Bare-handed osteoplasty generally can't achieve the effect of reducing cheekbones, because human bones grow and take shape after 18 years old. Except for the purpose of reducing bone by surgical bone cutting, other methods generally have no effect.

Zygomatic bone is one of the facial skulls and an important part of human face. Located in front of the middle part of the face and below the lateral orbit, it is diamond-shaped and forms a bony process on the cheek. There are four processes on the cheekbone, namely, the anterior sphenoid process, the mandibular process, the temporal process and the orbital process. The temporal process of zygomatic bone connects the zygomatic process of temporal bone backward to form zygomatic arch.
