What is Best for Building Up Cheek Bone Significantly? Sculptra, Radiesse or HA Filler Eg Teosyal, Perlane or Voluma?
I don't mean the whole cheek area including the mid face, I just mean the upper cheek bone and to pull the eye troughs out so they are less visible. Would this be too superficial for sculptra and risk visible lumps if they were to form?

Best filler for around the eyes
When choosing a filler, the patients anatomy and the location of interest needs to be taken into consideration. There are many great fillers, but not every filler is good for every part of the face. For instance, Radiesse is great for the cheeks, chin and jawline as it has firm structure and can be injected right on top of the bone (kind of like an injectable implant). However, you would not want Radiesse near your eyelids as you would see and feel fullness or lumps....

Enhancing cheekbones
You should be assess by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who uses all of these products. The choice of product depends on the patient and the area that is being injected. Sculptra is not used for the tear trough area.

In men and thicker tissues, I will use Radiesse to shape the cheeks.

Best option for building cheekbones
Essentially all the materials you mention could be used; but my preference is to use Radiesse or your own fat injected deep over the bone, this is most effective to create a more prominent defined cheekbone. Sculptra will work, but tends to be more diffuse. In the upper cheek area under the eyelid Radiesse is not appropriate and the other materials can be used more superficially. Fat is also an option but needs to be very carefully placed by someone with experience with fat around the eyes....
