Face reduction surgery, as its' name points out, reduces the size of the face. I was the first to use this term "face reduction", but now it has become a popular term. The facial outline is composed of the cheekbone at the middle part of the face and the jaw at the lower part of the face. Consequently, reducing the size of the cheekbone and the chin reduces the overall size of the face and makes it look more slender. Face reduction surgery involves carrying out both the jaw reduction surgery and the Cheekbone reduction surgery (Malar reduction surgery) at the same time. However, rather than just performing these surgeries together, we focus on the frontal outlook and the three dimensional outlook of the face. During face reduction surgery, the side cheekbones are mainly trimmed while when operating on the jaw, the cutting of the cortical bone and removal of muscle tissue is performed for a better frontal look.

It is often thought that cheekbone or jaw reduction surgeries are very big and dangerous operations. However, most often, these operations have fewer side effects than double eye lid or nose plastic surgeries. For the doctor equipped with good technical skill, there is little room for error or dangerous side effects.

Also, many mistakenly think that cheekbone and jaw reduction operations have large amounts of swelling and pain for a prolonged period. This is often not true if the plastic surgeon equipped with good technique and thus, 3-7 days is enough to return to ones' normal life. The recovery and end results are achieved faster than double eye lid or nose surgeries.
