Cheekbones linked to testosterone
"In pubertal males, a high testosterone-to-estrogen ratio facilitates the
lateral growth of the cheekbones, mandibles, and chin; the forward growth of
the bones of the eyebrow ridges; and the lengthening of the lower facial bone."

"For example, in men testosterone
facilitates the development of the chin, jaw, cheekbones and brow ridges. Largeness in these
traits may be favored as the result of sexual selection on these features (Trivers 1972)"
"[...]as are males will testosterone-enlarged features such as high cheekbones, strong
jaws, strong chins, and large noses (R. Thornhill & Gangestad, 1993)."
"For instance, the development of prominent cheek bones and a masculine chin is related to androgen levels and androgen/estrogen ratios during puberty (Fink & Penton-Voak, 2002; Tanner, 1990). Chronic illness during this time can suppress androgen secretion, which would result in the development of less prominent cheekbones, a more feminine-looking chin, and, as a result, lower rated physical attractiveness (Thornhill & Gangestad, 1993)."
