Sunken cheekbones? Natural improvement with bone graft

Cheekbone Indentation: A Stair-Step Effect, Not Non-Union, Fixed by Bone Grafting

This video discusses the causes and improvement process for indentations in the cheekbone area. The indentation on the patient's right cheekbone was not due to a bone gap, but rather a shadow created by a protruding bone near the sideburns and a step-like deformity of the cheekbone. The medical team surgically smoothed the two-layered bone into a single layer and performed bone grafting on the deficient areas to achieve improvement. After the surgery, the patient achieved a smooth facial line with the indentations gone and a reduced mid-face. It is emphasized that this procedure is particularly more complex for male patients.
