The cheekbone is one of a pair of facial bones. It forms part of the outer wall of the eye socket and, together with surrounding fat and soft tissue, shapes the cheek contour. The visible shape therefore depends on more than the bone alone.
Adding volume can change certain contours. Depending on the findings, options may include hyaluronic acid fillers or fat transfer. These differ in how they are performed, how long their effects last and their risks. Fillers change the overlying tissue, not the shape of the bone itself.
A fixed duration or a particular rejuvenating effect cannot be guaranteed. Swelling can affect the early result. Possible injection risks include vascular complications, infection and uneven contours.
