What is the solution to improve protruded lateral cheekbone?


When cheekbone is protruded to the side, facial width would look wide and facial line becomes wavy so it makes a wild look. To solve this issue, many people are considered of undergoing plastic surgery.

Cheekbone reduction surgery is a surgery method that cuts the part of cheekbone and rotates it to inside. It reduces lateral cheekbone and makes a slimmer middle face so whole face line would look soft.

This surgery method in operating the surgical method, osteotomies are made amongst the orbit and cheekbones and the reduction range may vary depending on the location of osteotomies.

Osteotomy is usually done by L-shaped or C-shaped, but ‘High-L osteotomy’ is suitable for improving severe protruded lateral cheekbone because its osteotomy is conducted at a high location which is the closest to the orbit bone.

As the location of cheekbone osteotomy becomes higher, the effect of face size reduction becomes stronger and also the maximum protruded point moves towards front so that face width will be reduced and the front cheekbone will be voluminous.


To maximize safety and effectiveness of surgery, the right location for osteotomy should be figured out by the experienced specialist before the surgery.
