Would I be a good candidate for cheek fillers? I want a more high boney look for my cheeks. (photos)

Question

My face is round and but Ive been losing weight so I know it will go down in time, but I wanted cheek fillers for a high boney cheek look. I'm just wondering if it would just make my face look chubbier or would it look more prominent.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  With that
being said, based on your photographs, you may benefit from a filler such as voluma in your malar region.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello chelseayoungCandidates for cheek implant includes people with weak cheek structure, narrow or flat face, and also those who have lost their natural cheek contour due to age can benefit it. 
  
You may be a good candidate for facial implants if you:
  
Are physically healthy
  
Do not smoke
  
Have specific goals in mind for improvement of your cheek.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Hyaluronic Dermal fillers are a good starting point as they are temporary and give you the results of a cheek enhancement with out the commitment of an implant. There are also longer lasting fillers such as Voluma, sculptura, radiesse and Bellafill that can be used to create more defined cheekbones. Fat transfer is also an excellent way to enhance the cheekbones and is permanent. I perform cheek implants in cases where there is an extreme flatness to the cheeks. I verify placement with a camera to maximally it ensure symmetry.  I suggest an in person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics to review all your options for optimal results.

Yes, facial contour and volume of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It appears that on top of weight loss you may have an underlying mild malar (cheek bone) hypoplasia (poorly developed cheek bones, mild in your case).This condition will significantly improve with augmentation of the cheeks and periorbital (around the eyes/orbits) with fat grafts or fillers (Voluma, Resylane). Possibly small cheek implants?A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation to discuss your options should be your next step. Good luck.
