Frequently Asked Questions
What is Malar Reduction surgery?
Malar Reduction, or cheekbone reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that involves carefully reshaping the cheekbones to reduce their prominence and width. This is achieved through precise surgical techniques to achieve a more refined, balanced, and harmonious facial contour.
What is the recovery period like for Malar Reduction?
Following Malar Reduction surgery, patients can expect swelling and bruising, particularly in the mid-face area, which will gradually subside over several weeks to months. Discomfort is managed with pain medication, and a soft diet may be recommended initially. Most individuals can return to light, non-strenuous activities within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery taking longer.
How is Malar Reduction performed?
Malar Reduction typically involves making small incisions, often inside the mouth or near the hairline, to access the cheekbone. The bone is then carefully reshaped, sometimes by shaving down excess bone or making precise cuts to reposition the bone, to achieve the desired reduction and contour. The technique used depends on the individual's anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Am I a good candidate for Malar Reduction in Los Angeles?
You may be a good candidate for Malar Reduction if you feel your cheekbones are too prominent or wide, creating a broad or overly angular facial appearance, and you desire a softer or more balanced look. A personal consultation with Dr. Kim at CK Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles is crucial to assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine if this procedure is suitable for you.
