Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and RF treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I would recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Jowls and Pre-Jowl Concerns can be addressed without fillers by minimally invasive surgical techniques. You have not provided photos so the following are general recommendations that might apply to you. For example if jowls are a problem and it is mostly a fat issue (rather than skin redundancy) then liposuction using a very tiny cannula is helpful. Likewise fat transfer (for example from the Jowls, below the chin or from the tummy) can be used to fill in the slight hollowing in the pre-jowl area (the depression between the chin and the jowl). If loose skin is an issue then a mini-facelift such as a Lite Lift, MACS, etc is helpful.
Voluma and Restylane Lyft are excellent options for those with high cheekbones, but with sunken lower cheeks and jowls. This liquid dermal collagen stimulating product doesn't bulk up high cheekbones and give that appearance like the eyes are disappearing. I love it for people with a gaunt appearance. Of course, your personal board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon can best examine you and outline all your options.
For the central face, Voluma is a great option because the particle size is larger so it is able to plump this area quite well. If you could provide some photos, we may be able to be more specific.

Voluma has been my go-to filler for mid -facial and cheek volumization in virtually all my patients. We use a supra-periosteal injection technique and are seeing long-term volumization in our patients. I would start with one syringe split 50/50 along each cheek and mid-facial zone.
This is common and can be improved with fillers. some people do not have the anatomy to support the volume on top and you need filler or an implant to give the shape back. I suggest you see a cosmetic dermatologist with experinece in treating younger patients. Best, Dr. Emer.
I find that a combination of treatments are need for these lines including lasers/needling/fillers to stimulate collagen like Fraxel/PRP, Sculptra and soft fillers like Belotero and Restylane silk to hydrate and plump the skin. I suggest seeing an expert, solely doing a co2 resurfacing...
Thank you for your pictures. You could benefit from some modest increased cheek volume. I would seek practitioners with experience producing natural enhancement with fillers.
These lines are a mixture of aging and genetics. A combination of lasers and fillers can be used to give improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.
