Depends on the filler

Armando Soto, 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.

I have had good success augmenting areas such as those on your face with certain fillers, but agree that others are not as good in this area. I would first find a plastic surgeon or dermatologist you are comfortable with and who has had success in this area, then review which filler might achieve your goals here. I would not think that surgery is your only option with the many options available now.

Helpful?
