Can I "fix" my cheek dip? (photos)

February 14, 2022
Asked By:GenuineGuy in Los Angeles, California

I have a dip across my cheek, on one side of my face, under my eyes, along the zygomatic muscle. It is very obvious at times and makes me self-conscious. There appears to be "swelling" above it, which I think was caused by filler many (many) years ago. Everything has been dissolved *very* thoroughl, but the swollen area remains. I know that I could get filler put in this area, but I have a "fat face" already and don't wish to over-fill and would prefer to fix surgically. What are my options?

What procedures can I get (besides threads) to lift my cheeks or get rid of the fat in my lower face and around my jaw? (Photo)
Jason Emer, MD says:

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...

22 yo. Have droopy malar fat pads and deep nasolabial folds. What options besides fillers/Botox could correct this? (photos)
Jason Emer, MD says:

Fillers are great nonsurgical options. 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.

I have deep smile lines and dislike my side profile. Do I need a surgical cheek lift, fillers, or something else? (photos)
Jason Emer, MD says:

A combination approach would give the most improvement. Deep wrinkles and smile lines can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works...
