If your face is too wide because of the bow of your zygomatic arches, cheekbone reduction osteotomies would be effective.

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation.  The cheeks can be rasped down using a nasal bone rasp if they are too large or wide.  The zygomatic arch should not be fractured inward, as is sometimes down in other countries outside the US, as this creates a tissue indentation and can cause issues with the Temporalis muscle when opening the mouth.  Hope this helps.
