A good way to determine whether someone might benefit from nonsurgically revolumizing the cheeks and the mid-face region is to ask them to smile. If the smile lifts the fallen tissue back into place and rounds the contours of the cheeks making them appear more youthful, it is a good indication that nonsurgically volumizing the above regions with injectable volumizing agents, would yield immediate, durable, and gratifying results. For nonsurgically augmenting cheeks, I prefer to use Radiesse or Radiesse combined with Perlane L. I rely on these agents for these purposes in my Upper East Side New York City practice. In Israel, where I have a satellite office and where a far greater number of more robust volumizing fillers are available, I prefer to use Juvederm Voluma or Stylage XXL, either alone or in combination with Radiesse or Restylane SubQ..
High or prominent cheek bones give a more youthful and balanced face. This can be done with temporary fillers or permanent cheek implants.
In most patients, fullness in the upper cheeks can definitely help create a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers such as Juvederm can be used to add volume to the cheeks and create the illusion of having higher cheekbones. Hope this answers your question.
Cheek bone help but it is also the soft tissue over them and it's position that really creates the look. Children have "cherubic" looks on their cheeks from the soft tissue not prominent bone. As we age the soft tissue deflates and descends giving that flat, gaunt look. That's why deep regenerative fillers such as Sculptra are so helpful. Surgical goals area also aimed at raising the cheek tissue back to their original position so the bone projects them better.
Full cheeks give a look of usefulness. Flat hypoplastic cheeks give sign of aging. Augmentation of the cheek. With Silastic cheek implants is high and prominent cheekbones and more youthfullness to the mid face
As I outlined, in my book on the aesthetics of facial beauty, the cheeks do have the ability to make the face more naturally attractive by approaching the aesthetic ideal shape for a female or a male face. The female shape is full and round while the male shape is much more angular. This can be done with fillers (I prefer Perlane) or cheek implants.
The youthful face has a fullness and elevation in the upper quadrants with a narrowing or tapering toward the perioral region and chin. It might be said that the older face becomes deflated and somewhat “bottom heavy”. Deeper stimulatory fillers such as Sculptra or Radiesse, when strategically injected high along the cheekbones and lateral face, will create a much better lifting effect for sagging skin. Restoration of volume in the upper face can lessen or reverse the bottom-heavy, deflated appearance of the aging face.
High cheekbones make you look like a person with high cheekbones. Often this is an attractive appearance.
