Cheek fillers for a 20 year old? (photos)

Question

I feel that the apples of my cheeks are lacking in fullness and it ages my face beyond my 20 years. What kind of fillers would be appropriate for someone so young?

John Mesa, MD · Answer

In my practice, I recommend my patients, specially young patients interested in addressing the lack of fullness of the apples of their cheeks initially with soft tissue fillers made of hyaluronic acid because they have the advantage of being 100% reversible.Voluma is a hyaluronic acid based filler designed specifically to  augment the mid face ( apples of the cheeks). When administered by a board certified plastic surgeon specialized in cometic plastic surgery procedures of the face like injectables, patients, specially young patients, could achieve a great enhancement of their cheeks.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You can use fat, fillers, sculptra all to enhance the cheeks even at a young age. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatoogist with experience in facial sculpting.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Voluma or Restalyne Lift will give you subtle changes and are reversible. See an experienced injector.

You photo is very normal for a 20 year old and I would not suggest doing any fillers at your age.  Overfilling can alter your appearance and would not look natural.

David P. Melamed, MD · Answer

There are very good fillers on the market today, one being Voluma that gives fullness to the cheeks.At your age it is important to consult an experienced doctor and not to inject too much or too little to change the shape of the face but rather to contour.

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, cheek fillers such as Voluma will create a nice improvement in your cheek volume and cheek shape. Seek a consultation with an experienced physician injector. Make sure that you like their before and after results. Cheeks are the new lips, meaning alot of injectors who know little about the shape of a beautiful cheek are injecting people with fillers in that area. Find someone who will create a natural, beautiful result for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers of facial implants (cheeks, chin) over the past 30 years.  From the attached photos, the cheeks are flat
anteriorly (in the front) with the left flatter than the right, there is some excess fat below and in front of the cheeks along with a weak chin.  These combine
to create an elongated oval shaped face.  Following the beauty principles
outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine,
youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces.  Heart shaped faces have cheeks
that are full and round in the front.  Cheek augmentation using a dermal filler
(I prefer Restylane Lyft) or with cheek implants for a permanent enhancement
will create full, round cheeks anteriorly that will feminize the entire face.  When the chin is weak, this creates an
imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower
face appear shorter which de-emphasizes the shape and fullness of the lips.  Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, will add projection to the chin
creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have found placing a silastic
chin implant through a small, curved, incisions under the chin to be very safe,
quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty that
requires bone cuts with placement of screws and metal plates.Hope this helps.
