Safe Quick Zygoma Reduction is proper method for patient who wants reduce lateral zygoma. Different with 3D Zygoma Reduction, the procedure does not need microplate screw fixation. Because zygoma body is  partially cut, so no need screw fixation.  Many patients worry about zygoma bone sagging after procedure, but this method is not 'FULL' cut, which means no risk of sagging. * 3DCT Before and After The procedure is not for every patient, procedure would be changed depending on patients' zygoma shape, preference and etc. Thus, patient needs to ask and discuss about proper procedure with doctor.
