Achieving High Cheekbones

There are two basic reasons for not having adequate “cheekbones.” First, is your genetic make-up. You may have just inherited low cheeks. Secondly, you may have lost them over time as gravity pulled the fat that was covering the cheekbones down. This lower fat fills the hollow below the cheekbone and, thus, makes the loss look even worst. For the first problem, a cheek implant or a filler, including fat, can be used.

High cheekbones can be achieved with fillers or implants

High cheekbones can be achieved with fillers or implants. Basically, I would recommend a filler first to make sure that it is the look that you like because a solid implant would have to be removed if you are not happy or if it migrates. You can use short term fillers like juvderm or restylane which can last up to a year or intermediate term fillers like radiesse. Other options include sculptra which can add volume to the face in some cases as in my experience for at least three years.... more

High cheekbones can be made with filler or facial implants

The simplest way to create high cheekbones is with facial filers. I actually like to do this with patients considering implants to make sure they like the look before embarking on a surgical procedure. Hyaluronic acid fillers are easiest and can be reversed if you don't like the result (which almost no one requests). For longer lasting results, Radiesse is the product of choice.

Achieve high cheekbones with cheek implants

The best option for high cheekbones is to perform a cheek augmentation with Silastic cheek implants. These are synthetic implants that come in different sizes and shapes. They are placed through the mouth on the upper portion of the teeth and placed over the malar cheekbone. They are placed directly over the bone and are not felt by the patient. If the patient desires, they can always be removed, exchanged, or replaced if needed.

High Cheekbones

The cheeks can be augmented using silicone implants placed through an intra-oral incision or the injection of fillers. I prefer the use of Radiesse if the injection technique is used.

Acheiving high cheekbones

If you want a permanent change and one that can be reversed if you are unhappy, the only solution is a preformed Silastic (silicone rubber) cheek or malar implant placed next to the bone through an incision inside the mouth.

High cheek bones and how to get them

The simplest way to get high cheek bones is to use injectable fillers like Radiesse which can last 1-3 years. These cn be reinjected and modified as you age over the years also. Alternatively, a permanent cheek implant can be inserted through the mouth so there are no scars.

High cheekbones can be achieved with fillers or facial implants

Emphasizing and accentuating the cheek bones can be done either with injectable fillers (Restylane / Perlane. Juvederm. Radiesse) - which are the easiest to use, or by insertion of a variety of facial implants. The most commonly used implants are either made of Silicone, PTFE, or POREX.
