Malar Protrusion

Description

Malar protrusion, commonly referred to as “outward flaring zygomatic bones,” “malar prominence,” “prominent cheekbones,” “malar hypertrophy,” or “malar excess,” describes the condition where the cheekbones project more widely or sharply than desired, giving the face a broader or more angular appearance. Also known as pronounced zygoma or malar hyperplasia, this facial feature can create an unbalanced or strong look—especially in beauty cultures that favor a softer, slimmer, or “V-shaped” contour. Many people seek cheekbone reduction surgery (zygomatic reduction plasty or malarplasty) to address malar protrusion, aiming for a harmonious and natural-looking facial profile. South Korea has become a world-class destination for those seeking expert solutions for prominent cheekbones, thanks to its innovative surgical techniques, experienced surgeons, and dedication to natural, balanced results.
