Possessive pronoun drops in fiction

Possessive pronoun drops in fiction

Assuming the reader knows who is being referred to, what do you think is
the effect on the reader when possessive pronouns are dropped in fiction.
For example: Brown hair is pulled back into a tight bun, giving cheeks a
stretched look.
Seems to me (note the subject pronoun drop), the result is that the reader
focuses more on the narrator than the character being discussed. All
reactions will be appreciated.
