What should I do about cheekbone indents? A doctor told me it is a separation from the cheek muscle. Options? (photo)

I have always had these, even as a kid. My mom has them too. It shows worse in different lighting but you can feel the crease. I have been told everything from fat-graph, to mini-face lift (I just turned 30), to juvederm voluma or restylane lyft. I want something long lasting (permanent hopefully) to fill these creases, but if fillers are the best way to go I am open to that too. I would like to know what these are officially called.
