Enhance your facial structure with cheek reduction surgery in Huntington Beach, CA
By Thomas T. Nguyen, M.D
What is cheekbone reduction?
Men and women who have prominent cheekbones and want to address the height, width, and shape of them may be a good candidate for cheekbone reduction surgery. This plastic surgery approach offers facial rebalancing and harmony with shaving the cheekbones, reducing imperfections that may impact one’s overall appearance. Additionally, our professionals use discreet locations to create the incisions for surgery to eliminate any visible scarring on the facial area.During cheekbone reduction surgery, the bone tissue is filed down or “shaved” when there are minor changes to make. Alternatively, if patients have very prominent cheekbones that need to be reduced, they may have a technique called “osteotomy” performed. This is more complex and requires cutting and repositioning the cheekbones. This may be done in addition to cheekbone shaving for a smooth and dramatic improvement.
What can cheekbone reduction surgery achieve?
Patients who undergo this procedure will enjoy:- Softer facial features
- A slenderer facial appearance
- Improved self-confidence
Am I ready for cheekbone reduction?
Dr. Thuan Nguyen will evaluate the facial structure and make recommendations as to what technique should be used to obtain results. Patients will schedule their surgical procedure, which is often done with general anesthesia at our surgical location. Patients are encouraged to ask their doctor about what to expect the day of treatment, as well as discuss their recovery. The side effects and length of time required for recovery will vary greatly, depending on the type of cheekbone reduction performed and the invasiveness of the procedure. Most patients can expect to spend several weeks for a full recovery, experiencing most of the swelling, numbness, and discomfort during the first week after treatment. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and typically fade with time. Patients need to contact their doctor if they have any concerns and should attend their post-operative follow-up to ensure the procedure has produced the desired results without infection or visible scarring.
