Abstract: Objective To evaluate the value of the clinical application of endoscopieally assisted re-duction malarplasty. Methods A total of 12 women (aged 21 -36 years) with prominent zygoma were re-shaped by the endoscope-assisted technique.

These patients were successfully treated for this new technique: reduced risk of operating injuries. Conclusion It is showed that the endoscopic assis-ted correction of prominent zygoma offers more satisfactory clinical results with a clear view of operation and a minimally invasive technique.
