Is this fat loss beneath my cheekbone? (photo)

Question

At certain angles I feel I look gaunt and like a skeleton. In only 33. It seems premature for below my cheekbones to start hollowing out. What should I do to fix this or prevent it? Am I being too nitpicky? It is bothering me so much now that I noticed it.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It seems like you have nasolabial folds (laugh lines) becoming more prominent. 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
