plasticaddict Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hi All i had the same issue. i went for 2x zygoma reduction in Seoul, my face did looked smaller, but at the same time i noticed my cheeks become flatter. So i went to have cheekbone implant with Dr Oh at REGEN, unfortunately the result is not what i want. Whenever i smile, the implant went sideways instead of protruding front-out. And when i laughed, my face feels tight. So after a year, i went to another clinic to have it removed, and did threadlift and fat grafting on my cheeks. But sadly, it did not help. Now almost 1 year, i noticed my face start to droop abit, and my cheeks is very flat. I think perhaps the threadlift has gone. Would greatly appreciate if anyone who faced similar prob, went to a good clinic and found solution to this, please share ur experience. Thank u!

madambutterfly89 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hey PLastic surgery addict, You had cheekbones reduction done twice? Or did you mean-you had cheekbone reduction, then went back for cheek implants? Did Dr. Oh use silicone malar or submalar cheek implants? Have you though about custom cheek implants? Maybe talk to a cranialfacial surgeon about using an interpostional bone graft to help with your cheekbones? I hope you find a solution. I'm dealing with the same issues for a few years now-really hope to have my life back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticaddict Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I had cheekbone reduction twice in total, at a small clinic and at Regen. I think is submalar implants, i remember the implant is white, round and 'pop upwards'. But i dont know why the implant move to the side whenever i smile or laugh. Have u consult any doctor in seoul about your issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madambutterfly89 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think the reason it moved to the side is bc the surgeon didn't use screws to prevent implants from moving or shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco94 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hi all, I’m doing research into cheek reduction because it was one of the things recommended to me based on one online consult. I was wondering what lead to everyone on here to decide to go ahead with the surgery? Were you desperate? Did you have 100% faith in your doctor? I’m really sorry to hear about the experiences on here but I really do believe things will work out for you all. I’m very scared to make the same mistake.

iiibbystar Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I consulted with a craniofacial surgeon who also advised to use bone grafts to fill in the gap and reverse the zygoma reduction to bring the frame back to my face. Have you found a solution similar? I think i'm going to go ahead with this procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madambutterfly89 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 The only thing with bone graft is it’s unpredictable. Bone graft can reasorbed a bit. I consulted with almost all cranialfacial surgeon. DM me and we can chat more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyamilk Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi all, I had zygoma reduction and deeply regret the results. I am desperately searching for ways to reverse this. I spoke to Dr Lee at The Face Dental and he said it’s possible to push (rotate) it back out to create more volume in the front of the face. Does anyone have more information regarding this or any experience in this? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyamilk Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’m so sorry you are experiencing this madambutterfly89! I could have written the exact same post. My eyes have definitely changed since zygoma reduction. They look somewhat hollow and lifeless. I’m so depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_0h Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 This thread is seriously making me reconsider cheekbone reduction. I have prominent cheekbones but one is super prominent and larger than the other. I only want that one reduced slightly to be the same size as the other, I hope this is doable. Can you guys share the clinics where you had a bad experience with? That way people will know to avoid them. Of course, only if you are comfortable doing so.
