Treatment
Zygomatic Cranioplasty
Overview
Zygomatic cranioplasty is a specialised surgical procedure that focuses on reconstructing or repairing the zygoma (cheekbone) area after trauma, fracture or congenital defect. This treatment is essential for both functional recovery and aesthetic restoration of the mid-face. It helps restore facial symmetry, improve chewing or speech difficulties, and boost overall self-confidence.
Why Zygomatic Cranioplasty Treatment is Required?
- To correct depressed or fractured zygomatic bones due to trauma or accidents
- To repair facial deformities caused by birth defects or previous surgeries
- To treat zygomatic bone defects due to tumor removal or infections
- To restore proper facial contours and support eye socket integrity
- To improve jaw function, speech, and chewing issues
- When non-surgical treatments fail to offer structural correction
- For patients with asymmetry or sunken cheeks due to bone loss
Key Advantages of Zygomatic Cranioplasty Treatment
- Restores natural facial structure and balance
- Improves functionality of jaw, eye and oral regions
- Offers customised implants or bone grafts for precision results
- Can be performed using minimally invasive techniques
- Shorter recovery time compared to traditional facial reconstruction
- Enhances psychological well-being and self-esteem
- Long-term durability with high success rates
- Reduces complications linked with untreated fractures or deformities
How Should You Prepare Yourself Before Zygomatic Cranioplasty Treatment
- Share a complete medical and surgical history with your doctor
- Undergo CT or 3D facial imaging for detailed planning
- Stop blood-thinning medications if advised by your surgeon
- Arrange for someone to assist you post-surgery
- Follow pre-operative fasting instructions strictly
- Discuss allergy history and anesthesia concerns
- Understand the zygomatic cranioplasty cost in India and available options
- Ask about minimally invasive zygomatic cranioplasty options if eligible
How Zygomatic Cranioplasty Treatment is Performed?
- A small incision is made near the temple, scalp or inside the mouth
- The surgeon gently accesses the zygomatic bone area
- Bone grafts or implants are used to restore the cheekbone
- If fractured, realignment and fixation with plates/screws is done
- Custom 3D implants may be inserted in cases of bone loss
- The incision is carefully closed, leaving minimal visible scarring
- The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on complexity
What You Can Expect Before, During and After Procedure?
- Before the Procedure:
- Imaging tests and pre-anesthesia evaluation
- Consent and detailed discussion about expected outcomes
- Instructions regarding medications and fasting
- During the Procedure:
- Performed under general anesthesia
- Realignment, grafting, or implant placement is done with precision
- Minimally invasive methods may be used if possible
- After the Procedure:
- Temporary swelling, mild pain, or numbness can occur
- You may need a few days of hospitalization
- Ice packs and prescribed medications help in recovery
- Return to normal routine within 2 to 3 weeks
- Complete healing may take up to 3 months depending on complexity
Risk and Potential Complications
- Infection at the surgical site
- Swelling and bruising in the face or eye area
- Nerve damage causing temporary numbness or tingling
- Bleeding or blood clots (rare)
- Minor chances of implant shifting or rejection
- Scarring, though usually hidden in natural creases
- Delay in healing if patient has underlying conditions
- Zygomatic cranioplasty vs traditional cranioplasty – fewer complications in the newer method
Results/Outcomes
