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

ReineroSep 8, 2019
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'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.

Thank you for your question. Without an exam, it can be hard to give you specific advice. It depends on exactly what you are interested in and what the problem is. There are surgical methods to move the maxilla, but this is often reserved for reconstructive purposes rather than cosmetic ones as...

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
