A bone in the face that you can feel when you touch the face. The most common palpable facial bone is the zygomatic bone (the cheekbone). In most people alnost all the major bones in the face are palpable - you would need to be rather chubby not to be able to feel the bones on your face.

Which bone would not be affected in a facial massage?

In a facial massage, the bones primarily affected include the maxilla, mandible, and zygomatic bones, as they are located in the facial structure. However, the skull bone, such as the occipital bone, would not be directly affected since it is located at the back of the head and is not part of the facial region. Therefore, the occipital bone would remain unaffected during a typical facial massage.
