This is not a tear trough hollow!
The line in your cheek is not the tear trough hollow. It is called a midcheek groove. Honestly, I would not recommend surgery on this. I personally feel fillers are the way to go. This can be addressed with Restylane or Perlane. Juevederm could be used here but I am concerned about its ability to hold in this area.
When the marketing people say it is smooth, they are describing a property of the Juevederm to spread out in the tissue. This is not...

Best fillers for cheeks
It is a little bit hard to tell from the photo since it isn't a close-up, but what I see is a groove starting at the "tear trough" at the inner corner of the eye and descending obliquely across the cheek. This can be either a feature you are born with or something that develops with aging. Any of the hyaluronic acid injectable fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane) will give a nice result there, as would Radiesse. A more permanent solution would be fat grafting.

Fillers for tear trough
Fillers commonly are used to lift tear troughs. There may be different techniques that doctors use but I find that Restlane or Juvederm injected underneath the muscle causes less bruising and less chance of lumps.

Inject with Restylane for tear trough lines
It can do wonders if injected by an experienced injector. From the picture you submitted I suspect that you will need 3 or 4 syringes however ( it can get expensive). I don't see the grey/blue blebs described below when the filler is injected correctly into the deep dermal area.

HA injections of the periorbita
Although a midface lift is an option for this area in general, I would not recommend it for you. Too much surgery, not enough gain, and fillers are a much better option. As you can see from other comments, you can use either restylane or juvederm (hyaluronic acids or HA's) for a 6-12 month solution. The two are very close, but have enough differences that I would suggest restylane here.
First, juvederm does swell more when used around the eyes, so...

Both Restylane and Juvederm can work there
You can inject both Restylane or Juvederm in your cheeks. They are both very safe when injected by someone with experience. There are some differences in both of them. Restylane has been approved for 6 month duration and juvederm for 9 months. I think they are about the same in terms of length of duration in my experience ranging from 6 months to a year. One thing to realize is the Restylane comes in 1.1 milliliters or cc's and Juvederm comes in about 0...

Restylane or juvederm for tear trough
The tear trough are is a tough area to treat. I prefer restylane mixed with a local anesthetic to soften the injection process, to allow ease of molding , and to minimize bruising.

Restylane / Juvederm both good for Tear Trough but Sculptra is the best
The descent of the cheek soft tissues with age really exacerbates the tear trough. You can get instantaneous improvement with either Restylane or Juvederm. However to really build up the cheek you can use Sculptra which lasts 2 to 3 years.

Tear Trough Deformity
A filler such as Restylane or Juvederm can fill that area and give you a result that may last a year or a bit longer.
I would recommend you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to help you achieve what you are seeking.
Good luck.

Be careful - filler injections under the eye can create visible grey lumps
While many physicians inject Juvederm, Restylane and other fillers beneth the lower eyelid to plump depressions that cause dark circles under the eye, I do not.
I do not because I have seen many patients who come to me after filler injections in this region with visible grey lumps caused by the filler showing through the thin eyelid skin. Other patients have had irregular lumps that protrude and are visible.
Some have had injections of hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler and...
