So I'm sure the more experienced bearded guys here can give you more thorough guidance than I can, but from what I've seen on this board (and from my own growth), the cheeks are typically the last thing to fill in and it's the toughest part -- by far -- for pretty much everyone. Might be worth checking out fork's thread in the General Discussion area  (it's the one with over 122K views). Great success story there with lots of pix so you can see what he went through and the end result, which is totally mind-blowing. His thread is longer than Gone With The Wind, but it's definitely worth a read. And there are many other cheek-related successes there also.

Not surprised that you're getting positive feedback, btw. It's clear even from your early pix that it's going to be a really good look for you if you stick with it. Good luck man...keep it up and you'll get there!
