MACS Uniqueness: Details Make the Difference

Point 1.Invisible Intraoral Incision
At MACS, cheekbone reduction is performed through a very small intraoral incision of only 2-3 cm. We minimize dissection of the skin and fascia to significantly reduce the possibility of sagging and promote faster recovery.

Point 2.Definite Upward Fixation
MACS does not simply push the osteotomized cheekbone inward. We perform upward fixation, moving it slightly higher than its current position to drastically reduce the possibility of sagging. Both the front and back of the cheekbone are firmly fixed to significantly reduce non-union risk.

Point 3.Posterior Cheekbone Shaving
We go beyond just repositioning the bone. For a more definite and natural line, we reduce the osteotomy portion while appropriately shaving the posterior zygoma to complete a slim line from every angle.

Please Pay Attention!

Why MACS Insists on Upward Fixation!

The cheekbones are connected to the masseter muscle, used daily for chewing, speaking, and expressions.
Cheekbones that are not firmly fixed can move along with the masseter muscle.

MACS upward fixation positions the bone higher than before and uses
double fixation to ensure it stays in place, significantly lowering the possibility of non-union or sagging.

Q.
How much can the cheekbones be pushed in during surgery?

Pushing the cheekbones in as much as possible doesn't necessarily make the face more beautiful.
To increase the effectiveness of the surgery, a plan must be made considering each patient's anatomical limits.
Indiscriminately pushing them in can lead to situations where the mouth won't open, so accurate diagnosis before surgery is most important.

Q.
Is it possible to reduce the front cheekbones?

The areas that benefit most from reduction surgery are the side cheekbones and the 45-degree cheekbones.
If the front cheekbones right under the eyes look particularly large, it's often due to soft tissue like skin, fat, and muscle, so a method to reduce front cheek fat should be pursued.

Q.
Can sensory abnormalities occur after cheekbone surgery?

If the bone is cut too close to the eye socket to push the cheekbones in excessively, related nerves or blood vessels can be damaged. Also, since thin nerves pass around the surgical site, temporary sensory degradation can occur if those parts are affected.
