> anyone can get hollow cheeks from low bodyfat. yes and no, maybe if one is drug addict gaunt, but if you have all the necessary components you don't have to be extremely low body fat. here's what is required for insane masculine hollow cheeks. lateral (outward) projection of the zygomatic arch: the cheekbones need to have significant lateral projection, meaning they should push outward, away from the face.  minimal vertical protrusion of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (zmc): the zmc should not project too far downward or forward. the less vertical protrusion the cheekbones have, the more pronounced the hollows can appear, as there is more space between the upper face and jawline for the cheek hollows to show. ideally, the zygomatic area should sit higher on the face.  ramus and jaw height: a longer ramus helps contribute to a pronounced jawline and provides space between the cheekbones and the jaw. this height is crucial for defining the hollowed look beneath the cheeks. essentially, the more defined and vertical the jawline (with longer ramus), the more the hollow cheeks will appear.
