How hollow cheeks are created:
The zygomactic bone + infraorbital rim/upper maxilla being laterally and horizontally projected + the ramus being vertically long and horizontally wide causing/creating a section between the bones where the skin can sag (identified with the yellow on the diagram) and forming a hole: what we prefer to call hollow cheeks. The red on the diagram identifies the process from the zygomactic/infraorbital bone to the bottom of the ramus.
The only part that is shown of the hollow cheeks is the following (due to the zygo overlapping a certain part of the hollow cheek):
Examples:
1. Jeremy Meeks:
2. Robert Whittaker:
Everything before the red line is pure bone.
Then they are two different types of hollow cheeks:
I believe they are both created by the same process, but the factors that create the hollow cheeks change: ie how high the cheekbones are, how well developed the ramus/masseters are etc.
