Malarplasty in Seoul
Refine and Balance Your Mid-Face with Cheekbone Reduction Surgery
Malarplasty, commonly referred to as cheekbone reduction surgery, is a facial contouring procedure that reshapes the zygomatic (malar) bones to reduce facial width and prominence. By refining the outer edges of the cheekbones, this surgery helps create a softer, more balanced appearance—particularly when viewed from the front or 45-degree angle.
Seoul is a global hub for advanced facial bone surgeries, and malarplasty is one of the most in-demand procedures for those seeking a more refined, feminine, or V-line facial contour.

What Is Malarplasty?
Malarplasty focuses on reducing the lateral projection of the cheekbones. This is accomplished through surgical cutting and repositioning of the zygomatic arch and body, often using L-shaped osteotomy techniques. The result is a narrower, more harmonious facial shape without compromising the natural expression or underlying structure.
This procedure is often combined with V-line surgery, jaw reduction, or chin contouring to complete a full facial transformation.
Ideal Candidates for Malarplasty
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have wide or prominent cheekbones
- Desire a slimmer or more oval-shaped face
- Experience facial imbalance or asymmetry
- Feel your face looks too angular or masculine
- Want permanent structural changes not possible with fillers or threads
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation & Imaging: 3D CT scanning is used to evaluate bone structure and simulate post-op results
- General Anesthesia: Ensures a pain-free experience during surgery
- Incisions: Made discreetly inside the mouth and along the hairline near the temples
- Osteotomy & Repositioning: The surgeon cuts and repositions the zygomatic bone inward
- Fixation: Titanium screws or plates are used to hold the bone in place
- Closure: Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible scars
Typical surgical time is 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Swelling & bruising: Common in the first 1–2 weeks
- Diet: Soft or liquid diet during early healing
- Return to routine: Light activities can resume after 7–10 days
- Compression bandage: May be worn to support proper bone healing
- Final results: Become visible after 4–6 weeks, with continued refinement for several months
