Hello-- I'm interested in increasing the projection of my cheekbones, but I'm hesitant about filler because my cheeks are already full; it's only the bone itself is recessed and I don't want to look chubbier. As you can see it looks fine from the side but at certain angles the deficiency is very visible. I've considered cheek implants but I've heard they're not used much. I just want it to be less flat in the front and no wider at the sides since my face is already wide. What are my options?

Answer: Cheek augmentation Thank you for your great question and photos. Dermal fillers, when placed appropriately and in the correct quantities, can create appropriate restoration of volume in the frontal part of your cheek and in many cases can actually slim the face. Dermal fillers can last about a year and can give you a nice result. Most hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved. An experienced provider can examine you with proper lighting and give you an appropriate assessment and plan to address volume decrease in the front without adding volume on the sides of your cheeks.

Answer: Cheek Implants Your best and only permanent option is cheek implants. I am not sure where the information comes from that says they are not used much. While filler is far more common done it is not permanent nor does does it have a true bone enhancing effect. While cheek implants are a good option for you your cheek augmentation needs are unique as you have described them and as our pictures show. That is a more anterior type off cheek augmentation that does not widen the face. That takes the proper selection of implant style and unique placement with screw fixation to get the type of cheek augmentation effect you desire.
