How to achieve perfect and natural looking cheekbones
Cheekbones are considered one of the most prominent facial features, affecting the overall appearance and symmetry of the face. Full, defined cheekbones are often associated with a youthful and healthy appearance, while their loss or lack of volume can make the face look tired or haggard. Cheekbone augmentation is an aesthetic procedure that is becoming increasingly popular among people who desire to improve facial contours, whether due to aging, genetic predisposition, or simply to achieve a harmonious appearance.
What is Cheekbone Contouring
Cheekbone contouring is an aesthetic procedure that focuses on enhancing or restoring the contours of the cheekbones, thereby improving the overall appearance of the face. This procedure can involve a variety of techniques, from non-invasive techniques such as the application of dermal fillers to surgical procedures that permanently alter the shape and volume of the bones. The goal of cheekbone contouring is to achieve fuller, more prominent cheekbones, resulting in a more balanced, symmetrical, and youthful appearance.
Cheekbones are one of the most prominent facial features that have a major impact on the overall aesthetics of the face. Prominent cheekbones are often considered a sign of beauty, health, and vitality, which is why many people strive to enhance them. This process can include not only improving facial contours, but also restoring volume that is naturally lost with age. As we age, collagen and elastin decrease, leading to sagging skin and loss of volume in the cheekbone area, which can cause the face to look tired and lose its youthful appearance.
Reasons for Cheekbone Reshaping
There are several reasons why people consider cheekbone reshaping. This procedure can serve as a means of achieving aesthetic improvement, whether it is to improve the natural symmetry of the face or to restore volume that has been lost due to aging. The main reasons for cheekbone reshaping include:
- Improving facial symmetry - If someone has asymmetrical cheekbones, which may be genetic or caused by aging, reshaping can help improve the overall balance and harmony of the face. For example, one side of the face may have a more prominent cheekbone than the other, causing the face to appear unbalanced. Cheekbone reshaping can even out this difference and improve the appearance of the face.
- Restoring volume - As we age, there is a natural loss of volume in the cheekbone area, which can make the face look haggard or older. Cheekbone reshaping helps restore this volume, resulting in a more youthful appearance. This can be achieved by using fillers to add volume and firmness to the area.
- Facial rejuvenation - Cheekbone shaping is often part of a broader facial rejuvenation process that includes not only the cheekbones but also other areas such as the chin, forehead or under-eye area. This overall approach to rejuvenation helps to achieve a natural, youthful appearance that is not overly exaggerated, but also significantly improves the aesthetics of the face.
- Appearance enhancement for specific purposes - Some people choose to have cheekbone shaping to achieve a specific look that is ideal for them. For example, some clients may want to achieve a look that is popular among celebrities, such as Angelina Jolie's prominent cheekbones, which are considered a sign of beauty and attractiveness. Cheekbone shaping may also be sought by those who want to get rid of rounder faces and gain sharper features.
Popular reasons for cheekbone modeling
In the last few years, cheekbone modeling has become one of the most requested aesthetic procedures. This procedure is particularly sought after for its ability to dramatically improve facial features, both in younger people looking to achieve more pronounced contours and older people seeking to rejuvenate and firm their skin. People who undergo this procedure often come with specific ideas about their appearance, inspired by celebrities such as Angelina Jolie. The image of this actress has become a beauty ideal for many patients, with the desire to achieve similarly contoured cheekbones becoming one of the main reasons for visiting a plastic surgeon.
What's fascinating about this trend is the fact that in older photos of Angelina Jolie, her cheekbones are much less pronounced, showing that her current appearance is not just the result of natural aging or weight loss, but primarily the careful work of a plastic surgeon. This example shows how much influence professional intervention can have on facial appearance. Many people do not realize that changing the shape of the cheekbones can have a profound impact on the overall appearance of the face, which is why it is becoming increasingly popular.
