Cheekbone Reduction

This procedure reduces facial width and cheekbone volume by cutting prominent cheekbones and moving them inward. The facial structure is analyzed with 3D CT, and the 45-degree cheekbones and posterior cheekbones are cut to reduce cheek sagging, then secured with dual fixation using plates and wires.

We create a cheekbone line that suits you best by finding balance in your overall Facial Contouring Surgery.

Recommended for the following

· Severely prominent cheekbones · A Face that appears wide due to the cheekbones · A strong-looking impression caused by cheekbones · Prominent side or front cheekbones · An uneven facial line due to cheekbone prominence

Wonderful Cheekbone Reduction POINTS
