Elasty plasty7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Once the MMP is calculated and the new position of the zygoma bone is planned then the surgery method is planned. ![]() Using these methods, the MMP is calculated to find the ideal placement of the zygomatic body and arch. MMP is measured using either the Hinderer Analysis or Wilkinson Analysis methods. MMP (maximal malar projection) is the most protruded portion of the outer contour of zygomatic complex in the basal three-quarters view. ĭuring consultation process, it is essential that the surgeon discusses the surgery outcome, and ensure that the candidate’s surgery expectations are realistic. Depending on the skin thickness and soft tissues, additional liposuction or lifting procedures may be recommended in conjunction with the zygoma reduction surgery. Further attention should be paid in evaluation of the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles and the underlying structure to accurately formulate the surgical plan. The assessment of the three-quarter oblique view is the most important as it determines the level of projection of the zygomatic bone. The surgeon evaluates the surgery candidate in person whilst simultaneously examining clinical photos, X-ray and CT scans in frontal, lateral, three-quarter oblique and basal views. Vital points that factor in the evaluation are the zygomatic width, volume, and position which determine the surgical technique best suited to the individual. Consultation and patient evaluation īefore surgery, the zygoma type should be identified in order to create a surgical plan suited to the individual. Therefore, special care should be taken to avoid contact with the infraorbital nerve, as damage to this nerve can result in possible loss of sensation or dysesthesia. ![]() The infraorbital nerve supplies skin and mucous membranes to the middle portion of the face and also supplies sensation to the skin of the cheek, upper lip, nose and upper teeth. The goal of a zygoma reduction surgery is not to flatten out the cheekbone but rather it is used to reduce the facial width while simultaneously creating a more three-dimensional projection to suit the overall facial contour of an individual. Due to the advanced surgical skills of Korean surgeons who perform facial contouring surgeries, the number of Asian people undergoing this surgery is increasing. Wide cheekbones are a characteristic facial trait of Asians, whose skull shapes tend to be more brachycephalic (broad, short skull) in comparison with Caucasian counterparts, whose skull shapes tend to be more dolichocephalic (narrow and long).This surgery is popular among Asians due to their inherent wide cheekbones. Zygoma reduction, also known as cheekbone reduction surgery, is a surgery used to reduce the facial width by excising part of the zygomatic bone and arch. ![]()
