Restylane for cheek dents

Hi Katie,

I have had a number of patients with a similar problem. Usually it gets much improved with a hyaluronic acid filler, such as Restylane and Perlane. It has to be put at different depth levels, and works really well. If it is too superficial, it looks a little off, and if it is too deep, it might not take care of the problem. Cheek pads are actually pretty easy to augment, and it is one of the most rewarding procedures for my patients. It makes them look great, and frequently helps with similar cheek lines or dents. The patients usually comment on this particular issue when we see them for a follow up, even if they did not worry about it much before the injection.

You don't need a lower blepharoplasty.  You have some specific volume deficits that are a family trait showing up early in you.  Well done Restylane by an experienced plastic surgeon will help you avoid surgery for years and will give you a rejuvenated look that eyelid surgery in your case isn't as capable of doing.

Fillers, the YoungLift, Fat Injections, Cheek Implants are options for those areas.  Having experience in augmenting areas such as this is important. Fillers are temporary (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, cosmoderm) but can be a way to fill in those dents and a good way to assess whether volume can help. Fat injections are a long term possibility to augment that area. If the fat survives after 6 months it is likely to last for years. 

I refined an amazing volumizing procedure called “the YoungLift”. This is an innovative technique that volumizes your face to bring out the younger and natural you without looking like you had something done. This is not a facelift and requires no incisions. Only pinpoint puncture sites are used and these heal imperceptibly.

The YoungLift can be done without general anesthesia and without drains, and large bandages. You also have sometimes a lot less downtime and discomfort compared with traditional facelift procedures. I employ the very best techniques from around the world into one volumizing procedure and I use my internationally acclaimed understanding of facial beauty to create the youthful volume you once had. In your case, the Younglift could help fill in the dents that you are concerned about.

Cheek implants are another way of augmenting the cheek but in your case would not be a good option. Your dent is mostly a superficial element and would require something placed in a superficial manner.
