I’ve notice that my cheeks crease up when I smile since I was about 16 and now I’m seeing fine lines as a result, even when not smiling. Would Botox or filler help this at all? Is it just bad bone structure?! I’m 34 and otherwise my skin is pretty ok - always wear sunblock on face etc. My Mum has a similar shape face and she’s often mentioned having these lines all over her cheeks, which I really want to avoid. Thank you!

Answer: Skin Quality Boosters Can Help To Diminish Crinkly, Crepey Skin The problem that you describe and is evident in the photo on the lower cheek region to the sides of the angles of the mouth is actually a fairly common one. I have personally found the use of injectable skin quality boosters to be an effective means for reducing this problem. Skin quality boosters are fillers specifically designed to be injected high up in the skin and to promote increased skin hydration and turgor and some degree of tightening following a series of two to four treatment sessions spaced at four to six week intervals. Although currently there is no product approved for this indication in the States, in my NY practice I rely upon fillers, such as Restylane Silk or Belotero Balance for this purpose. In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers are available, I opt for Restylane Skin Boosters & Hydromax. The material may be injected as microdroplets in a grid pattern or fanned throughout the region. Occasionally, to soften the underlying movement that gives rise to this problem, dilute microdroplets of Botox may also be injected in a grid pattern, but this should only be done in this region by an experienced injector and in quantities and concentrations that do not interfere with normal smiling. Microneedling and superficial chemical peels may also be occasionally needed to achieve optimal results. Be wary of claims for this or that supposedly new and improved light or energy-based devices, as these relatively expenses approaches are backed far more by device manufacturer backed marketing and advertising than hard science. You would be wise to consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

Answer: Dynamic cheek wrinkles? Filler Treatment Fillers are commonly injected to smooth these lines. HA or hyaluranic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane work well in this area. Filler in this area will last 6 to 9 months.
