The second key point for Malar Reduction!

Firm dual fixation to prevent non-union

There are two types of malar reduction surgery. The first one is possible to be operated without any fixation which is called ‘Quick malar reduction’ and the second one uses a surgical nail to fix. The patient might think the one without a surgical nail is safer and more comfortable. However, firm fixation with a surgical nail is essential to prevent non-union.

＊ Non-union? It is one of the side effects after the malar reduction that the bones fail to knit and fall off.

 

A plate and a wire for double fixation

 

Double fixation is essential for safe malar reduction. It is very important to tighten the bone to prevent shrinkage of the masseter muscle since it causes unnecessary movement of cheekbone during the wound healing process. Therefore, the way of fixation should be very carefully considered to avoid side effects such as vicious union or non-union.

 

​Double fixation using a wire and a plate. Dual-Fix Malar Reduction

TS Dual-Fix malar reduction is the way of strong double fixation of cheekbone using a plate and a wire. The combination of a wire that strongly gathers the cut bones and a plate that firmly fixes the bones create the tight fit that brings satisfactory result.
