668. <Zygoma Reconstruction Surgery>
Zygoma reconstruction is performed when the cheekbone (zygoma) is deformed due to trauma, tumor removal, congenital conditions, or previous surgeries. Severe cases may require repositioning the bone or placing an artificial implant to restore symmetry and structure.Since the zygoma supports the orbit, its collapse can lead to enophthalmos (sunken eye). Therefore, correcting both the bone and the orbit is often necessary. Advanced techniques like 3D-printed implants, mirroring of the unaffected side, and navigation systems help ensure precision. Surgical guides may also be used for accurate implant placement.
When synthetic implants aren't preferred, autologous tissues like jawbone (from mandibular contouring), rib, or skull can be used. In milder cases, microparticulated costal cartilage mixed with fibrin glue can reconstruct the area like sculpting clay.
Zygoma reconstruction is more than cosmetic—it restores facial structure and function. Preoperative checks, especially for sinus health, are essential to avoid complications.
