What is "cheekbone"?
The cheekbone, also known as the zygomatic bone, is positioned in the middle of the face. It is a prominent bone that forms the structure of the cheek and contributes to the overall contour of the face. The cheekbone serves as a foundation for the soft tissues of the face and provides support to the eyes, nose, and other facial structures. Additionally, it plays a significant role in facial expression, adding definition to the face and contributing to its aesthetic appearance. The cheekbone also plays a crucial role in protecting the underlying structures within the skull.
