What treatment would be best for line running down my right cheek? (Photo)

Question

Please help, I have a line running down my right hand side not left. Unsure how to treat?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

What you are seeing is a result of fat in that area that has shifted downwards which we see oftentimes when people are in their 20s-30s. It is likely that you probably sleep on the right side which speeds up the aging process on that side. That line running down your cheek that you are mentioning is the zygomatic-cutaneous retaining ligament (see link). The best solution for this is a cheek filler to shift the volume back into that area. Good options for filler are Voluma, Lyft, or Radiesse.
