Would I be a good candidate for cheek augmentation? (photos)

Hello johnsmthCandidates for cheek implant includes people with weak cheek structure, narrow or flat face, and also those who have lost their natural cheek contour due to age can benefit it.

You may be a good candidate for facial implants if you:

Are physically healthy

Do not smoke

Have specific goals in mind for improvement of your cheek. 

Hello, Thank you for your question. You would need to see a surgeon and discuss a nose job to fix the asymmetry that your seeing in your nostrils. You will always have a bit of asymmetry in the face. This is common and normal. However you may consider things like CoolMini or Kybella to define the jawline a little more. Doctors can also inject some filler along the jaw to give it a stronger appearance. Filler in the cheek will also help the face appear more balanced and symmetrical. It is ideal to have a consultation with an experienced doctor, to guarantee that you are able to get the look your going for. Good luck!

Facial asymmetry is normal condition and based on your photos you appear to fit within this group. However, some improvement can be made in multiple areas providing that there is objective reason for that. Multiple types of fillers are available for purpose of volume augmentation of the weak areas. However, in your age fat grafts should be considered because of very good results we have with this technique in younger population and cost. Your next step should be a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation and fat grafting. Good luck.

Facial symmetry of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. These fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. However, surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

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.
