I want cheek fillers, but I don't want my face to look too chubby or fat! What do you doctors think? (Photo)

Thank you for your pictures.  You could benefit from some modest increased cheek volume.  I would seek practitioners with experience producing natural enhancement with fillers.  

Cheek implants versus fillers for droopy cheeks? Your plan of fillers first and then cheek implants is a good one. Make sure you have lost all the weight you were going to lose before starting. Some patients lose fat in their face and others do not in the same proportion. See a very experienced surgeon who produces natural results. 

I suggest researching.  Find someone that treats younger patients, has a high level or detail and expertise, and uses cannulas when he can to limit complications. Look at online reviews and do not compromise on cost or distance.  You are young and should grow with someone long term, so find someone who is conservative and will do little bits at a time to get you the ultimate results long term.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Your submitted photos are not ideal to evaluate your specific needs. But, in general, cheek fillers will allow "sculpting" your cheeks to your desires. The variables are the artistic "talents" and experience of the injector and the amount of filler used. You could start conservative, see how you like it and then always add more. The actual choice of filler is less important though they may vary in duration. Good luck.

 Fillers offer a temporary augmentation to the cheek area. The amount of volume is directly related to how much product is injected. Most fillers give a visual improvement for 6-8 months. Cheek implants offer a permanent solution to augment flat cheeks. Cheek implants are placed for patients who have a flat cheek and flat maxilla and require augmentation. Cheek implants are composed of Silastic, are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are inserted  through an intra-oral approach under a brief general anesthesia.

  Hi, based upon the attached photos the cheeks are flat anteriorly (in the front) as viewed in the non-smiling photos.  This is the best photo for cheek evaluation.  In the smiling photo, the remaing facial fat (I call this baby fat as it mostly disappears by the mid twenties) is pulled up over the cheeks making them appear more full and round.   In my book on face and body beauty, I discuss the fact that female faces look the most beautiful and naturally attractive when the anterior cheeks are full and round.  This feminizes the entire face making it more heart-shaped.  Dermal fillers (I prefer Perlane) can be meticulously added to the front protion of the cheeks to create that shape.  The mid and outer sections of the cheeks should not be augmented with dermal fillers as this widens the cheeks, broadens the face and makes it appear more angular and masculine.    Cheek augmentation, with cheek implants, may also be considered at some point for a more permanent enhancement.  I did want to point out that the chin is quite weak which can make the mid-face appear somewhat top-heavy.  Chin augmentation, with a dermal filler (I prefer Perlane or radiuses) or using a chin implant for a permanent enhancement can provide harmony and balane to the lower face.  Hope this helps.
