Models with fixation techniques across the short arm after virtual reduction malarplasty (A–D) and across the long arm (E, F): zygomatic body fixation methods (frontal view): A L-shaped plate with the short wing on the zygoma, B L-shaped plate with the short wing on the maxilla, C L-shaped plate with one bicortical screw D Two bicortical screws, E 6-hole rectangular plate F Square plate. (1–3): Zygomatic arch fixation methods (lateral view): 1: Mortice–Tenon structure, 2: 3-hole plate, 3: short screw
