Can Restylane or Botox give you high cheekbones?

Hello and thank you for your question. Restylane Contour is a great product to help give the appearance of better cheek definition and fill out the volume in this area. Additionally, Restylane Lyft is a firmer product which could provide a higher projection difference in your cheek bones if a more drastic augmentation is desired. It is a common misconception that once fillers wear off that they leave sagging skin behind; this is not true

Hi @hannahhan95y! Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma are both great products for lifting. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!

Volumizing fillers are routinely used these days by advanced injectors to augment the cheekbones, increase projection, and enhance light reflection. Ordinary Restylane is best reserved for filling simple lines and wrinkles. Voluma XC would be a more appropriate choice and is the product I typically choose in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice. . Another possible product for this purpose is Restylane Lyft. (In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of  regulatory agency approved volumizing fillers are available, I typically opt for Stylage XXL and Emervel Volume). All of the above are natura,l hyaluronic acid-based products, and as such are subject to the body's normal, metabolic degradative processes over time. The gradual dissolution and reabsorption of the material does not result in sagging, which is a consequence of the aging process itself and not the fillers and volumizing fillers used to combat it. Botox, like the other commercially available muscle relaxing agents, Dysport and Xeomin, are intended to relax the muscles of facial expression, such as those responsible for the development of crow's feet wrinkles around the eyes, forehead worry lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. It is not intended to supply volume or projection. You would be well advised to seek consultation by a board certified aesthetic physician with expertise and experience in the advanced uses of fillers for nonsurgical cheek augmentation. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for your query. Botox is botulinum toxin and is use to relax the muscle, so it is used for easing out the

wrinkles like crows feet, frown lines etc whereas filler are hyaluronic acid which helps in contouring the face.

High cheeck bones can be done using restylane. When it weans out it , it slowly flushes out leaving you where

you started or a little better but it doesn’t cause your skin to sag. Hope it helps.All The Best

Adding structure is only possible with fillers. Botox is a muscle relaxant for wrinkles. Many different fillers can be used - Restylane, Voluma, or juvederm are commonly used. 1-2 mL MAX should be used to maintain a natural appearance.
