ANSWER Quick Cheekbone Reduction
Quick cheekbone reduction cuts and repositions the protruding zygoma inward through minimal incisions inside the mouth and beside the ear. ANSWER Plastic Surgery limits incision and dissection to what is needed, reducing the recovery burden and aiming for a smooth midface line with minimal cheek sagging.
When Quick Cheekbone Reduction is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Protruding 45-degree cheekbones
The cheekbones stand out at a 45-degree angle, making the face look wide
Protruding front cheekbones
Prominent front cheekbones make you look stern or older
Facial asymmetry
Left–right differences in cheekbone height or protrusion unbalance the face
Wanting a softer impression
Cheekbones make you look fierce and you want a gentler image
CUSTOM DESIGN
Movement planned on 3D analysis
Cheekbones protrude in different directions and degrees for everyone. ANSWER Plastic Surgery maps the protrusion type and asymmetry precisely with 3D CT, planning the movement and fixation positions to the millimeter with the jawline and forehead proportions in view.
- 13D CT analysis of protrusion direction, thickness, and asymmetry
- 2Line proportions designed from forehead to cheekbone to jaw
- 3Individual movement plans reflecting left–right differences
ANSWER POINT
Minimal incision, firm fixation
Minimal-incision dissection limits tissue damage, and after the osteotomy the moved bone is firmly fixed so union proceeds stably. Reduced dissection and preserved ligaments aim to ease the risk of cheek sagging.
- 1Minimal incisions inside the mouth and beside the ear limit scar exposure
- 2Firm fixation of the moved zygoma supports stable union
- 3Minimal soft-tissue dissection eases sagging concerns

ANSWER Quick Cheekbone Reduction: How It's Done
Precise Diagnosis
3D CT and examination establish the protrusion type, asymmetry, and soft-tissue condition.
Surgical Design
Movement amounts and fixation positions are planned and the expected line discussed.
Osteotomy & Fixation
Through minimal incisions, the zygoma is cut, moved to the planned position, and fixed.
Recovery Care
Swelling is monitored while oral hygiene, diet, and lifestyle guidance proceeds in stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWill my cheeks sag after cheekbone reduction?
Extensive dissection can contribute to sagging, so ANSWER minimizes dissection and fixes the bone firmly to reduce that burden. Outcomes still vary with skin elasticity and individual condition, making pre-operative diagnosis important.
QHow long does the swelling last?
Major swelling usually eases within about 2 weeks, while residual swelling resolves gradually over months as the line settles. Recovery speed varies, and regular follow-up visits support your care.
QWhen can I eat normally?
With an intraoral incision, start with liquid and soft foods. Most patients transition to regular meals over 1–2 weeks, and we provide oral-rinse and hygiene instructions.
