How can I get prominent cheekbones?

Question

I have now for a couple of years been researching ways you can keep prominent angular cheekbones,but there's a lot of mixed reviews and opinions. I want cheekbones kind of like the pic of Johnny Depp that I have inserted. I am really considering Buccal fat removal with 1,5 cc of radiesse in each cheekbone or maybe even malar implants, although they are said to give you more fullness than angularity with a don't want.

My recommendation for you would be to have malar (cheek) implants to give you more prominent cheek bones.  Fillers, such as Radiesse could be used but I think the implants would give more prominence.  I would not recommend buccal fat removal.

I suggest you see an expert in male facial sculpting.  The best fillers in men are more for defining and sculpting, typically I like radiesse or voluma with sculptra as a base.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello Daniel,I would first start with the Radiesse and see if you can achieve the look with the filler as this is my favorite filler to create a more angular cheekbone.  When filler is injected, it shifts the surrounding structures to give the illusion of a different face shape.  Then, if you are still not where you want to be with your look, seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon will help you complete the look you are going for.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hi DanielAlm,Thank you for taking the time to submit your question and photographs! Dermal fillers are a great method for shaping and contouring the face. I would even recommend starting with just  Non-Surgical Cheek Augmentation before having Buccal Fat Removal. In my San Francisco practice, I really like using Juvederm Voluma for cheekbone augmentation, and for the following 3 reasons:1. It gives great definition to the face and natural looking augmentation2. It can last up to 24 months3. It is reversible if neededI hope this was helpful!Good luck and stay beautiful!

You have a nice-looking face, so I would warn you away from drastic plastic surgeries. If you want to add more volume and lift in the cheekbone area, I'd suggest using a thicker dermal filler such as Radiesse or Restylane Lyft. If you're happy with the look, then you could move on to implants, if you like, or just continue regular filler sessions. The fillers can last for up to a year or more. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to show you what your cheekbones will look like after they've been treated with a dermal filler.
