For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
If you are interested in lifting your cheekbones without surgery, you may want to consider the use of dermal fillers. The choice of filler depends on your objectives and what your doctor is comfortable using. Here at the Dr.U Clinic, one of the fillers we use is Radiesse. This product is made of calcium-hydroxlapatite microparticles which offers ideal firmness and structural support for the cheekbone area. Also, the results can look very natural. A doctor should know how to work with an individual’s existing facial structure to produce results that would look best for them. Below is a patient example where Radiesse was used to achieve a non-surgical cheek-lift.
Hello selenamanndraI would advice you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon
We can certainly add volume to your cheeks with filler. It can give the appearance of a lifted cheekbone area. It is temporary, but may give you the results you're looking for. Since you didn't submit any pictures, it would be important to see a qualified provider for a consultation to hear about all of the options available.
The malar area is the most projecting part of the midface skeleton. It is what we consider the "cheekbone." Prominent malar bones are considered attractive. Hence, the malar area is frequently augmented with implants. Oftentimes, a deficiency in cheek prominence is part of a more generalized deficiency in the midface skeleton. For that reason, malar (cheek) implants are often used in combination with other implants - most frequently, with infraorbital rim implants, which build up the area directly beneath the eye.
The term non-surgicalcheek lift is a misnomer – the more accurate term is non-surgicalfacial rejuvenation. There are 3 types: 1) Energy transfer (radiofrequency, infrared, etc.) - usedto 'heat' the deeper facial tissues and cause tightening of the face. 2) Volumereplacement - the use of fillers or fat to give a more youthful look. 3) Resurfacingprocedures (peels, fractionated lasers) - treats the face superficially anddoes not tighten deeper tissues that have 'sagged' nor does it restore volume.You can use a combination of these procedures to correct your issues but theresults are subtle (i.e., won’t address deep wrinkles or folds), there may besome discoloration (goes away after several weeks) and in some cases, swelling.The upside is mainly that there is no recovery period, you get smoother, tighter, more contoured skin and abig boost to your confidence and self-esteem. On the other hand, there are 3 basic types of cheeklift surgery — a mini lift, a complete cheek lift and necklift, or a mid-face lift. Aconsultation with a board certified cosmetic surgeon can help you understandthe options available to you.
If you are looking for a nonsurgical option to give your cheeks a lifted appearance, fillers are an option. You should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss these options and which would give you your desired look.
Voluma is a 2 year hyaluronic acid filler that is FDA approved for use on the cheeks. It stays put and lifts very well. I would recommend you find a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic surgeon who has an expertise in fillers to evaluate you, and treat you.
This is precisely what Voluma is FDA-approved for. See the attached video.As always, find a reputable injector.Best wishes! Harry V. Wright MD, Sarasota, Florida
