Cheek Augmentation to Feminize Face? (photo)

I'm unhappy with my lower cheek area, it looks too bottom heavy to me. I would like to know what options I have to make my face more feminine. I'm worried about buccal fat removal, but I feel like my upper face is too gaunt and my lower face is too full. Thanks!

Cheek implants for more facial balance

Cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed by inserting a small wafer of silastic material through the intraoral approach and directly over the maxillary bone. The implants come in different sizes, forms and shapes (such as malar and submalar) depending upon the patient’s desires. Submalar implants are used for more of a lower malar augmentation while malar shell implants are used for a broad cheek augmentation. Cheek augmentation simply gives more youthfulness to the... more

Cheek Augmentation Good Option To Feminize Face

I agree with you analysis and think that cheek augmentation will help you achieve your goals. from the one photo you provided, I think that a modest increased volume of your deficient cheeks would be of benefit to restoring a more feminine appearance. Cheek implants are permanent and predictable. Fat Grafting (fat transfer) is also permanent but less predictable. Fat grafting is done by lipoinjection but not all of the transferred fat lives. Either method can improve your appearance... more

Cheek Augmentation to Feminize Face?

Aesthetically speaking, from the photos provuded, your cheeks are quite flat making the face appear elongated. Cheek Augmentation with fillers (I prefer Perlane) or using Cheek IMplants for a permanent augmentation should be considered. Be certain that the plastic and cosmetic surgeon, you select, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the creation of more feminine cheeks. Hope this helps. see video

Cheek Augmentration

I agree that cheek augmentation will improve facial definition and proportions. This can be achieved using fillers such as Radiesse, injections of your own fat, or the placement of implants which will provide a permanent solution.

Cheek augmentation to improve facial proportions

Reviewing your photos I can appreciate that your lower face seems a little stronger than the upper part. Augmenting the cheeks may help soften your face and transform the oval shape to a bit more of a heart shape. I would start with Perlane for cheek augmentation and then consider Radiesse if more umph is needed. On a positive note, with the strength of your chin, your neckline will always look nice and defined, and an oval shaped face is a nice... more

Cheek augmentation to feminize face

It does appear from your photos that you possibly would be a candidate for cheek augmentation. This could be accomplished either surgically, with implants, or non-surgically, with injectable fillers. There are several types of fillers that could be used, such as Radiesse, Sculptra or Artefill. I would not recommend buccal fat removal, as this can have consequences later in life.

How to obtain a more feminine facial shape

You will want to seek out a local board certified (facial) plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist to discuss your options in detail. However, based on your photos, I would consider augmentation of your upper face and cheeks with Sculptra. This will help give balance to the upper portion of the face and as your volume increases in the upper face, it will help support the heaviness that you have in your lower face. Properly done, you will have a more "heart-shaped" &... more

I just realized that "face feminization" is usually associated with sex change operations, but I obviously did not mean it in this way!
