Zygoma Reduction


We will create a smooth and balanced face from any angle

What is Zygoma Reduction?

Cheekbones play an important role in defining the shape of the face. Excessively prominent cheekbones may create a wide, harsh-looking and old face. Zygoma reduction surgery, also known as cheekbone reduction surgery, helps decrease the size of your cheekbones and reposition them to achieve a more sculpted, refined and younger facial shape.

Zygoma Reduction Surgery is recommended if:

  • You have a wide face due to protruded cheekbones.


  • You have an imbalanced facial shape.


  • You want to achieve an overall younger look.


  • You want to achieve a more feminine look.


  • You have an asymmetrical  face.

Zygoma Reduction Surgery Steps

1. Minimal incision is made inside the mouth.

Girin performs only intraoral incision for Zygoma reduction with an Endoscopic system, thus does not make any visible scarring.

2. L- shaped Osteotomy is performed in the front side of the cheekbone, and the zygoma arch is cut with a endoscopic system in the far back side of the cheekbone.

This step is only unique to GIRIN. After cutting the cheekbone we do not remove a certain part of the bone, instead, we reposition the bone to maximize the reduced volume the and ensure there will be no skin sagging after the surgery.

3. The cheekbone is rotated inwards and backward and reattached in the desired place to get a slim but also proportionate facial feature.

4. The cheekbones are fixated by screws in 4 points so that there will be no non-union or change of shape. This step is only unique to GIRIN.

Why GIRIN focuses in 4 Point Fixation

  • The cheekbone is closely connected with the masseter muscle that is responsible for chewing, speaking, and expressing emotions.


  • If the cheekbone is not reattached and fixed properly, using the masseter muscle may cause the dislocation of the loosely attached cheekbone or the fracture of the materials use to fix the cheekbone.


  • Improper fixation of the cheekbone may cause side effects such as non-union and skin sagging.
