Treatment Overview
Zygomatic Arch Implant Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the prominence and contour of the cheekbone area. By placing a biocompatible implant along the zygomatic arch, surgeons can create higher, more defined cheekbones and improve facial symmetry.
In Korea, surgeons use advanced 3D imaging and precision surgical techniques to customize implants for each patient’s facial structure, ensuring natural, harmonious results that complement the midface, jawline, and overall facial proportions.
Purpose & Benefits

- Creates a more youthful, lifted appearance
- Improves facial symmetry and balance
- Corrects flat or under-projected zygomatic arch
- Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results
- Can be combined with submalar, premaxillary, or orbital rim implants for full midface enhancement
Ideal Candidates
