How long does it take to see results after malar reduction?

Generally, malar bone reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves making incisions on the skin surface and dissecting down layer by layer to the zygomatic bone area. An appropriate amount of bone tissue is removed using osteotomy instruments to reduce the prominence of the cheekbones. It usually takes 3–6 months to see the final results, depending on individual physical conditions and postoperative care.

If the patient has good physical health and fast recovery ability, along with proper postoperative care, results may become visible within 1–3 months. However, if the patient has poor physical condition and slower healing, or if postoperative care is inadequate leading to complications or discomfort, the time required to see noticeable results may be prolonged, typically taking 3–6 months.
