Would implants improve my recessed cheekbones? (Photo)

Question

I believe I have a bit recessed cheekbones, would cheekbone implants help me get more angular look to my face?

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Cheek implants simply augment a flat maxilla and a flat cheek profile, they do not given angular look. Cheek implants are composed of Silastic, are inserted through an intra-oral approach under brief general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. For many examples, please see the link and video below

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Your assumption about the value of cheek implants to your face is correct. With very strong brow bones and chin/jawline, your cheeks are curiously lacking in that same amount of skeletal prominence. More defined cheeks would be the 'missing' element to an overall facial angularity.

Hi, from the attached photos, your cheeks are quite flat anteriorly (in the front).  I have performed many cheek augmentations, using cheek implants, to shape and contour the cheeks adding angularity to the face which is perceived as ruggedly handsome.  Hope this helps.
