comment

The malar bones are a confluence of the convex prominence of the zygomatic bone known as the malar surface, along with the malar process (most medial and superior part) of the maxilla. It forms the medial border of the inferior bony orbit, and is contiguous with the lateral boundary of the nasal bridge.
