Will cheek fillers help make my face appear shorter/cuter? (photos)

Hi dancer. Although your photos aren't the best quality, you can tell that you do have volume loss in your cheeks with a flattening of what's known as the Ogee Curve. In someone your age there is likely a hereditary component to this. With cheek fillers, not only will volume be replaced in your cheeks, but it will also give you a nice curvature, making your face appear rounder. My favorite filler for this is Juvederm Voluma. You can find out more information about it on our website. Hope this helps answer your question! 

Dear Cheek Filler for a Cuter
Face

Although difficult to tell from
the photos that you submitted, your physical description of a flattened
mid-face and lack of projection through the cheeks may well be a sign of some
hereditary lack of cheekbone projection and sunkenness of the undereye. This constellation of findings in common in
the aging face, but when present in more youthful faces, it is usually as a result
of insufficient bony structure.

It has been my experience that
artificial extensive bony grafting or extensive craniofacial surgery is usually
not warranted in these circumstances, as the advent and innovation of new soft
tissue fillers that are safe and long-lasting make volumization of the face a
much simpler, safer and aesthetically pleasing procedure.

I have been a certified plastic
surgeon for over 20 years and have focused for the past 20 years on cosmetic
plastic surgery and particularly soft tissue volumization. For aesthetic concerns such as you describe,
I generally use Juvéderm®
Voluma™, as it can last up to two
years, and a very small, blunt microcannula to insert these products for
deficient areas of soft tissue volume under the eyes, through the cheek, along
the cheekbone and other facial buttresses to enhance the beauty and femininity
of the skeletal contours.

I trust this advice has been of
some assistance and best of luck.

Sincerely,

R. Stephen Mulholland, M.D.
