Wide Side Cheeks and Uneven Contour: Filler, Botox or Lifting?
Quick answer: Wide or uneven side cheeks can come from prominent bone with hollows beneath, large jaw muscles, soft fullness or sagging. Filler smooths dips under the cheekbone, jaw Botox slims muscle, Onda or fat dissolving reduces fullness, and lifting tightens loose tissue. At YAAN Clinic, Korean filler is ₩290,000 per 1 cc.
The side of the face shapes how wide the face looks from the front. Identifying the cause decides the treatment.
Common causes of a wide side profile
- High, prominent cheekbones with hollows below
- Large masseter muscles
- Soft fat along the lower cheek
- Sagging tissue that collects along the jaw
Matching the treatment
- Hollows below the cheekbone: filler for a smooth line
- Muscle bulk: jaw Botox
- Soft fullness: Onda or fat dissolving injections
- Sagging: Ultherapy Prime, Thermage or threads
Combination plans
Many faces have more than one cause. A typical plan might combine jaw Botox with a small amount of filler and a lifting session. See balancing a long mid-face for related proportions.
Downtime
- Filler: mild swelling for a few days
- Botox: no visible downtime
- Onda: warmth and slight tenderness
- Lifting: mild swelling or tenderness
Before your consultation
- Take clear photos in natural light from the front and side
- Note what bothers you most and when it is most visible
- List previous treatments, with dates and products if known
- Mention medicines, allergies and any upcoming events or flights
A short consultation lets your physician confirm whether filler, Botox or lifting is the right first step for you, or whether a combination plan would give a better result.
