How can I make sure to avoid the chipmunk cheek, fat cheek, round apple look with filler to the cheekbone? (Photo)

Asked By:fitsknits in New York, New York

I've noticed in many after pictures of patients and celebs that doctors try to create an ogee curve that looks very unnatural and too full. It is unnatural because it defies natural cheekbone placement. A good example of this is what happened to Megan Fox. In videos of her talking, you can see that she is overfilled at the apple and the entire cheek is way too big and doesn't move. Is it possible to only inject at the upper and lateral zygomatic arch if I want a thin, sculpted look?
