Cheekbone reduction. Can it yield good results?

Question

Hi doctors, If someone with wide zygomatic bone was to get a reduction, can it yield good results or is it always a bad idea? Thank you

In my opinion, modest cheek bone reduction can yield reasonable results.  Having said that soft tissue healing can be unpredictable.  Please consult with several board certified plastic surgeons or board certified facial plastic surgeons.

It would be very hard to find out what kind of procedure you may need without detailed clinical evaluation or good series of photos. For that reason, you first step should be a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to determine what is the underlying anatomical cause of your problem. Good luck.
