An overdeveloped, large, and protruding cheekbones can make one's face look larger, wider, and fierce. As the mid part of the face is an important factor that determines the impression and appearance of the face, cheekbone reduction surgery will be able to improve it.

The key to successful cheekbone reduction surgery is not always to cut out the protruding bones as much as possible. If you reduce the bone out a lot unconditionally, instead of a smooth and slimmer face, your face can rather be flat, unnatural, and disproportionally long. The important thing is to reduce the bones, remove some but keep enough amount of facial bones to fix them into the most beautiful and proportionally balanced position.

The cheekbones do not exist by themselves but are connected to the masticatory muscles that chew, speak, and make expressions. Therefore, if a large amount of bones are cut and not fixed properly, both the muscles and the bones can move down together, which can cause the bones to spread and fall apart. This is why side effects such as sagging cheeks and bone separations occur.

Therefore, in the case of surgery, it is necessary to cut only the appropriate amount and retain enough bone to fix it into a beautiful position and angle. Moreover, DA Turning Zygoma Reduction will also turn the cheekbone into the most beautiful position so that, the reduction effect can be further enhanced, and a slimmer and beautiful facial line can be created.

In order to fix the reattached bone more firmly and improve the natural appearance, it is better to refrain from using non-fixing, melting pins, or wires. What should be paid attention to is the part that prevents sagging of the cheeks through upper lifting and elastic fixation after surgery. In this method, the muscle periosteum connected to the cheekbones and the fat and skin covering it is pulled tight and fixed upwards. As a result, it is possible to improve skin elasticity and at the same time reduce concerns about sagging skins after the surgery.

If you are concerned about sagging cheeks, you should remove fat from the cheekbones. The buccal fats are located long from the temple to the cheekbones, passing through the inside of the cheekbones. The greater the amount of fat, the more prominent it looks after surgery and the sagging cheeks, so it is removed appropriately and fixed upwards together with the skin soft tissue to prevent sagging.

Dr. Hobin Lee, Facial Contouring surgery specialist and board-certified surgeon of DA Plastic Surgery Clinic said, “Since a cheekbone cannot be solved by just cutting the protruding part, it is necessary to discuss the appropriate amount of reduction with the specialist surgeon and design it in consideration of the harmony between the individual face shape and bone size, as well as other features such as skins and fats. He also said, Natural improvement and the successful result can only be expected only when the bone is reduced appropriately and fixated properly with the correct method, so a surgical plan and decision should be made after discussing it with the specialist surgeon performing the operation based on various cases of clinical experience and academic research results.​
