What is "cheek"?

The cheek is the soft, rounded area of the face on either side, located between the eye and the jawline. It is formed by the underlying muscles and fatty tissue. The cheek plays a significant role in facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or blushing. It also contributes to the overall contour and symmetry of the face. The cheek is sensitive to touch and can be a site for displaying emotions, such as when it reddens with embarrassment or becomes dimpled with a smile. It is a prominent feature that adds character and definition to the face.
