Cheekbone Reduction

Cheekbones can be very prominent in some Asians and this is an area of great concern. Many patients are often very self conscious of a widened face. For patients with very wide and prominent cheekbones, breaking and resettling the bone in a reduced position will result in a narrow face. This is done through a small incision inside the mouth. Filing down the cheekbone through an incision in the mouth may be all that is required. There is no need for plates and wires and the bone heals in this new position.
