Take a look at two examples of cheekbone set:
Sean O'Pry (high set cheekbones)
Johnny Depp (low set cheekbones)
Notice how O'Pry's cheekbones look more "flared out" and rotated outwards? Whereas Depp's look rotated inwards and closer to his nose? There is even a difference in the appearance of nasiolabial folds because of this. Do you also notice how O'Pry has more of a positive canthal tilt and Johnny Depp has more of a neutral tilt? It's because cheekbone set and canthal tilt are connected.
So what is the solution to get higher cheekbones and more pct? MSE and thumbpulling. Once the maxilla expands and the suture splits with the MSE, it is the perfect time to manipulate your maxilla with the sutures being all loose. Thumbpull the back of your maxilla and try to flare it upwards and outwards (laterally) as much as possible, while leaving the front alone.
Here it shows a unilateral expansion of the maxilla, but notice anyways how the cheekbones flare upwards and outwards. That is the nature of maxillary expansion. To get this cheekbone rotation much faster would be to just thumbpull the back of the maxilla (also so that your nose doesn't need 12 rhinos after).
There is no aesthetic MSE that'll just expand the back of the maxilla to get higher cheekbone set and PCT, so once the suture splits, we'll have to take matters into our own hands (literally).
