"Fat Pads" for Lower Cheek Filler?

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.

Fat Transfer a good option for lower cheeks
Facial fat grafting is one good option for volume enhancement of the cheeks and lower face.

Often, two treatments spaced about 6 to 9 months apart may be required for a good correction.
