What can I do to correct low hanging, undefined cheeks? 18 y/o (photos)

Question

I have a long face and yet my cheeks almost seem to hang “low” and seem quite undefined. What can I do to fix this? I am 18 years old for reference

Your cheeks appear to have decent volume. Cheek implants would add more contour and definition to your upper cheeks (by the cheek bone), while having a slight lifting affect on the lower parts. You may possibly think about a fat transfer too. It depends on what you are looking for! Our office provides in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!

Hello, hope you are well. Based on you concerns and the photos you provided, you can consider cheek augmentation with injectable dermal filler or implants. Dermal fillers are temporary, but can give you a sense of how enhancing the structure of your cheeks can change your appearance. Cheek implants are another option which have a lot of advantages (permanence, symmetry, structure). They can effectively lift and augment your cheeks in a very natural appearing way. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower

​Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and RF treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I would recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist to discuss the use of an appropriately robust HA volumizing filler. In the hands of an experienced injector the cheeks can be easily contoured to create a more ideal, feminine, oval, heart-shaped face. The treatment takes about fifteen minutes in experienced hands and the results are typically immediate. So, no worries, and best of luck.
