What’s the name of the bone protruding from your face?

The prominent bones on the face are called zygomatic bones, which play a relatively important role in forming part of the orbital wall, connecting with the maxilla to form the facial skull, and are able to maintain the patient’s facial shape. If the zygomatic bone is traumatized or fractured, it will lead to the change of facial shape, local hemorrhage, dislocation, and also compress the eyeballs, resulting in the increase of intraocular pressure, which affects the patient’s eyesight. Patients should pay attention to the protection of zygomatic bone to avoid trauma. In addition, some female patients have high zygomatic bone, which can be corrected by plastic surgery to make significant improvement in appearance, and the role of zygomatic bone is more important.
