Am I A Good Candidate For Cheek and Jaw Reductions?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in cheekbone and jawbone reduction surgery. Am I a good candidate for this surgery?

A: Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. The question is not whether these facial bone reduction procedures can be performed on you, as they can, but whether in so doing they can achieve your aesthetic objectives. While most patients would say they want a smaller face it is important to recognize that the thickness and laxity of the overlying soft tissues will impact how such reductive changes are seen.
