The so-called cheekbone area is the anatomic area between the lateral infraorbital area and the buccal area. Its basis is formed by the medial aspect of the zygomatic bone and by the lateral aspect of the maxilla. It contains parts of the SOOF and the deep lateral cheek (DLC) fat compartment. It is transversed by the zygomaticus minor and major muscles and by the transverse facial artery. The prominence of this area influences the O-G curve and is a major determinant for facial attractiveness.

The upper part of the face and scalp is supplied by the terminal branches of the external carotid artery. The deep facial structures are supplied by the maxillary artery, which passes deep to the mandible. The superficial temporal artery passes upwards to supply the temporal region. The transverse facial artery is a branch of this artery that runs medially across the face, supplying the cheek structures. Small supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries, branches of the ophthalmic branch of the internal carotid artery, supply the forehead and anterior scalp.

It is of vital importance to mark both the upper and lower borders of the zygomatic arch before malar injections. The middle temporal vein runs parallel to the superior border, and the transverse facial artery parallels to the lower zygomatic border. Inappropriate needle angulation poses a risk for intravascular injection.
Oral mucosa grafting in periorbital reconstruction
Published in Orbit, 2018
Buccal mucosa is delimited by the outer commissure of the lips anteriorly, the anterior tonsillar pillar posteriorly, the maxillary vestibular fold superiorly, and the mandibular vestibular fold inferiorly. Vascular supply is derived predominantly from branches of the maxillary artery. These include the buccal artery, the middle and posterior superior alveolar arteries, and the anterior superior alveolar branch of the infraorbital artery. The transverse facial artery, a branch of the superficial temporal artery provides additional blood supply. Buccal mucosa is innervated by the long buccal nerve, a branch of the third division of the trigeminal nerve (CNV3) and the anterior, middle, and posterior superior alveolar branches of the second division of the trigeminal nerve (CNV2). The facial nerve also contributes sensory innervation to the buccal mucosa.74,75
