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.

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.
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.
