Am I a good candidate for cheek filler? (Photo)

Question

I am at a lowish weight naturally and find the volume in my jaw does not match my cheeks, hence making my face look a bit flat. Would cheek filler improve this? Or would it make my face look too wide?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide and attractive cheek appearance. Since injectable fillers have inherent risks, I do not see the benefit of adding volume to this area. Depending on your examination, you may be a better candidate for a permanent non-surgical nose job to add volume to your nasal tip area. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Robert Dale, MD · Answer

If done properly, cheek filler should not make you look wide and in fact will make your face look more contoured. It can be placed in a way that will not only lift your mid-face, but help give you that "top model" look. The most important thing is to see a treatment provider that is knowledgable and experienced because filler can look amazing if done with skill, and not so great if done by someone with substandard ability. Always see a qualified medical professional for safety as well.
