What can be done to correct my flat face? Especially the side view (Photos)

Question

Front view of my face isn't too bad but I absolutely hate how it looks from the side. I know for sure my midline is flat. I think I have some cheek projection so would fillers be better over implants? I know I need to get a ethnic rhinoplasty done to help with my projection/forward growth but what other procedures would be suggested? Genioplasty? DJS to move jaws forward? I need help to correct my flat facial features, thanks!

Michelle Zweifler, MD · Answer

To enhance cheek projection, I would start with fillers first.  Results last 6-12 months with most fillers and one gets an idea what contour they are looking for.  Options then include continuing filler, fat grafting or cheek implants.  Rhinoplasty and jaw surgery are more permanent options to help with facial proportions.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Start with fillers placed in the midface to add temporary volume to your cheeks to see if you like the results. For a permanent change, then consider cheek implants. In our practice, we use Implantech brand of solid silicone cheek implants that are placed through intraoral approach under a brief general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.
