title: Zygoma reconstruction.
abstract: Ideal reconstruction of the zygoma position is essential in restoring facial width, projection, and symmetry. Reconstruction should be focused on the zygoma's 4 articulations and restoring the vertical and horizontal pillars of the facial skeleton. This article describes the applied surgical anatomy as it relates to zygomatic deformities, surgical approaches, and reconstruction. The basis for diagnosing and classifying zygoma deformities as they relate to severity of injury and associated displacement, comminution, and comorbidities is also discussed. Traditional and contemporary concepts in posttraumatic, postablative, and esthetic reconstruction are also described.
