Which procedure would help to improve the appearance of my mid-face? (photo)

Question

I've always been self-conscious of my nonexistent/low cheekbones. What procedures might I be interested in? Thank you.

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

This is a simple, everyday fix performed in just about any active cosmetic dermatology practice. The use an appropriately robust HA volumizing filler can quite easily contour the cheeks to create a more feminine, heart-shaped oval face with high cheekbone appearance. And, at the same time, it can secondarily improve the tear trough area below the eyes and create a more gentle transition between the upper cheek and lower eyelid regions. You would be wise to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Best of luck.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello Quadrophenia! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Thank you for your question. Based on your concerns, I recommend being treated with dermal fillers in the cheeks. This will add volume to your cheek bones and improve the shape of your midface. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Hello, hope you are well. Based on the photo you provided, you appear to be a great candidate for cheek augmentation (seeing a profile view is very helpful as well). Fillers are quite popular, but you may want to consider implants instead. Cheek implants are very straightforward to place in the office under local anesthesia. There is no visible scar, and the down time is minimal.
Best,Dr. Tower

You got it right by putting your question in the cheek augmentation area. We do that procedure in the office over bout 20 minutes.  And, you can drive off right afterwards.  The implants are natural looking and feeling and last a lifetime.  Watch our videos to learn more.

Dermal fillers are a good option for persons who desire to have higher, more pronounced cheekbones. An invasive treatment gives instant results that can last up to a year. Targeted Dermal Filler injections create new, delicate contours, which give the appearance of high cheekbones.I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if there are other aspects of your case that we should explore.
