Cheekbones play a crucial role in defining your facial structure. Whether you have high or low cheekbones is primarily determined by your genetics and ethnicity. Defined cheekbones create a visual symmetry in your face, enhancing the overall perception of youth and vitality.
You can enhance your cheekbones with temporary non-invasive treatments and makeup or more permanent surgical methods like cheek implants and fat transfer.
Your cheekbones, also called the zygomatic bones, are located on either side of your face, extending from beneath the eyes to the middle of the ear. These bones provide structural integrity to your face and play a vital role in its aesthetics.
The zygomatic bones are also integral to the expressions and movement of your face. Several facial muscles responsible for chewing, smiling and other facial expressions are attached to these bones. The zygomatic arch formed by cheekbones and the skull's temporal bone facilitates the opening and closing of your mouth.
The strategic location of these bones defines your face shape, protects the eyes and contributes to the overall functionality of your facial skeleton.
You can distinguish between high or low cheekbones by their facial position. If these bones are at the same level or higher than the bridge of your nose, you have high cheekbones. On the contrary, if they sit at the level of your nostrils, you have low cheekbones.
When you have high-set cheekbones, your face appears more defined and angular. In many cultures, it is perceived as a hallmark of attractiveness.
With low cheekbones, your facial contour appears softer and less angular as the shadowing effect is less pronounced, and the face appears flatter.
While your genetics and ethnicity are the most crucial determinants of your cheekbone types, other factors like age also have a role.
The perceived position of your cheekbone high changes as you age, even though the bones themselves don’t move. Several factors associated with ageing can influence the apparent position of high cheekbones vs. low cheekbones, including:
All these changes alter the perceived position of bones on faces as you age, making them look lower and less prominent than before.
Several surgical treatments can help achieve high cheekbone for sunken cheeks, like cheek implants, fat transfer, buccal fat removal and a facelift.
These methods offer a permanent solution, bringing balance, symmetry and a youthful appearance to your face.
The effectiveness of each treatment in achieving a defined cheekbone varies from person to person, depending on needs, preferences and aesthetic goals. Consulting with one of our plastic surgeons will help you make the right choice.
Non-invasive treatments like cheek fillers can add volume, contour and definition to your cheekbones without surgery. However, the results they produce are temporary, lasting between 6 and 18 months, after which you will need to redo the procedure.
Most fillers like Juvederm for cheekbones contain a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. The fillers are precisely injected around the cheekbone high to instantly add volume, lifting the cheeks and creating a more defined facial structure.
The most significant advantage of these non-invasive methods is they produce immediate results with minimal downtime. Beyond adding volume, fillers also help smoothen fine facial lines, giving your face a more youthful appearance.
Apart from non-invasive and surgical procedures, makeup is a powerful tool to enhance the cheekbone contour. This temporary technique allows you to define and accentuate these bones in face.
Here are some of the most effective makeup techniques:
These makeup techniques offer a versatile, reversible way to change cheekbone height and shape perception.
Surgical methods are the best option for achieving higher cheekbones due to their permanent and customisable results. Unlike non-surgical methods that provide subtle improvement, surgical methods like implants and fat transfer give a more definitive solution for low-set cheekbones.
Procedures, like cheek implants, are particularly effective if you want a more dramatic and permanent change in your cheekbone high. Furthermore, surgical methods can be custom-designed to fit an individual’s facial structure, giving you better control over your appearance after the procedure.
Despite their higher cost, surgical methods offer a permanent resolution to enhance bones in face that produces reliable results. You also only need to get the procedure done once.
You can improve the appearance of your low cheekbones by surgical and non-surgical methods.
Surgical methods like cheek implants, fat transfer, buccal fat removal and facelifts provide permanent results, giving you prominent cheekbones and a more youthful look. If you desire a dramatic result, then these methods can be a great choice.
On the other hand, non-invasive methods, like dermal fillers, are ideally suited for people looking for subtle high cheekbones and temporary results. As they involve no downtime, they are great for people who want to take a more conservative approach.
The best treatment for you depends on several specific factors, including your aesthetic goal and budget. We offer several cosmetic surgical procedures that will help you create that perfect facial contour by enhancing your cheekbone high.
Please speak with one of our specialist surgeons today to create a customised plan.
Which face shape is considered the most attractive?
While the perception of the most attractive face shape varies greatly across individuals and cultures, an oval face shape is considered universally attractive. An oval face shape has balanced proportions that enhance facial symmetry, contributing to its widespread aesthetic appeal.
Which ethnicities are associated with high cheekbones?
Some ethnic groups often associated with high cheekbones include people of Native American, East Asian, and African descent. These features are celebrated as a sign of beauty in these populations.
Do cheekbones get more pronounced with age?
Contrary to becoming more pronounced, cheekbones appear less defined as you age. The change in the perception of cheekbones is predominantly due to loss of skin elasticity, facial volume and bone density. All these factors lead to a decrease in the sharpness of the cheekbone's appearance.
