Prominent malar eminences are considered aesthetic and have been equated with a more youthful appearance. The precise area for accentuation and the surgical method for altering contour have not been universally agreed upon. A new technique for evaluation is suggested, and a surgical osteotomy for malar contouring is described. Twenty-one patients have undergone treatment; 16 procedures were bilateral and 5 were unilateral. The longest postoperative follow-up is 20 months and the shortest, 6 months. Results have shown symmetry, natural contour, good patient acceptance, and no significant complications. These two new techniques, when combined with existing knowledge and experience, should enhance the ability to analyze and alter the malar complex.
突出的颧骨被认为具有美感，并与更年轻的外观相关联。然而，关于精确的突出区域以及改变轮廓的手术方法，尚未达成普遍共识。本文提出了一种新的评估技术，并描述了一种用于颧骨轮廓塑形的手术截骨术。21例患者接受了治疗，其中16例为双侧手术，5例为单侧手术。术后最长随访时间为20个月，最短为6个月。结果显示面部对称、轮廓自然、患者接受度良好，且无明显并发症。这两种新技术与现有知识和经验相结合，应能提高分析和改变颧骨复合体的能力。
