What are these dents on my cheeks called? (Photo)

Question

Evening. I'm a 28 year old male who has noticed for the last year or so, these dents on my face. I was wondering what are these called and what procedure can be done to minimize them or get rid of them. These make me look about 7 years older and realized, by looking at pictures, that I had these for the last two years more or less and seems to be getting worse. I don't know if this helps but by body fat is around 27%, maybe more.

It appears that you have a depression in your cheek.  This can be the result of volume loss but it can also be hereditary or be due to other causes.  Injectable fillers are frequently used to treat this issue.  There are a variety of fillers that could be used, including Voluma, Radiesse, Sculptra and Bellafill.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Fillers or fat grafting into that area may help with your issue. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

It is very difficult to see exact location and size of dents from this photo? In person consultation would help to evaluate the problem and discuss options of treatment.
