Hello! I am considering getting cheek fillers in the future, along with (possibly) other procedures to make my face shorter and "cuter". My face is also quite flat and even sunken in some areas - especially the apples of my cheeks/undereyes. I am wondering if cheek fillers, along with adding volume to my cheeks, will help my face appear shorter/plumper, to get that "cute" look? Thank you!

Answer: Will cheek fillers help make my face appear shorter/cuter? Yes I recommend Juvederm's VOLUMA HA filler 2 to 4 syringes to improve the volume in your mid face area...

Answer: Dear dancer5962, Dear Cheek Filler for a Cuter Face Although difficult to tell from the photos that you submitted, your physical description of a flattened mid-face and lack of projection through the cheeks may well be a sign of some hereditary lack of cheekbone projection and sunkenness of the undereye. This constellation of findings in common in the aging face, but when present in more youthful faces, it is usually as a result of insufficient bony structure. It has been my experience that artificial extensive bony grafting or extensive craniofacial surgery is usually not warranted in these circumstances, as the advent and innovation of new soft tissue fillers that are safe and long-lasting make volumization of the face a much simpler, safer and aesthetically pleasing procedure. I have been a certified plastic surgeon for over 20 years and have focused for the past 20 years on cosmetic plastic surgery and particularly soft tissue volumization. For aesthetic concerns such as you describe, I generally use Juvéderm® Voluma™, as it can last up to two years, and a very small, blunt microcannula to insert these products for deficient areas of soft tissue volume under the eyes, through the cheek, along the cheekbone and other facial buttresses to enhance the beauty and femininity of the skeletal contours. I trust this advice has been of some assistance and best of luck. Sincerely, R. Stephen Mulholland, M.D. Certified Plastic Surgeon, Yorkville, Toronto
