Prominent zygomatic arches, often referred to as high facial features, contribute significantly to facial aesthetics. The degree to which these structures are visible influences perceived attractiveness and can be a defining characteristic of facial structure. The visibility of these features depends on underlying bone structure, fat distribution, and muscle development.
A more sculpted appearance in the mid-face is frequently associated with youthfulness and attractiveness, aligning with prevalent beauty standards across various cultures and historical periods. Stronger facial contours can enhance overall facial harmony and contribute to a more defined appearance. This aesthetic preference has driven the development of both surgical and non-surgical methods aimed at augmenting or accentuating the mid-face.
