What can I do to get high cheekbones? I have chubby cheeks but flat cheekbones (Photo)

Question

I have a round face. I have fat collected in Jowl area and no volume in cheekbones. I also have big eyes and having no cheekbone volume makes my eyes look heavier. If I get cheekbone fillers would it make my cheeks look bigger, would I need buccal fat removal? The girl in the first two pictures has a round face, (I know I don't look like her) and I like how her cheeks look, I would like my cheeks to look like that, not too edgy. By the way I'm 21 years old

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.

To get closer to the midface result that you want you need a combination of cheek augmentation and defatting below the cheeks. Injectable fillers are a temporary method to see what cheek augmentation will do but actually placing implants and doing the defatting through a subtotal buccal lipectomy and premolar liposuction can create the more complete and permanent effect

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Fillers offer a temporary augmentation in the cheek area and must be repeated on a yearly basis. Cheek implants offer a permanent augmentation to cheeks. Cheek implants are inserted through an intra-oral approach  under a brief general anesthesia. Cheek implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, which is best determined at the time of examination and consultation, since the cheeks are a three-dimensional structure.

You are absolutely correct, you would benefit from augmentation to your cheek area.  You can use fillers or implants...both have pros and cons.  Women are more beautiful, soft and feminine when they have full, round, 'apple' cheeks.  See the link below for information on cheek implants.  Then view the link to dermal fillers to view video of fillers to the cheeks!
