Zygoma Reduction in Korea

01 — Overview

Zygoma Reduction

Reduce and reposition prominent cheekbones.

The zygoma forms the cheekbone body and arch. When prominent, it widens the face. Reduction uses precise cuts to reposition the bone, fixing it securely so the mid-face is narrowed without sagging. It is closely related to cheekbone reduction and often planned with full facial contouring.

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Is zygoma reduction the same as cheekbone reduction?

They refer to the same area. Reduction repositions the cheekbone body and arch to narrow the mid-face.

Secure fixation prevents sagging and ensures stable healing — a key part of the technique.

How long is recovery?

Plan 10–14 days in Seoul; swelling settles over weeks, final result over months.

Can it be combined with jaw surgery?

Yes — with V-line for complete facial contouring.
