what causes nct?

[Ocelot]

low cheekbones caused by downward growth?

haven't seen a single person with good cheekbones have NCT dedsrs

This has already been said repeatedly

Its not cheekbones It’s lateral orbital rims and soft tissue

cheekbones barely affect orbitals

Lots of reasons but rarely it's cheekbones. Most times it's shape of the orbitals and how the eyes are set in skull.
Also actual nct is pretty rare most have weak undereye support

the zygomatic bone is literally part of the orbit. There is no "orbital bone" or "lateral orbital rim"

also both my dad and I have "actual NCT"
tight lower lid and no sclera show but NCT. I'm asking this q because his NCT is less than mine and he has better cheekbones too

Not sure...I don't care either. I have slight NCT on one eye because of how my lower lids are. They're far more apparent if I squint though.

Zygomatic bone is pretty big so one can have good bone mass at the mid portion giving good ogee curve/hollow cheeks but still the outer edge of the bone at around the eye socket might be shaped differently effecting the orbital shape this most likely a phenotypical thing. Most ethnics have weak under eye support or the orbital looks sunken in compared to nordic people. Like chris hemsworth don't have projected cheekbone but good under eye support.

the lateral orbital rim is literally the cheekbone
