Is It Possible to Elevate Cheekbone Prominence?

Question

I'm assuming that high cheekbones means that the cheekbone is located closer to the eye, am I correct? So, when cheekbones are augmented, this means that it is modified so that the highest point of the cheekbone is closer to the eye? The reason I ask is that I don't have a flat face but I do have low cheekbones. I don't need any horizontal augmentation, but rather I need cheeks that are higher up on my face if that makes sense. Thanks!

Cheek implants for "low cheeks" are probably what you need and placed high on the cheek bone. There are several types of cheek implants and one of those does what you want.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Wat you are referring to is moving the most prominent portion of the cheek higher, not further outward. There are specific implants that can be modified to achieve that change on a permanent basis. Pictures with computer imaging can also be very helpful to be absolutely certain as to the location of the new prominence. You can also try some injectable filler treatments first to give the new cheek prominence a trial that will ultimately be easily reversible if undesired.

Would have been more helpful, had you posted your photos. It is possible to improve the projection and contour of cheek bones by either putting cheek implants, which come in different shapes and sizes or recontour cheek bones by injecting Raddies or Sculptra. The advantage of the latter option is that you will have the opportunity to evaluate and actively participate to reshape your cheek while fillers are being injected to reform your cheek bones

A sculpted cheek implant is the best way to permanently augment the cheek bone projection. You are correct when you suggest that the prominence is positioned closer to the eye.The cheek also can be  contoured with fat or a filler like Radiesse.

Hi.

	You articulate the problem very well.  Radiesse injected against the bone is the most effective treatment.  It is safe and lasts years.  We no longer use cheekbone implants because they have significant complications and often don't look natural.
