Aesthetically speaking, this is done for faces that have excess width from bone in that area. A bone rasp is used to remove the high points of the cheek and medial section of the Zygomatic arch. I had a patient consult me for Cheek Implants after he had his zygomatic arch fractured in , by a surgeon in Asia, which is not recommended IMHO. The bone does not grow back once removed.
