Cheekbone Reduction

Overview

Cheekbone (zygoma) reduction narrows prominent cheekbones from the front and side, creating a smoother, slimmer facial contour.

Methods & types

• Osteotomy to reposition the cheekbone inward
• Fixation to prevent sagging
• Incisions hidden inside the mouth and at the sideburn

Who it’s for

• Prominent or wide cheekbones
• Wanting a softer front and side profile
• Often part of overall contouring

Recovery

• Notable swelling for 2–4 weeks
• Soft diet early on
• Final contour over 3–6 months

Approximate cost

USD 5,000–9,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Bone surgery requires an experienced contouring surgeon
• Improper fixation can cause sagging
