Am I a good candidate for cheek filler? Is it possible to create some natural contour on my cheekbones with Juvederm? (photo)

Hi Sincere374676,

Juvederm Voluma and Volux are both great products to help create facial contouring in the areas you are interested in. I would recommend you come in for an in person consultation with our nurse injector for your best options.

ABSOLUTELY! You are young and just little a little more definition. Filler can be used to lift and contour the skin giving you the results that you are looking for. Look for a qualified medical provider to have a consultation and procedure with.

The short answer to your question is that there are a number of robust HA volumizing fillers that are routinely used to nonsurgically contour a more feminine, heart-shaped, oval face. That being said, this is best accomplished with HA fillers specifically designed for providing volume. Plain Juvederm or simple Restylane would not be ideal for this purpose of volume replacement and generally would not provide a durable response. You would be wise to make sure that you are consulting with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and not just any venue selling treatments of ordinary fillers by the syringe. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Yes, you can get more definition with Juvederm and you would do well with Sculptra injections for better and longer lasting effects.

You appear to be a great candidate for filler! It can add volume and enhance facial contours for a very natural look. The treatment is done in the office and you'll be able to see some of the results right away. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day for healthy skin.

You are a great candidate for volumization in the midface. Voluma adds contour and lift that actually makes a round face appear thinner. One of the nice things about Voluma in particular is that it lasts a good long time, up to 2 years! I do usually recommend a touch up around a year to maintain results.

Based on your pictures you may benefit from treatment with cheek and/or midface fillers including FDA products like the Restylane or Juvederm line of dermal fillers. Cheek and midface fillers are aimed to restore volume loss secondary to the normal aging process or to provide contouring definition to enhance the appearance. A FaceTime or in-person consultation with an aesthetic specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

Your flat cheeks have been inherited from your father‘s side of the family. I would not recommend using fillers, especially in the lower eyelid area since they will create more problems and be extremely expensive in the long run. You will need a large amount of filler to create beautiful cheeks, and you will have to repeat the process every 6 to 12 months in order to maintain the volume desired. My recommendation to you is use your own fat which in the right hands can give you permanent and natural results. The results of fat grafting can be literally custom made to the patient in order to create the best results possible, I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
