How to get a defined zygomatic arch contour in the face? (photo)

December 7, 2013
Asked By:EpsilonZeta

I notice some people have faces in which there is a clear contour of the cheekbone shape visible from the front. I am guessing this is due to greater-than-average bone development in that area. I have attached a photo to illustrate what I mean. I find this makes the face more symmetric and gives it a shape that is aesthetically appealing. For someone who's zygomatic bone is not projected enough to give this appearence due to their genetics, what options would one have to achieve it?
