Abstract

Reduction malarplasty is one of the common aesthetic procedures performed in the Orient, although it is rarely performed in the West. Previously described techniques for malar reduction include shaving the prominent portion and contouring the outer surface of the malar complex utilizing a variety of surgical approaches. We describe a technique for malar reduction involving a coronal approach followed by either an in situ transposition osteoplasty or the removal of the malar complex and contouring of the bone with replacement as a free bone graft. We have performed this procedure on 94 patients with good results.
