The zygomatic bone is one of the skulls of the face, which is located in the front of the middle part of the face and below the orbit. It is diamond-shaped and forms a bony protrusion 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. It is an important part of human face.

Extended data:

In the traditional aesthetic concept of China people, too high cheekbones will give people a feeling of being difficult to get along with and cynical. As a result, many female customers in plastic surgery clinics feel that their cheekbones are too prominent and want to change their faces by grinding their bones.

However, after observation, doctors found that most of the cheekbones are not really too high, but because the temples are sunken, which makes people look like they have the illusion of prominent cheekbones. As long as the temple depression is improved, the facial lines will be perfect without "grinding bones".

First of all, due to the family's own skull genetic characteristics, the temple is not full, which is the most common phenomenon of temple depression; Secondly, thin people can also cause temple depression because of less subcutaneous fat, which makes the whole face lack streamline; Finally, with the increase of age, the subcutaneous tissue of the temple began to shrink, and the subcutaneous fat layer became thinner, which led to the temple drooping.

When we eat, we can notice that the temples on both sides are moving, but we won't notice that the skin at the zygomatic arch is moving. In fact, the temporal muscle runs under the zygomatic arch. When the zygomatic arch is missing for various reasons, you will notice that the skin in front of the external auditory canal is driven by its deep temporal muscle when eating.
