Still trying to understand the role of fillers and cheekbones. I have low cheekbones and a relatively flat face. When I make a big smile, the cheekbones are on the level of my lower nose. I feel that if Juvederm is significantly injected into the upper cheek area that this will lift my lower cheeks and make them appear less bulky. In doing that, will my face become distorted by technically having an upper and lower cheekbone? I'm confused as to how the filler masks the lower cheeks.
Answer: Voluma and Sculptra Thank you for your photo. You may want to consider Voluma or Sculptra. Sculptra is an injectable treatment that functions as a volumizer and causes your body to produce its own filler. It is used to add volume to the face. Sculptra is a purified treatment of poly-L-lactic acid. When injected in the face, it stimulates your body to produce additional collagen, which will fill in the desired areas. Your body will begin producing collagen after a few weeks. Most people get 2-3 treatments to achieve ideal results. Once achieved, these results may last up 2-3 years. Voluma is a filler and derived from hyaluronic acid which is a moisturizer found naturally in your body. For more information, please get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: Cheek fillers Thank you for your question and for submitting your photo. It's difficult to make a complete assessment based on single a side photo. That said, based on what you are describing, you may be a good candidate for dermal fillers to lift and contour your cheeks.Generally speaking, one of the main reasons (in addition to genetics, sun exposure, etc) we start to notice sagging of central face area is fat loss, particularly in the lateral cheeks. Injecting fillers in this area helps replace some of the lost fat, and can subtly lift the cheeks and contour the jawline. I often prefer to use Voluma in this area rather than Juvederm, as I feel it provides better lift and is a longer-lasting product. I think it's also important to remember that men have different facial structures than women, and improperly placed filler in men can actually feminize the face. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in men's aesthetics to discuss your concerns. Best of luck!
