One of the most popular procedures among Dr. Edmund Kwan’s Asian patients is cheekbone reduction. Prominent cheekbones are a common feature in many Asians, and can be a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness for some. This is because large cheekbones can give the face a widened appearance. But as with all things, there is a solution. Extensive experience in facial reconstruction and ethnic surgery has helped Dr. Kwan to develop a special technique for narrowing the face.

Dr. Kwan narrows the face through a cheekbone reduction procedure. The first step involves breaking the cheekbone. The bone is then resettled in a reduced position.

The cheekbone reduction procedure is carried out through a small incision. Once the bone has been broken and resettled, it comfortably heals in the new position. Messy wires and plates are not needed for the healing process.

Once Dr. Kwan has assessed the “wideness” of a patient’s cheekbones, he may suggest a simple filing down of the cheekbone. This is done through an incision in the mouth. Patients who have slightly wide cheekbones can opt for this less invasive surgery. This cheekbone reduction option lets patients recover quickly and provides satisfactory results.

Dr. Kwan strongly believes that there is no need for a person to feel miserable about his or her appearance. Talk to Dr. Kwan today to find out more about aesthetic solutions that are customized for individual requirements.
