High cheekbones or coarse, wide zygomatic bone structures can make the face appear angular and lack softness. The 360-degree Cheekbone Reduction method, performed by Dr. Huan, applies modern bone adjustment techniques to help create a more balanced, harmonious, and elegant facial contour. To understand more about this method, please refer to the content below.

What is 360-Degree Cheekbone Reduction surgery?

360-degree cheekbone reduction surgery is a method of intervening in the zygomatic bone structure to adjust the prominence and width of the cheekbones by acting on the zygomatic body and the zygomatic arch. This technique helps balance facial proportions and creates more harmonious facial contours post-surgery.

Advantages of the 360-degree Cheekbone Reduction method performed by Dr. Huan

360-degree cheekbone reduction performed by Dr. Huan focuses on overall balance tailored to each unique facial bone structure. Below are the highlights of this method:

  • Application of Cone Beam CT3D technology: Detailed assessment of the zygomatic body, zygomatic arch, and the degree of cheekbone prominence before surgery.
  • Personalized intervention plan: Designed for each client based on bone anatomy, facial proportions, and the actual level of adjustment required.
  • Modern surgical support equipment: Includes specialized ultrasonic saws, parallel saws, surgical guides, and titanium plates and screws.
  • Precise osteotomy and fixation: Precise bone cutting combined with secure plate and screw fixation helps return the bone to the correct, stable position for long-term results. 3D-printed, personalized fixation plates are used to ensure precise intervention.
  • In-depth anti-sagging technique: Achieved through limited dissection, appropriate bone cutting, correct vector adjustment, fixation with specialized plates/screws, and restoration of the mid-face support system and zygomatic ligaments.
  • Flexible combination: Can be combined with supplementary techniques such as mid-face lifting or deep-plane facelifts in suitable cases.

Dr. Nguyen Duy Huan has published international research on cheekbone reduction surgery, which has been recognized by the international medical community, affirming his professional impact in the field of maxillofacial aesthetic surgery.

Who is suitable for the 360-degree Cheekbone Reduction method?

Dr. Huan will directly examine and evaluate facial structure to provide appropriate indications for each client. Below are the cases commonly considered for 360-degree cheekbone reduction:

  • Clients with high cheekbones or prominence at a 45-degree angle.
  • Clients with wide cheekbones that make the face lack softness.
  • Clients with zygomatic arches that protrude to the sides.
  • Angular faces due to developed zygomatic bone structure, often accompanied by square/prominent jaws or short chins.
  • Clients wishing for a more balanced and harmonious overall facial appearance.

Notable cheekbone reduction techniques applied by Dr. Huan

Thanks to the combination of CT 3D diagnostic imaging technology, modern surgical equipment, and precise bone processing, Dr. Huan’s 360-degree cheekbone reduction technique improves high and wide cheekbones, aiming for soft, natural, and harmonious contours. Below are the notable techniques applied:

  • Limited dissection: Dr. Huan performs limited dissection to release soft tissue, avoiding retraction (cheek hollows), combined with a specialized 3D-printed plate/screw fixation technique to support 360-degree rotation to the desired angle. The bones fit closely, resulting in less bleeding, faster recovery, and more stable post-operative structure.
  • Mid-face lifting: Depending on specific conditions, the doctor may consider combining a mid-face lift to support overall facial harmony.
  • Specialized ultrasonic saws: Used to limit impact on surrounding soft tissue.
  • Parallel saws: Used to accurately determine the amount of bone to be removed.
  • Digital surgical guides: Support the determination of the precise osteotomy vector.
  • Specialized screw plate system: Helps connect bones closely, resulting in less post-operative bleeding and a more stable bone structure.
