Fat Augmentation to Face

The use of lipo-augmentation is a good choice to add volume to the face. I've done this for twenty years with reliable and reproducibe results. Without pictures, I don't know if there are alternative choices.

I recommend lower cheek micro fat grafting

Jerrelyn, It would be helpful to have photographs of your face to give you specific advice. That being said, based on your description, I would recommend micro fat grafting of the lower cheeks. Micro-fat grafting is best done in multiple layers and multiple passes from different directions. I recommend you seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with micro fat grafting to get the best results.

Fat Transfer a good option for lower cheeks

Facial fat grafting is one good option for volume enhancement of the cheeks and lower face. Because the transferred fat is exposed to the same changes as the native fat in these regions, I would not call it "permanent" but "long-lasting". Often, two treatments spaced about 6 to 9 months apart may be required for a good correction.
