High Cheekbones

Description

High cheekbones, sometimes called "prominent cheekbones," "elevated cheek ridge," or "protruding cheekbones," refer to cheekbones that sit high on the face and create a noticeable contour just below the eyes.

If you're considering aesthetic options for high cheekbones, from cheekbone reduction surgery to non-surgical treatments, Korea offers world-class expertise and advanced techniques to help balance your facial features and achieve a softer, more natural look.