Scientific studies and research suggest that high and prominent cheekbones are perceived as a sign of beauty for several reasons. This facial feature is associated with sexual maturity and health, which is attractive to most people. When cheekbones are prominent, it means that the face has undergone developmental changes that indicate that the person has reached adulthood. This visual feature is subconsciously considered attractive because it is associated with physical maturity and a balanced appearance. In addition, people with prominent cheekbones often appear more confident and powerful, which increases their credibility and attractiveness. In social interactions, prominent cheekbones can promote a positive perception of an individual as a person who is strong, decisive, and trustworthy. This is why cheekbone modeling is becoming increasingly popular not only with women, but also with men who want to enhance their attractiveness and leave a stronger impression.
Another important reason why women in their 40s have this area highlighted is the rejuvenating effect that cheekbone modelling brings. As we age, there is a gradual loss of volume in the cheek area, which can cause the face to look tired, saggy or lose its youthful fullness. Highlighting the cheekbones can slow this process and bring a natural lift to the mid-face. By highlighting the shape of the cheekbones, lost volume is restored, which firms the skin and smooths wrinkles. The result is a more youthful appearance that looks fresh and healthy.
Cheekbone contouring is not just a cosmetic procedure, but can have psychological benefits as well. Many patients who undergo this procedure report that they feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance. Improving the appearance of the cheekbones can have a positive effect on the overall impression one gives off, not only in personal but also in professional interactions. In some cases, cheekbone modeling can also help those who feel insecure about their natural facial features.
Non-invasive methods
Non-invasive methods of cheekbone reshaping have become a popular solution for those looking for an effective way to improve the appearance of their face without the need for surgery. These methods are ideal for patients who prefer quick and safe procedures with minimal risk and a short recovery time. At our clinic, we focus on these non-invasive approaches that provide great results with minimal discomfort.
Non-invasive cheekbone reshaping methods involve the application of various fillers and materials that can instantly firm and enhance the cheekbones, resulting in a more balanced and youthful facial appearance. These procedures are popular for their speed, effectiveness, and minimal recovery time, making them ideal for patients who want results without long waits or complicated surgical procedures.
Dermal fillers (fillers)
One of the most common and effective methods we offer in our clinic is dermal fillers, especially hyaluronic acid. This substance is naturally present in the human body and plays a key role in keeping the skin hydrated and firming its structure. Applying hyaluronic acid to the cheekbone area has an immediate effect that firms and plumps this area, creating a beautifully defined and balanced face.
The advantage of hyaluronic acid is its ability to dissolve naturally in the body, which means that the result is not permanent but temporary. This aspect is ideal for patients who want to try a new look without the long-term commitment. The effect of hyaluronic acid usually lasts between 6 and 18 months, depending on the specific material and individual skin reactions. At our clinic, we use only the highest quality hyaluronic acid.
The application is a quick and painless process that does not require any long recovery time. After the procedure, patients can return to their normal activities, with results immediately visible. This procedure is a safe and effective way to achieve natural cheekbone enhancement that looks harmonious and aesthetically pleasing.
Autologous fat grafting (lipofilling)
Another option for cheekbone contouring is autologous fat grafting, also known as lipofilling. This process involves taking fat tissue from other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or buttocks, and then injecting it into the cheekbone area. This procedure is particularly advantageous because it uses the patient's own fat, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection of the material.
Lipofilling is ideal for those looking for a natural look and long-lasting effect. The fat cells injected into the cheekbones are gradually absorbed into the skin, providing a more permanent result that can last for years. This procedure is a great option for those looking to achieve fuller cheekbones and a natural look without the use of synthetic materials.
Although lipofilling is not considered an invasive procedure, it is more complex than dermal filler application because it involves the process of removing fatty tissue from other parts of the body. Even so, this procedure offers minimal recovery time and natural results that many patients appreciate. It is therefore one of the options to achieve more prominent cheekbones, although in our clinic we focus primarily on dermal fillers, which are faster and have a shorter recovery time.
Advantages of non-invasive methods in our clinic
At our clinic, we focus on non-invasive methods of cheekbone modelling because they are not only effective but also safe. The main advantages of these methods include:
- Speed and minimal recovery time: non-invasive procedures are quick and do not require a long recovery period. Patients can return to normal activities almost immediately.
- Low risk of complications: the application of hyaluronic acid or fat grafting is carried out by experts with years of experience, minimising the risk of side effects.
- Natural appearance: both fillers and lipofilling provide a natural and harmonious result that looks aesthetically pleasing and requires no dramatic changes.
