What are the bones on both sides of the face called

The zygomatic bones are located on both sides of the cheeks and are the most prominent bones. There are four protrusions on the cheekbones, on which many acupoints are distributed. If there is too much subcutaneous fat, the cheekbones may not be particularly obvious. But if you are very thin, your cheekbones will be very obvious. The zygomatic bone and temporal bone connect to form the zygomatic arch, which is very important. Regular facial massage can promote blood circulation and make your complexion more rosy.

The zygomatic bone is one of the skull bones, located in the front of the middle of the face, outside and below the eye socket. It is diamond-shaped and forms a bony protrusion of the cheek. The zygomatic bone has four processes: the frontosphenoidal process, the maxillary process, the temporal process, and the orbital process. The temporal process of the zygomatic bone connects posteriorly to the zygomatic process of the temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch. It is an important part of the human face.

The width of the mid-face 1/3 is mainly determined by the height of the zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch. The height of the cheekbones is related to the proportions of other parts of the face. Such as the width of the mandible, the width of the temporal bone in the temporal region and the degree of development of the temporalis muscle.

In addition, whether the cheekbones are obviously prominent is also related to the amount of subcutaneous fat. For example, if there is too little subcutaneous fat and the person is obviously thin, the cheekbones and zygomatic arches may appear relatively higher. Therefore, the height of the zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch is a relative concept. Since we can visually distinguish the size of the zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch in daily life, high zygomatic bones can be divided into "true" high zygomatic bones and "false" high zygomatic bones. Medical imaging technology can be used clinically to actually measure the height of the zygomatic bone and zygomatic arch and make a judgment on the degree of high zygomatic bone.

If it is confirmed that the facial width is caused by bones, the only way to achieve the goal of face slimming is through osteotomy surgery. If the wide face is caused by hypertrophy of the masseter muscle, you can achieve a good face-slimming effect by injecting a face-slimming injection. So determining the cause is critical.

Overly prominent cheeks and jawbones, overdeveloped masseter muscles, and large fat pads will make the facial contours unclear and give the person a fat appearance. Common mandibular hypertrophy and masseter muscle hypertrophy. If the mandibular hypertrophy is caused by bone grinding, masseter muscle hypertrophy can be treated by bone grinding surgery. Botulinum toxin can be injected to relax the cheek muscles.

In order to achieve the effect of face slimming, you can do so by injecting botulinum toxin. However, it should be noted that after the operation, you should be careful not to use the cheek muscles frequently. For example, chew gum frequently and avoid eating spicy foods. Avoid exaggerated expressions such as laughing or crying, and pay attention to your normal sleeping and resting time.
