Zygoma Reduction Surgery for a Smooth Facial Line: The Importance of Triple Fixation and 3D-CT Analysis
Protruding cheekbones are a primary cause of a harsh impression or making the face appear larger. Zygoma reduction surgery goes beyond simple bone resection; a three-dimensional design reflecting the individual's anatomical structure is key. 345 Plastic Surgery utilizes precise 3D-CT analysis and a proprietary triple fixation method to reduce concerns about cheek sagging and aim for a natural facial line from any angle.

The Beginning of a Soft First Impression: What is Zygoma Reduction Surgery?
The cheekbones, which balance the center of the face, are a crucial factor in determining your overall impression. If the cheekbones are excessively protruding or wide, the face may appear larger and the impression may seem harsh. Zygoma Reduction Surgery is a procedure that alleviates this protrusion to create smooth and soft facial contouring.
1:1 Customized Design Through Precise 3D-CT Analysis
For a successful facial contouring surgery, it is essential to accurately understand each individual's bone structure and soft tissue condition. At 345 Plastic Surgery, we utilize 3D-CT equipment to analyze the thickness of the cheekbones, the location of nerve lines, and skin thickness from multiple angles. Rather than unconditionally shaving off as much as possible like in the past, we meticulously plan the surgery to maintain a natural line considering the face's golden ratio.
Core Technology for Preventing Cheek Sagging: Triple Fixation Method
The most common concerns after zygoma surgery are 'cheek sagging' and 'nonunion' (a condition where the bones fail to heal together). To prevent this, 345 Plastic Surgery has introduced the triple fixation method.
- Strong Fixation Power: The osteotomized bone is firmly fixed in the exact position to prevent bone resorption or movement.
- Tight Fixation of Retaining Ligaments: Retaining ligaments that may become loose during the dissection process are pulled upward and tightly fixed to help prevent skin sagging.
- Maintaining Dimensionality: Rather than simple reduction, you can expect a natural contour by considering the three-dimensional volume of the face.
