Sagging Cheeks

Richard W. Fleming, MD answers: Fillers for restoring cheek volume?

I used to have perfect cheeks when I was 18-21. Now at 24, my cheek bones aren't looking as high or defined as they used to. My face appears to have flattened in the middle of the cheeks and my dark eye circles are looking worse. The lack of volume on the upper cheeks is also making my lower face look chubbier. The width of my cheeks are still okay though and my lower cheeks are quite full. Can fillers fix this and give me the perfect cheeks I used to have? Which filler would be best?

Fillers such as fat, Radiesse, or one of the hyaluronic acids could be used to add volume. You should also consider a cheek lift. Place a finger at the corner of your eye and lift your cheek to see the effect of this procedure. Get a good consultation to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
