I'm Asian. My face is square and flat. Will radiesse injections in my cheeks will make my face look more contoured?

Question

When I smile I have cheeks/skulls "coming out" but when I don't it's flat.

Thank you for your question. Without examining you in person and without seeing the photos, it is tough to say if Radiesse is your answer.  You should consult with a physician who is an expert in Asian face contouring, and I also believe that  you should explore the possibility of having Botox injection into masseter muscle which might be helpful in your situation. Best Wishes. Dr. Shanthala

Yes, radiesse could give you more contouring in the cheeks. These fillers (Voluma, Bellafill) and Sculptra can also be used to create visible cheekbones. Implants or fat would be alternatives. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a facial contouring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Radiesse is a great filler to "replicate" structure.  It is best used in areas where there is thick skin that needs lifting (lateral cheeks, jawline, temples, etc).   Make sure to seek out an expert injector who will take into account both the resting and active volume in your face.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. Yes, Radiesse can help contour the cheeks. You can also use these fillers, Voluma, Bellafill and Sculptra to help create more visible cheekbones. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

I prefer to use Radiesse in the temples and filler like Voluma or Sculptra to build volume in the cheeks. Without seeing you, it is very hard to say if one of these products would be right for you however these are volume builders and can help patients get that contoured cheek look. I would suggest an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine a customized treatment plan for you, based on your needs and goals.
