I have a heavyish lower third that becomes more obvious when I smile (my lower cheeks expand out so that my face loses its V shape). I’ve been trying to correct this issue by adding filler to my upper cheeks (current pictures with blonde hair I have 2ml voluma in each cheek; brown hair is before anything). I definitely see a big improvement, but my lower cheeks are still wider than my upper when smiling. Would more filler help? The part that expands is NOT my masseters.

Answer: Heavy face Thanks for your question. I would not recommend you add volume (filler) to your face since your goal is to decrease the volume of the area. The photos appear to show you could benefit greatly from buccal fat extraction. This is done through a small incision inside your mouth.

Answer: Wider lower face I think the filler has added more to the midface and improved the balance. There may be some role in Botox to the mid face in addition to fat transfer or filler to the upper face. Buccal fat may be contributing as well. The best way to assess is a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to examine you and give your your optimal options tailored to your needs.
