Introduction
To improve facial harmony, buccal fat removal or osteotomy surgery can be performed to reduce prominent zygomatic bones. The specific steps of osteotomy include preoperative examination, general anesthesia, making incisions, removing excess bone, hemostasis, and suturing. Swelling is expected after the surgery, and proper postoperative care is essential even after the swelling subsides. For greater safety during the procedure, it is recommended to undergo surgery at a professional medical facility.
Prominent cheekbones can make a person appear older and disrupt the overall harmony of facial features. Nowadays, part of the zygomatic bone can be removed through osteotomy surgery to improve cheekbone prominence. The common surgical steps are as follows:
1. Preoperative examination: including blood tests, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), ultrasound (B-scan), etc.;
2. Anesthesia: Osteotomy surgery usually involves general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation is safer during this process, helping prevent aspiration during the procedure;
3. Incision and bone reduction: An incision is made in concealed areas such as the hairline. Muscles and bones are separated, and excess bone is removed. For cases with poor zygomatic morphology, micro reciprocating saws, osteotomes, or bone rongeurs may be used for shaping;
4. Suturing: Hemostasis is achieved by applying medical cotton balls with gentle pressure, then the incision is sutured, concluding the surgery.
