High fuller cheek bones without surgery

I favor Radiesse for cheek augmentation. I think the hyaluronic acids such as Juvederm work well in areas that have thinner skin and are more out to show a lump.

Radiesse works best for cheek augmentation

While I like both products very much, it is more cost effective to use Radiesse for skeletal augmentation. The technique involves precise placement of discreet boluses just above the existing bone structure followed by molding into a smooth even contour which looks very natural. Additional layers with the same filler or another product, such as Juvederm or Restylane can be added. Fat transfer is still the best procedure for purely volume restoration (not skeletal augmentation) in my... more
