Can The Cheekbone Be Moved Closer to My Eyes?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello i have a question about this surgery. I don’t have any injuries in my face but i just want higher cheekbones and i would like to know if this is possible? I know cheek implants might seem like a good option for this but thats not really rhe look i want. I was picturing this as moving or reconstructing the bone so the most peominent part is closer to the eyes and most importantly the cheek below the bone is bigger so the lowest part of the cheekbone is higher. Is this possible?

A:There is no bone moving method (osteotomy) thar can make the cheekbone higher or closer to the eye. Cheekbone osteotomies are lateral inward or outward movements not vertical.
