This study presents a new surgical technique for reduction malarplasty, a common procedure in Asia for facial contouring. The described coronal approach with osteoplasty or bone grafting yielded good results in 94 patients.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery
  • Facial Reconstruction

Background:

  • Reduction malarplasty is a frequent aesthetic procedure in East Asia, but less common in Western countries.
  • Existing techniques for malar reduction involve shaving or contouring the malar complex through various surgical routes.
  • The prominent malar complex can be a target for aesthetic modification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical technique for malar reduction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this new approach for prominent cheekbones.

Main Methods:

  • A coronal approach was utilized for accessing the malar complex.
  • The technique involved either in situ transposition osteoplasty or removal and contouring of the malar bone as a free graft.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The procedure was performed on a cohort of 94 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • The described malar reduction technique demonstrated good patient outcomes.
    • Both in situ transposition osteoplasty and malar bone grafting were effective methods for reduction.

    Conclusions:

    • The coronal approach offers a viable surgical option for reduction malarplasty.
    • This technique provides satisfactory results for patients seeking malar complex reduction and facial contouring.
