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

Prominent zygomatic arches in males are associated with
aesthetically appealing faces. Therefore male patients with small zygomatic
bones may obviously think that zygomatic bone augmentation would give a face a
more “appealing look”.A “big” zygomatic arch appearance is not solely secondary to
the size these bones. The aspect of the midface soft tissue (lateral cheeks)
and lower face jaw bone)
significantly affect this perception.
Patients with average normal zygomatic bones can make their zygomatic bones
look “larger” if the buccal fat pad (fat
of the cheeks) is removed (common procedure in male model patients). Additionally, when a wide large jaw bone
complements large zygomatic bones, this helps to give the male patients a more attractive appearance ( patients with
large zygomatic arches and small jaw bones
very likely don’t look attractive/appealing).Male patient seeking facial improvement with possible
zygomatic arch augmentation should be evaluated by a board certified plastic
surgeon with expertise in the face to determine what surgical treatment best
fits the patient’s speficic physical findings and needs.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This can be achieved with cheek implants to have a permanent solution to this problem. Fillers can also be used but need to be repeated.

Facial definition can be achieved with temporary products such as hyaluronic acids (eg. Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma), Radiesse, longer active products (eg. Sculptura), fat grafting or implants.

What you are demonstrating can be largely achieved by cheek implants. Choosing the right style and size of cheek implant is critical to achieve such cheekbone prominence. Whether you have the facial structure to achieve this type of cheekbone look requires an assessment of your facial pictures.

The alternatives one has to increase the projection of the cheek and/or zygomatic area are: (1) temporary or (2) permanent.The temporary alternatives include the placement of fillers, typically the filler called Radiesse, which is made up of calcium and phosphorous and it's a good filler for deeper areas.  It is injected into the cheekbone surface and the tissue just immediately above it to create prominence and refine the tissue contour.  This is done with a local anesthetic and it involves the placement of between 1-1/2 to 5 ccs. of the product.  It creates a nice, immediate result with minimal hassles, and at a cost of anywhere between $600 to $2000 dollars.  The biggest drawback of this treatment is that it is temporary, that is, the product will be slowly eliminated by the body with a net improvement of approximately 1 to 1-1/2 years.  Other products can be utilized; however, for the area of the cheekbones, Radiesse is likely the best product.A permanant change in the contour of the cheekbones is accomplished by surgery with the use of one of several types and shapes of implants designed to fit the different variances of facial structure, or the areas that need to be augmented or corrected.  These implants are typically placed with an incision in the cul-de-sac or area just above the gum region, so it is pretty much inside of the mouth and invisible.  They are either fixed with sutures and/or screws and they create an effective, dramatic and significant contour in the mid facial anatomy.
