Which procedure would help my horizontal cheek lines appear less prominent? 32 y/o (photo)

Thank you for sharing your photo and concern. Horizontal cheek lines, especially when they’ve been present since childhood, are often related to natural skin folding and facial movement. Over time, as the skin loses elasticity and collagen with age, these lines can appear more prominent.

Cheek fillers can sometimes help soften their appearance by adding volume beneath the skin and providing a smoother contour. However, results can vary depending on how deep or etched the lines are. For finer, more surface-level lines, other treatments such as laser resurfacing, microneedling with radiofrequency, or even skin-boosting injectables (like hyaluronic acid placed more superficially) may provide a more natural improvement.

A combination approach is often most effective: fillers to restore support and subtle lifting, paired with skin treatments that improve texture and collagen production. Surgery is not usually necessary for these types of lines.

In short, yes, cheek fillers can help, but pairing them with skin-quality treatments usually gives the best and longest-lasting results.

Hello! I would suggest fillers such as Juvederm for your cheek lines. Fillers would give you instant results and I believe would be the most effective in filling in the missing volume in those areas. They will also last for about 6 months. There are other options such as botox and microneedling, but I believe fillers would be the most effective.
