What is Zygoma Reduction?.
Zygoma reduction, also known as cheekbone reduction surgery, which affects the cheekbones area, making it lower from 0,5 to 2 cm, helping the face become more feminine, balanced and harmonious.
This method is performed through the incision in the oral cavity combined with an external incision of about 1 cm in the sideburn area in front of the ear to hide the scar. The surgeon will dissect to create a cavity and simultaneously lower the inner and outer cheekbones to create balance and harmony for the face.
