I'm a 21 year old male, got sunken cheeks. Will gaining weight help? I am not sure how long I have had them, this I just realized recently. My BMI is 19.2, though I seem skinny if anything.

It would be helpful here to see some photos. Very difficult to give you guidance if we cant seeing what we are addressing. It does sound like you need some volume perhaps. We also need to know how old are you.
Photos would help because to re-shape and fill out the cheeks themselves, IMHO, cheek implants or fillers like Radiesse and Perlane work best. If the mid and lower face have fatty tissue loss, Perlane or Sculptra would be my choice.
There is nothing that can be done about muscle and nerve damage that is present in your cheek implant. It is probably a good idea to have the cheek implants removed. Look for a surgeon who has done many, many cheek implants.
