Do Face Exercises to Develop and Create Higher Cheekbones Really Work?

As of this writing, our office is unaware of any exercise program that can do this.  If you start on a type of program, please take photos and take copious notes.  You can them judge if there is any benefit.  Typically one needs volume in the area.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I am not aware of an exercise regime for the face that yields clinically significant results. Non-Surgical approach especially for cheeks can create lovely soft and subtly enhanced contours. 
Please do share your experience though if you do go along this route! 
Hope this helps and best wishes,

Facial exercises do in fact give you peace of mind that you are working on anti-aging; however, they, in reality do not and cannot work.  High cheek bones are acquired genetically and consist of bone structure, fat, tissue and muscle. Working on one part of the picture doesn't help the the overall portrait. Additionally, building muscle strength and size requires an opposing force such as building biceps while lifting weights.  There is no opposing force with facial exercises so increasing the cheekbones' size via muscle building cannot occur.  However,  you possibly might increase wrinkles with all the facial movement.

Dear morocha10: With all due respect to the exercise guru’s out there, facial exercises promote:·         Hypertrophic muscles,·         Fat loss and·         Skin lines.I am an avid promoter of proper lifestyle including exercise and diet but exercising the face make one appear more aged and not less. In general, muscle mass “grows” or hypertrophies in the mid-muscle body and not at the ends. Therefore these exercises,·         accentuate an imbalance of the more youthful appearance of high “cheekbones”·         accentuate the folds and lines of the skin; eg., forehead furrows, crow’s feet, lip lines, etc.·         highlight the medial bands and pull the jowl down All of these facial exercises are contrary to the “cherub” like faces of youth or the rejuvenated high cheek / heart-shaped appearance of a well contoured face.  Please visit an artsy, talented and skilled, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who understands the non-surgical, minimally invasive and surgical options to properly rejuvenate the face. I hope this helps. All the best!
