How can I can reduce my cheekbones without surgery? Is there a safer option? (photo)

Thank you for your question and photo. While injectable treatment options can’t reduce volume caused by bone projection, they can sculpt and contour the face to create a harmonious appearance. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can volumize shallow contours to balance the facial features and provide results that can last for a year or more, depending on the formula used. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve them.

Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill, Contour) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
