I have a long slim face but with prominent zygomatic body and arch. I am considering cheekbone reduction but it seems to me like a major operation. May I know what are the short-term and long-term risks of this surgery? What is the chance of these risks? If any short/long term complication happens, can they be treated? Would the Korean doctors have better methods/techniques as I heard that this is very common procedure there? Thanks a lot!

We address these issues regularly. There are ways to address this through the inside of your mouth and with an injection that will improve facial balance.
You do have flat cheeks. You may simply need cheek implants to adjust that area and provide some support for the lower part of your cheeks.
This is an in office procedure for me.
Hi yes, this is a very common complaints in asian patients. I have a lot of experience treating such contouring. You need to do zygoma reduction to address the cheekbone. You might also want to consider botox the masseter muscle and jawline contouring if you want a more egg face appearance...
