Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The altered facial profile can be corrected by the orthodontic treatment. Consult a good orthodontist and get it corrected. No need to go for cheek implants.Before going for any treatment get a radiograph done to rule out any defect in the jaw bone. Later we can decide whether only orthodontic treatment is enough or it needs surgery along with braces.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
