Masseter muscle correlation with hollow cheeks?

[chadisbeingmade]

Do they promote hollows or make them less apparent?

it's all about your gonions
massive masseters make you look uncanny
give me 1 example where trained masseters looked good

not sure if this answers ur question but this is the best explanation of hollow cheeks i found here (answer from MedMaxxing)

Test to see if you will have hollow cheeks at low BF%

This method will predict with great accuracy if you have the potential to have hollow cheeks. This works even at high body fat percentage 1. Malar Prominence: First, We must determine the Strength and Projection of the zygomatic bones. (Rhoades) shows the Zygomatic size is a dimorphic trait...

I understand it’s mostly zygos protection yeah, I have hollows but was wondering if larger masseters kinda “obstruct” them or kinda promote them due to more stretched skin.

I’ve read some threads on it also and everyone says contradicting things tbh.

kinda looks big jfl (green muscle) and would obstruct hollowing imo, but I have no idea.

Well on me the side with smaller masseters has hollow cheeks and the side with bigger ones doesn’t lmao

I think any unnatural level of masseter muscles (depends on the person ig) would obstruct it as well
but not too sure tbh

Dunno if this helps aswell, some guy got masseter botox. (they were to wide)
And his cheeks got hollower after each session.

appreciate it, thanks. Anecdotally seems like larger masseters obstruct hollowing.
