Introduction
Because some people have pseudo-high cheekbones, which are actually caused by sunken temples and depressed buccal grooves that make the cheekbones appear prominent. It is essential to measure the ratio of facial length to width and determine whether it exceeds the golden ratio of 1:0.618. If the facial width does not exceed this ratio, it indicates that the person has pseudo-elevated cheekbones.
In daily life, many people are concerned about having a narrow forehead and feel quite troubled. So what should one do if they have a narrow forehead and high cheekbones?
What to do about a narrow forehead and high cheekbones?
Some people only appear to have prominent cheekbones, but in reality, this is due to sunken temples or hollowed cheek grooves, which create the illusion of protruding cheekbones. It's essential to measure the ratio of facial length to width to determine whether it exceeds the golden ratio—1:0.618. If the facial width does not exceed this proportion, it indicates a false appearance of elevated cheekbones. In such cases, we can improve the condition through fat grafting, implant insertion, or injectable fillers to correct the hollows in the temples and cheek grooves, thereby reducing the apparent prominence of the zygomatic arch. However, if the cheekbone protrusion is genuine, surgical intervention will be required to correct the actual bony structure.
Potential risks of颧骨整形 (zygomatic reduction) surgery include bleeding or hematoma formation during the procedure if the surgeon improperly injures the capillaries around the zygomatic bone.
Additionally, if proper sterilization is not maintained during surgery or if postoperative wound care is neglected, infection and inflammation may occur. Some individuals may even develop hypertrophic scarring. We hope this article has been helpful to you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
