What is the cause of the protruding cheek bone

In clinical practice, patients with protruding cheek bones have a protrusion of the cheekbone. The reason for this is that the cheekbone is easily accessible under the skin, and after trauma, the subcutaneous muscle tissue of the cheekbone is easily injured, resulting in a local hematoma and a protrusion in appearance, and some patients also have local bruising. In addition, the patient’s zygomatic bone is also prone to fracture after being subjected to external force, and if the fracture end of the zygomatic bone is misaligned, it will also be prominent in appearance. If there is abnormal bone growth in the zygomatic bone area or if there is an occupying lesion, there can be this clinical manifestation. Therefore, when this clinical manifestation occurs, an X-ray or CT film of the zygomatic bone should be taken to be able to make a clear diagnosis.
