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

Question

Is there a safer option than surgery ( e.x injections ) ? My high cheeks bones are my biggest insecurity and I'm afraid of surgery. I did read about different techniques such as either shaving the bones or cutting them. Can Botox be used to reduce the volume ? What would you recommend?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

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.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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
