Male, 25. Cheek Descent and volume loss - can this be fixed without changing the shape of my eyes? (Photos)

Question

I’m 25 and Lost some weight last year, i’ve started losing volume under my eyes and on my cheeks like 5 years ago but last year has made me looking way older. Im considering midface lift or some other surgical procedure that will lift descended tissue and fix my hollowed under eye area and nosolabial folds especially the fat that moved from my cheekbone down and more to the center of my face, making the fold thicker, longer and my cheek is now flat and hollowed under the cheekbone, is this reversable and possible to achive without risk of changing the shape of my eye like this Instagram look transtemporal lifts?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

Volume loss in the cheeks typically results accentuation of the smile folds, as well as hollowing under the eyes. Accordingly, the use an appropriately selected, robust HA volumizing filler properly injected in the region of the cheeks indirectly improves under-eye hollows and tear troughs and, at the same time, through a lift, diminishing the smile folds. The reason: the upper cheeks provide support to the under eyes and when this support is restored with the proper filler, the transition between the upper cheeks and the under-eyes is smoothed and the hollows are secondarily diminished. Additionally, the restored volume to the cheeks provides the necessary lift to diminish the smile folds below.
So, before jumping into expensive, aggressive surgery with its attendant prolonged, post-surgical downtime, you may wish to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injector expert. It is especially important to consult an expert, since the injection of the cheeks must be done in  the appropriate manner in order to preserve a masculine contour and not inadvertently feminize the face. In experienced hands, the treatment ordinarily takes about fifteen minutes to perform, typically yields immediate "Wow!" results, and usually engenders little to no significant, post-treatment downtime. 
Hope this helps and best of luck.
