Cheek dents

Midway in the cheek, there is a set of ligaments effectively forming a barrier to downward flow of fluid.  It is the reason patients form black eyes if their eye is injured, and the reason the bruising often stops exactly at a semicircular line on the cheek.

This anatomic boundary is difficult to defeat.

For younger patients such as yourself, hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane) work very well.

For patients with a more pronounced problem, we can perform a superficial cheeklift.

However, it would be premature to perform such a procedure in a young patient with so minimal a problem.
