Exercises for a higher cheekbone

In short, the answer is no. The main mass of the cheek is fat, not muscle. If anything, it will cause deflation of the fat and your cheek will diminish in size. You will need filler injections or a cheek lift or even fat grafts to achieve a larger cheek. Sorry about this bad news.

Face Exercises to Elevate Cheekbones?

Sorry. While exercise for your body can work wonders, not so for the face. Facial exercises are more likely to incur dynamic activity lines, furrows, and wrinkles!
