How Can I Find a Doctor That Can Perform a Zygomatic Osteotomy?

douglas_
I had a zygomatic fracture 3 years ago and it caused my zygoma and zygomatic arch to protrude. A craniofacial surgeon, who specializes mainly in dental work, said repairing it entirely is too extensive. Now I've come into terms of just getting a small osteotomy to remove 2-4mm of protruding bone off my zygomatic arch. Is this possible and could most facial cosmetic surgeons perform this? I'm really motivated to get this done and I live in South Florida if that helps.
