01 — Overview

Zygoma Reduction

Zygoma reduction repositions prominent cheekbones inward and backward, narrowing the mid-face from both the front and the side.

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.
