A new reduction malarplasty technique improves facial contours using intraoral and preauricular incisions. This minimally invasive approach corrects cheekbone protrusion, offering a less invasive alternative for facial contouring procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Reduction malarplasty is a common procedure for facial contouring in East Asia.
  • Conventional methods utilize coronal incisions, which are invasive and may deter patients from elective cosmetic surgery.

Observation:

  • A novel reduction malarplasty technique has been developed to address the limitations of traditional approaches.
  • This method aims to improve facial contours with reduced invasiveness.

Findings:

  • The new technique involves osteotomies of the zygoma via an intraoral incision.
  • Osteotomy of the zygomatic arch is performed through a small preauricular incision, effectively correcting cheekbone protrusion.

Implications:

  • This intraoral and preauricular approach offers a less invasive surgical option for reduction malarplasty.
