As you can see, because the procedure targets the fat pads and excess cheek volume, it can create a more sculpted look to the face that makes the cheekbones appear more prominent.
How to Find the Right Doctor
If you're considering this procedure, look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with a "specialty or concentration in the midface, including a unique medical and aesthetic understanding of the structures, tissues, muscles, and bones of the face," Dr. Douglas says. "The board-certified cosmetic surgeon should have specialized training and significant experience in the procedure and be able to explain his or her approach as well as create a surgical plan individualized to the patient." You may also want to consider looking for a cosmetic surgeon affiliated with a major medical center.
