Isn't the picture on this page possibly cruel? A teenager with "prominent cheeks"?
 * I don't think so. She is my girlfriend and she is OK with it. :) Yupanqui 00:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I took the liberty to add (puffy) to the description of her cheeks. "Puffy cheeks" is IMHO a good way to describe massive cheekage of the cute, rodent-like kind. 84.209.4.79 21:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * She's really hot. Can I have her when you're done with her? :) lol 79.71.235.129 (talk) 12:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey where are you from? Because this picture looks a lot like someone I know, just wondering.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.44.63.167 (talk) 15:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

The word 'Cheek' is also an old family surname from Anglo-Saxon England that predates the Norman invasion. The Cheek family was among the first to immigrate to the US colonies in the early 17th century.

Black spots
what is it called? mold or something!

Page split?
As stated on the main page to discuss -- here goes. I think we should split out the family name and have that be Cheek (surname) or somesuch and then place a disambig at the top of the main Cheek page. Thoughts? Isoxyl 19:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't see the need for a split as long as neither is much longer then a stub Fastifex 08:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge with High cheekbones
This article could easily be merged into Check, which would have the additional benefit of more comprehensively informing the reader about the Cheek's anatomy and other facets. Tom (LT) (talk) 22:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Totally agree. A 'High Cheekbones' article makes as much sense as 'Big Noses' or 'Long Eyelashes'.   Pepper Beast    (talk)  22:52, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * A merge is helpful, but to a different target. Given that the cheekbone is the zygomatic bone, not the cheek, it seems to make more sense to merge to Zygomatic bone rather than to the corresponding cheek section. Klbrain (talk) 16:35, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

buccal as ROA for medication
came here from the page for midazolam, which mentioned buccal administration of the drug. hadn't heard that term before; saw "cheeks" on the pop-up preview but that just increased my curiosity - i've heard of administering drugs via the cheeks but not sure if it's an injection, inside the cheek in a manner similar to transdermal, maybe something similar to sublingual, what. disappointingly, no mention whatsoever of the ROA (route of administration) or how it's used! examples of situations or specific medications administered via the cheek would also be a good component to include in such a section, as well as other medical uses of the term or ways it can be used therapeutically - for example, i remember as a kid, getting a tooth pulled, when the dentist essentially used her finger and pressure/rapid rubbing to create a temporary numbing effect in preparation for the injection of novocaine.

in any case there is a LOT more potential for information to be included in this article, and obviously i'm not the one to do it since i came here looking for it! :p 76.170.99.57 (talk) 09:48, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

body language / face expressions
Inflated cheeks might play an important role in expressing emotions like being flabbergasted, dumbfounded, speechless, shocked and many more. I think this information can be added, but i am not sure that it is the same across cultures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.117.124.124 (talk) 17:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
