Cheek Dents? Solution

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: What is recommended to get rid of cheek dents?

I have dents in my cheeks.  I am in my late 30s and it seems pretty early to have blepharoplasty or a cheek lift.

However, I want to minimize or ideally get rid of them because they look awful and make me feel bad.

A facial plastic surgeon friend told me that he didn't recommend fillers since the cheek pads are hard to augment.

First, I highly commend you on the photographs. It is difficult to document these in traditional photographic lighting.

I concur with the other comments here.

Use of fillers, and I would recommend hyaluronic products (perlane, restylane, juvederm, etc) as my first choice. However, I have used Radiesse for this purpose with excellent results as well.

The one advantage to the hyaluronic products is that if you do not like the results, they can be "reversed" with the off-label use of hyalurinidase.

At a later date, you could seek long term solutions should you desire although you have expressed a wish to avoid this at this time.

This includes cheek lifts, eye lifts, cheek implants and/or fat injections for example.

I hope this helps!
