What is cheekbone surgery? Osteotomy in New York explained
The mid-face or cheek area is an unmistakable facial highlight. Prominent cheekbones may be a noticeable feature among individuals of certain ethnicities, such as Asian patients. A patient may be self-conscious because these bones can make their overall face look disproportionately wide. Cheekbone reduction or osteotomy is often suggested, during which bones are skillfully cut and then repositioned to lower the height of the cheeks. Bone settles naturally as it heals, eliminating the need for “conventional” invasive plates and wires. Depending on your needs and goals, bone may also be filed down or shaved to narrow wide features for a more subtle reshaping effect. Prior to undergoing surgery, Dr. Kwan will explain the process to patients so they know exactly what to expect following their procedure. Recovery, costs, risks, and other factors vary by the technique used, and Dr. Kwan is among a select group of U.S. specialists equipped to offer osteotomies for cosmetic enhancement, in addition to bone burring.
