What methods are there to reduce cheekbones?
High cheekbones plastic methods: grinding method and osteotomy method.

1, high cheekbone plastic grinding method: it is suitable for those with thick cheekbones, grinding off some bones protruding forward to achieve the purpose of reducing cheekbones, and directly chiseling off cortical bones outside zygomatic body and zygomatic arch to reduce zygomatic complex. Although the amount of bone cutting is limited, this operation can be carried out through local approaches such as mouth, ear, lower eyelid and outer canthus, and the wound is small. It is still an effective surgical method for patients with simple zygomatic protrusion.

2. High cheekbone plastic osteotomy: it is suitable for those whose cheekbones and zygomatic arches bulge outward and the posterior space of cheekbones widens. After osteotomy, the zygomatic arch moves backward and inward to achieve the goal of reducing the zygomatic bone. Through osteotomy, the prominent zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch are separated and displaced, and the zygomatic complex is retracted, and the width of zygomatic surface is particularly reduced, which is very suitable for patients with prominent zygomatic body and zygomatic arch.

operating procedure

1, face, neck and mouth disinfection;

2. Local anesthesia or general anesthesia;

3. Make an incision from the mouth, or make a forehead incision from the part where the hair grows;

4. Gradually expose the parts that need plastic surgery (cheekbones) to avoid hurting blood vessels and facial nerves;

5. Using the power system of microsurgery to repair cheekbones, put the miniature saw into the mouth and cut or polish the bone;

6. Suture and dressing.

Because the incision is in the mouth or scalp with hair, there are generally no traces of surgical incision.

Preoperative features: wide cheekbones, prominent cheekbones, small mandibular angle and blunt chin.

Postoperative changes: after grinding cheekbones and mandibular angles, the face is oval and the lines are smooth.

Precautions before operation

1, oral examination should be done before operation to ensure that there are no sources of oral infection, such as dental caries, periodontitis and oral ulcers. And don't do surgery until it is cured.

2. Before the operation, the doctor should be informed in detail whether he is healthy or not, and whether there are important organic diseases, such as no heart disease, no hepatitis, nephritis, pneumonia and other diseases.

3. Routine health checks such as preoperative blood routine, urine routine, chest X-ray and electrocardiogram should also be done.

4, female surgery should avoid menstrual period.
