Upper Cheek Wrinkles

Wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes are commonly called crow’s feet.  Crow’s feet wrinkles in some individuals can elongate over the cheek bone and onto the cheek hollow.  These lines are generally superficial and relatively shallow.  To treat these lines, dermal fillers such as JUVEDERM® Ultra and Restylane® are typically combined with BOTOX® to fill and relax the wrinkles. 

BOTOX® is injected in the depressor muscles somewhat above and outside of the eyes and out along the zygomatic arch (cheek bone area).  Dermal fillers are placed beneath the wrinkles, usually in the mid dermis of the skin. 

In this area of the face, the wrinkle reduction will typically endure longer than some other facial areas because there is less movement.  Some physicians report that they have treated patients for upper cheek wrinkles with the liquid face lift products mentioned above, and after a few treatments, have seen these wrinkles disappear for significant amounts of time.
