Asked By:dar8546 in Gainesville, FL

I used to have full cheeks, which now appear hollow. I have always been very slim and athletic, so I am not sure what caused my cheeks to suddenly disappear, but I started noticing the lines after I had undergone an orthodontic treatment with 2 teeth on my lower jaw extracted due to overcrowding. Could this have caused the problem? What is the best treatment for me now? I am highly opposed to surgical procedures at my age.
