How to Fix Flat Cheekbones Shreveport

What are Flat Cheekbones?

A person may appear to have flat cheekbones, or a flat face, in general, when their cheeks appear to need more volume. For individuals with flat cheekbones, the cheek area appears less contoured, which can affect the overall facial appearance and balance. This is often due to a combination of factors, including genetics, facial structure, and lost volume over time due to aging or decreased collagen production.

Patients with flat cheekbones often do facial exercises and change their facial expression for certain reactions to minimize the appearance of a flat face or flat cheeks. While facial exercises can gradually and minimally increase the facial muscles over a long period of time, there are a variety of non-surgical and cosmetic surgery options to address flat cheekbones, such as fat injections, injectable fillers, cheek implants, and cheek augmentation options to create more defined cheekbones.

What Causes Flat Cheekbones and Sunken Cheeks?

Flat cheekbones can result from various factors that influence the structure and appearance of your face. For many patients, a flat face can be attributed to genetics and bone structure, while others may experience flat cheeks due to overall health and skin conditions, lack of collagen production or elastin production, or lifestyle habits.

If you’re looking to achieve high cheekbones or more defined cheekbones, it’s important to first understand the underlying cause of your flat face or flat cheekbones to find the most effective cosmetic procedures for you, specifically.

Genetics and Bone Structure

For many people, flat cheekbones are simply part of their natural bone structure. Genetics plays a major role in determining the shape and prominence of your facial features, including your cheeks. If you have a family history of flat cheekbones or a flat face, your cheek structure is likely inherited. While genetics may limit the natural prominence of your cheekbones, cheek augmentation can help add volume to a flat face and help you get the high cheekbones you’ve always wanted.

Health Issues

For some patients, their overall health can drastically alter their overall appearance. Conditions that cause rapid weight loss, such as malnutrition or chronic illness, can reduce the amount of natural fat in the cheek area, causing premature wrinkles and the lower eyelid area to sink, leading to a more hollow or flat face appearance. Additionally, diseases that affect collagen production, elastin production, or facial muscles can contribute to the loss of blood flow and volume over time.

For these patients, Restylane contour or other cheek filler alternatives or surgical options can help achieve full cheeks and high cheekbones.

Lifestyle Habits

Unhealthy lifestyle habits can also contribute to a flat face appearance or sagging skin. Factors such as a poor diet, excessive sun exposure, smoking, and chronic dehydration can negatively affect elastin production and lead to decreased collagen and cheek volume.

Over time, these habits can cause the cheeks to lose their youthful plumpness and contribute to a more sunken or flat face. Making positive lifestyle changes and cosmetic procedures, such as Restylane contour or HA fillers, can help restore volume and create a more youthful appearance.

Cheek Filler for Flat Face

For individuals with a flat face or lack of cheek definition, cheek fillers provide an excellent way to add structure and enhance the overall facial appearance. By strategically placing filler injections, we can increase cheek volume and improve the balance of your facial features.

Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, is one of the most popular injectable fillers. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Juvederm offer immediate results, transforming flat cheekbones into more prominent cheeks while maintaining a natural-looking aesthetic. These non-surgical options are perfect for those looking to enhance their facial contours without undergoing cosmetic surgery to achieve amazing results.

Sagging Cheeks Filler

As we age, the lack of collagen and elastin production can lead to sagging cheeks, giving the appearance of a flat face or flat cheekbones, especially around the lower eyelid area. Sagging cheek filler treatments are non-surgical options used to combat the signs of aging by restoring cheek volume and lifting the mid-face area. With filler injections in Shreveport, you can add volume to areas affected by sagging skin, bringing more facial rejuvenation with each facial expression and providing desired results immediately.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Flat Cheeks

Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits for enhancing flat cheeks or restoring lost volume. These filler injections are non-surgical options that deliver amazing results immediately. With options like Juvederm in Shreveport and other hyaluronic acid injections, patients can achieve long-lasting results, typically up to two years.

Plastic Surgery for Flat Cheeks in Shreveport and Monroe

For those seeking a long-lasting solution to flat cheekbones, The Plastic Surgery Surgery offers plastic surgery patients a variety of surgical options to enhance cheek volume and definition. Cheek plastic surgery in Shreveport and Monroe includes cosmetic surgery procedures like cheek implants or facial fat grafting, which can provide more permanent results than non-surgical treatments.

Cheek Implants

Cheek implants are popular for individuals looking to add permanent structure and fullness to their cheek area with minimal recovery time. These implants are designed to create prominent cheeks and more defined facial contours, enhancing your overall facial appearance. Cheek implants in Shreveport involve placing customized implants over each cheekbone through a small incision, resulting in an enhanced, more youthful appearance.

Types of Cheek Implants

There are several different types of cheek implants available. Malar implants are placed directly on the cheekbones to create a more defined structure, while submalar implants add volume to the mid-face, helping to correct sunken cheeks. Some patients may also choose combined implants to achieve both effects.

Cheek Implants Cost

The cost of cheek implants can vary depending on the surgical procedure, the type of implants used, and other factors such as anesthesia and facility fees. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized estimate based on your specific needs and goals.

Although cheek implants are an investment, the long-lasting results make it a worthwhile option for plastic surgery patients looking to enhance their facial features permanently.

Facial Fat Grafting to Cheeks

Facial fat grafting or fat injections are other effective option for restoring cheek volume using your body’s fat cells. This procedure involves transferring fat from one area of your body, such as the abdomen or thighs, using a small incision, and injecting it to the cheeks, next to the nasolabial folds to create more fullness and a youthful appearance.

Fat injections and grafting use fat from your own body, reducing the risk of rejection while providing soft, natural results. This procedure is ideal for enhancing flat cheeks with a minimally invasive approach.

Cheek Lift or Mid Facelift

A cheek lift, also known as a mid-facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging cheeks. This surgery helps address the effects of aging, such as sagging skin and loss of cheek volume, by tightening the tissues and restoring a more youthful contour to the mid-face.

During a cheek lift, the cheek area is elevated to enhance the look of defined cheekbones and improve the appearance of the nasolabial folds. This procedure is a great option for patients seeking a long-term solution to both flat cheeks and signs of aging.
