Your upper maxilla and cheekbones (zygos) can be in different positions relative to each other.
This has a big role on what your cheek concavity (hollow cheeks) looks like: this and also how high, how much width, and also how much mass your cheekbones have.
So in summary, for one to have perfect cheekbones, all these factors need to be considered:
1: The height of the cheekbones
2: The width of the cheekbones
3: The mass of the cheekbones
4: The anterior projection of the cheekbones
In this thread we will be focusing on the anterior projection of the cheekbones, and how there are different types in relative to your upper maxilla.
There is three different types and ill try to get picture examples of all.
First example is cheekbones that are anteriorly ahead of the maxilla.
An example: Khabib Nurmagomadeov:
See how his cheekbones are anteriorly more projected ahead of his maxilla? Notice how that line is produced under his eye? (I see a lot of people asking what that is, and most guys coming up with the conclusion that its weak infraorbital rims or eyebags: it is NOT). That line is created in Khabibs case because his cheekbones are anteriorly more ahead of his maxilla, so the difference forces the skin to create a line, because there is a difference in forward projection.
Second example: Maxilla that is anteriorly ahead of the cheekbones:
An example: (Very hard to find one):
These two both have more maxilla anterior projection in differentiation to their cheekbones. This has created a similar line to Khabibs, but at a slightly different angle. You can see from there sideprofile that their cheekbones are set back, and in an ideal world they should be piercing the skin under the eye, making a bulge and therefore good under eye support.
Third example: Maxilla and cheekbones that have the same anterior projection. (VERY common).
An example: Random guy
This is the most common one. People with the same anterior projection of the maxilla and cheekbones are less likely to have hollow cheeks, but a LOT will still do if they have a wide, forward maxilla.
IMO, the most ideal one is Khabibs.
Not much you can do to change this. Mew, either get lefort 2 or 3, or zygo distraction. Implants and fillers wont create the same effect, needs to be bone.
