I naturally have flat cheekbones and excess fat in the apples of my cheeks. Facial fillers (various HAs) have given me cheekbones that look lovely when I'm not smiling. However, when I smile, my cheeks appear overly full. Are there any techniques or alternative procedures that would allow me to keep the cheekbones without distorting my cheeks when I smile?

Answer: Overly Full--Facial fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Perlane, Bellafill): Sculptra, implants or fat for cheek augmentation This is difficult to answer without a picture. In addition to fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Perlane, Bellafill): Sculptra, implants or fat can be used for cheek augmentation. It may be an adjustment needs to be made to the amount injected or a different technique would give you better results. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a facial contouring expert.

Answer: Facial fillers (various HAs) have given me cheekbones that look lovely when not smiling but cheeks too full when smiling. Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help with the evaluation. I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces. Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front. Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face. From your description, I suspect that there is excess fat below and in front of the flat area of your cheeks that is brought back up on the cheeks with smiling making them look too full and large. Liposuction to reduce the excess fat combined with precise placement of an HA dermal filler to the front of the cheeks or cheek implants for a permanent enhancement might be considered.Hope this helps.
