Zygoma reduction myths: midface reduction for a smaller face, bigger eyes

Many individuals consider cheekbone reduction surgery for a smaller facial appearance, but the core objective is midface reduction, not solely the cheekbones. The patient in this video also inquires about facial reduction. By repositioning the cheekbones inward to align with the eye bones, the facial width can be decreased, and the eye-to-face ratio can increase, creating the visual effect of larger eyes. Simply reducing only the cheekbones may be ineffective or lead to asymmetry. On Clinic aims for natural-looking changes by considering the overall proportion and balance of the face.
