Midface Reduction and a Straight Cheekbone Line: What Causes Asymmetry?

This video presents a case of a patient concerned about a wide midface and prominent cheekbones, despite having a small overall face. The director explains that the cheekbones are not the primary cause of asymmetry, and that surgery to reposition the cheekbones below the eyes to create a straight line can achieve various effects, including temple reduction, improved anterior cheekbone volume, asymmetry correction, and midface reduction. It can be observed that the face has already become smaller and more aesthetically pleasing by the 2-month mark post-surgery. The director emphasizes that combining this with a skin tightening device treatment tailored to the patient's skin type will result in an even smaller face within a year. Detailed explanations on swelling management and asymmetry improvement were also provided, enhancing patient satisfaction. On Clinic Director | Last reviewed 2026-05-23
