I already have a wide face? How exactly can I get that model cheekbone look permanently?

Question

I had fillers done so I currently have that look, but soon I'll have to redo it because it is every year. I heard if I get cheek implants it'll just widen my face, and my face is already wide from the jaw implants I received. How exactly can I get that model look with their cheekbones popping out aka Johnny Depp or male models without widening my face, and have it permanently? I don't want to keep redoing fillers every year. It's costly. Any suggestions?

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Cheek implants can help many patients achieve a permanent result they desire.  Your facial bone anatomy will need to be carefully analyzed in person before an operative plan can be considered.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Implants or fat would be a permanent option for cheek augmentation. Harvesting is important for successful transfer. I use gentle water-assisted harvesting to get the most viable fat to transfer. I combine with prp and sculptra to improve results. See a facial sculpting expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

1. High cheek bones. Can be accomplished with implants or filler (such as voluma)
2. Angular jaw/chin. Neck/chin liposuction. Sometimes botox, filler, kybella can be used to define the area
3. Indented cheeks. surgical removal of malar fat fat. 
4. Prominent chin/jaw- chin/jaw implants. 
Some of these procedures are best done by dermatologists and some others by plastic surgeons.

If you are getting your desired look by injectable fillers then it is encouraging that special designed cheek implants may be able to achieve the desired effect on a permanent basis. Custom cheek implants would need to be designed using a 3D CT scan with the knowledge of the location of the filler effects. No standard type of cheek implant is going to work for your cheek augmentation needs.