- Flexibility and adjustability: Non-invasive methods allow flexibility in appearance adjustments, meaning patients can gradually achieve the desired look without having to undergo complex surgery.

Surgery methods
Surgical cheekbone reshaping is an invasive procedure that is usually recommended for patients who are looking for permanent results and are willing to undergo a longer recovery period. Surgical methods involve either implants or reshaping the bones themselves.
Cheek bone implants
Surgical implants are solid or silicone inserts that are placed in the cheekbone area to add volume and shape. This procedure may be suitable for people who have naturally flat or asymmetrical cheekbones. Implants can permanently improve the appearance and provide dramatic results. Although this is a permanent procedure, the risk of complications such as infection or implant displacement is present, requiring careful selection of a specialist and consistent post-operative care.
Osteoplasty
Osteoplasty is a surgical procedure that directly reshapes the cheekbones. This procedure involves the removal or reshaping of bone tissue and is suitable for people who want to significantly change the shape of their face. Osteoplasty is invasive and requires a long recovery period, but the results are permanent and natural.
Other methods and cautions
Another method, which is mainly known abroad, is the removal of fat pads under the cheekbones. This procedure, called Bisha fat pad removal, is still popular in some countries, but its long-term effects are questionable. This procedure involves removing fat pads from the cheek area, which can lead to more prominent and slimmer cheeks. However, some studies and experts have warned that women who undergo this procedure at a younger age may face the undesirable effect of sunken cheeks and overly defined facial features at an older age (after 40 or 50). This change can make the face look gaunt and older, which is why this procedure is considered controversial.
Before deciding on any method of cheekbone modelling, it is important to consult with a specialist who can help you choose the most suitable solution based on your individual needs and requirements. Each method has its benefits and risks, and the right choice depends on your skin type, facial features and personal preferences.
The effect of cheekbone modeling on men
Cheekbone modeling is an aesthetic procedure that has long been considered the prerogative of women, but in recent years it has become increasingly popular among men as well. Indeed, prominent cheekbones are considered a sign not only of beauty, but also of strength, health and maturity. Since masculine beauty is often associated with sharper, more defined facial features, cheekbone modelling is proving to be an effective way to improve overall appearance and enhance male attractiveness.
For men who undergo cheekbone modeling, the procedure can have both aesthetic and psychological benefits. More prominent cheekbones can boost self-confidence and improve feelings of self-worth. In many cases, men feel more attractive, which has a positive impact on their social interactions. Scientific studies suggest that people with sharper, more prominent facial features are perceived as more confident and stronger, which can have a direct impact on their professional success and personal relationships.
A male face, as opposed to a female face, is often perceived as more attractive if it has stronger and more defined features. Cheekbone modelling can help to balance out facial proportions, especially for those with fuller cheeks or less pronounced cheekbones. This procedure can contribute to sharper facial contours, providing a more youthful and dynamic appearance. Prominent cheekbones are often associated with greater signs of male maturity and strength, which can positively affect the way a man is perceived in society.
The effect of cheekbone modeling on women
Cheekbone modeling is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures that is increasingly appearing in cosmetic surgery. For women, prominent cheekbones are considered a symbol of beauty, health and youth. This trend has become particularly popular in recent years because strongly defined cheekbones can improve the overall appearance of the face, enhancing its symmetry and adding dynamism.
For women who undergo cheekbone modeling, this procedure can provide not only an aesthetic change, but also a significant psychological benefit. Prominent cheekbones can boost self-confidence and feelings of self-attractiveness. Many women who opt for this procedure report that they feel more confident and attractive, which is reflected in their social interactions and relationships. Studies show that people with sharply defined facial features are perceived as more attractive, which can improve not only their personal lives but also their professional lives.
For women, the perception of beauty is often associated with subtle but distinct facial features. Cheekbone modeling can help balance facial proportions, especially for those with fuller cheeks or less prominent cheekbones. This procedure contributes to sharper facial contours, giving the face a more youthful, fresh and elegant appearance. Prominent cheekbones are seen as a sign of feminine beauty, which enhances the overall impression of the face and can greatly improve appearance and perceived symmetry.
