculates the force exerted by the temporalis muscle inside the zygomatic complex and simultaneously fixes the front and back of the bone contact area. With proper fixation, the body naturally heals and the bone settles more firmly in place. · Scientific analysis of the forces applied to the zygomatic complex · Mechanically secure fixation of the bone contact area · Simultaneous, secure fixation of the cheekbone body and zygomatic arch

Pre- and Postoperative Precautions

Before Surgery

· Fasting for 8 hours before surgery is required. · Please inform us in advance if you have any health concerns, such as a cold or respiratory illness. · Please be sure to disclose your past and current medical history, allergic reactions, and any medications you are taking.

After Surgery

· Swelling increases for up to 48–72 hours after surgery and then begins to subside rapidly. After about one month, some mild puffiness may remain. · For 3–4 days, consume liquids only. For one month, eat soft foods (porridge, soft noodles, tofu, eggs, etc.) for optimal results. · If there are sutures inside your mouth, rinse your mouth with clean water once every hour and with the antiseptic provided by the hospital once every two hours. · Avoid pressure or impact until the cheekbone becomes stable, and it is best not to sleep face-down for 2 weeks after surgery. · Apply cold compresses whenever you feel warmth during the first week after surgery. Then, apply warm compresses until one month after surgery (take care to avoid burns, as sensation may be reduced). · Light walking is allowed for one month. From the second month, exercise is permitted except for activities that may injure the jaw. There are no restrictions after 6 months. · Return to the hospital for treatment at 1 week and 3 weeks after surgery. · Alcohol and smoking are strictly prohibited for one month. Please avoid excessive exercise and stress. · If pain suddenly worsens with a sensation of heat after surgery, contact the hospital immediately, even if it is not your scheduled visit date.
