The cheekbones play a very important role in the face. The height of cheekbones not only affects the face shape, but also affects people's demeanor. Too high cheekbones make the temples (temples) and cheeks appear sunken, and the whole face is hexagonal or inverted pentagonal, giving people a feeling of haggard and old.

Zygomatic structure:
1, zygomatic arch:
Zygomatic arch is located on both sides of craniofacial bone, arched outward, with sharp upper edge and easy to touch. There are four processes on the cheekbone, namely, the anterior sphenoid process, the mandibular process, the temporal process and the orbital process. It mainly affects facial beauty through its relationship with nose, temples and cheeks.
2, cheekbones:
Zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch are important skeletal supports in the middle part of the face and an important part of the human facial contour. There are three main physiological functions. One is protection. These two structures are located in the most prominent parts on both sides of the face. When the external force hits the face from the side, it protects the maxillary sinus and temporal muscle, and then protects the lateral wall of the skull.
The second function is to form the contours of both sides of the middle part of the face. The difference of its size and shape greatly affects the contour and appearance of the face, so changing its shape and convexity can obviously change the appearance of the face. The third function is to separate the deep temporal muscle from the superficial skin.
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.
