Hi! I’m 28 yo and since when I was 25 I observed that my cheeks dropped giving me a bulldog effect and a more rounded face (I already had it but my jawline and lower face were slimmer). Now my face it’s getting more and more round and I’m loosing volume on upper part and aging volume on lower part. Which types of procedure should I considerate to fix this?

Answer: Options for "rounded face". Best way to improve facial proportions in younger patients. Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. You lower face is slightly wider as you have noted. In younger patients I would almost always suggest volume replacement / or volume augmentation in the cheeks (malar cheeks) / midface. This is often performed with hyaluronic acid fillers. If no improvement with a sufficient volume of filler injected in the midface, additional surgical procedure could be considered. Although, you do not have enough aging to require a lower facelift or necklift, as your question had suggested. Some surgeons may recommend buccal fat removal. Although, this would require an in person visit and thorough physical examination to determine whether you would be candidate for such an operation. Bottom line: consider midface / cheek fillers (such as Voluma) as the first step. I hope you find this information helpful. Kind regards! Dr. Harmych

Answer: ?Cheek Lift Hard to tell with your wide smile in all of the pictures, so a consultation is necessary. Your problem, according to your history seems to be in your mid-face, and a cheek lift might help. Other options are buccal fat removal, cheek implants, etc. Need better pictures and a consult, but it is doubtful that a facelift would be necessary.
