I feel like I have no cheekbones from the side. From the front you can see the outline of my jaw around my mouth. Would maxillofacial therapy help?
Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: I Have No Cheekbones From the Side? Voluma and Sculptra Can Build Elegant Cheekbones You have a nice bone structure from the front view, but you’re right: Your cheekbones look flat in profile. While you could consider a permanent solution, such as cheek implants, I’d recommend using Voluma and/or Sculptra to build up the flatness in the front. These dermal fillers do a wonderful job of creating beautiful, natural-looking curves and volume. And if you decide you don’t like the look, they will dissipate over the next year or two. Fillers could be your permanent solution — if you maintain them every year or two — or could be used to “audition” a new look before committing to surgery. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist who is expert in facial sculpting will let you try your new cheekbones on “for size.”

Answer: Cheek augmentation It appears that your cheeks are a bit flat in the area below lower eyelids.This is most likely due to mild hypoplasia of the cheek bones. This can be corrected with volume augmentation including fillers (temporary), fat grafts (very good results in your age group) or small cheek implants. In-person evaluation and consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation would help. Good luck.
