What is the cost range for a zygomatic sandwich osteotomy?

Question

I am looking to widen my face since it's too long and narrow. I need lateral projection to balance the height with some width. I hear the ZSO basically cuts the zygo process of the temporal bone and projects it outwards or just moves one side of it out and reattaches it. Is this the best option? Or would an implant in the same area work? I'm looking for primarily lateral projection/to widen the appearance of my face -- not forward/anterior projection.

Cheek widening by zygomatic osteotomy is done on the front of the zygomatic arch, not the back end of it by its temporal attachment. That could be effective based on exactly where you want the augmentation effect. A zygomatic arch implant is simpler and could be more effective based on how its design may better control the exact location of the augmentation needed.
