What is the Best Dermal Filler for Cheeks?

i'm thinking of getting fillers in my cheeks to lift up my face a bit as i look tired. i was just wondering what is the best filler for this location? i already had juvederm ultra plus xc injected in my nasal labial folds and feel i still look tired and smile line seems to still be there sagging (like i'm frowning) so went to a few other doctors and they said the best solution was to inject some in cheeks to lift the face (one said juvederm and another said radiesse) which is the best?
