Filler recs for skeletal face? And can you fill under cheeks? (Photo)

Question

I'm 31 and my face looks a bit gaunt and skeletal to me. What would you recommend? I feel like the area on the right side under my check is especially gaunt, but it seems to be more trendy now to remove fat from there. Can you fill there with a hyaluronic acid filler? And what else do you recommend? Was thinking temples or under-eyes, but my current Dermatologist disagrees

HA fillers are a great tool to add volume and sculpt facial contours.  From your photo it appears cheek filler would look nice on you.  See an experienced injector for best results.

A wonderful option for providing natural facial fullness, contour and structure are collagen biostimulators such as Sculptra. This avoids the need for using fillers and has a very natural result since it works by stimulating your own collagen. It even tends to last longer than fillers as well and maintenance treatments are very easy ! For a face that is starting to slim out or appear gaunt, collagen stimulators and fat restoration treatments are great!

Kisu Sung, MD · Answer

if your concerns are the gaunt and skeletal face , fillers are also an option but you can also try facial fat grafting. Looks more natural and effective for fine lines as well :)!
