Treating lost cheek volume
There are many options for treating lost cheek volume, but probably the safest and that which has the highest satisfaction rate would be the use of injectable fillers such as restylane, perlane, juvederm or radiesse. These can all work quite well to give 1+ years of improvement, and have minimal if any downtime and minimal discomfort.

Options for augmentation of cheek volume
There are a lot of options for augmentation of cheek volume. Ultimately the goal is to restore youthfulness and achieve an aesthetically pleasing cheek contour. Essentially as we age the “midface” will sag and the eyes will become more elongated and worn in and appearance of aging to the cheeks and eyes ensues. The tear trough deformity also becomes more apparent.
Simple treatments include standard Restylane or Juvéderm, Perlane and Radiesse injections into the...

Treatment for Facial Volume Loss in Cheeks
Several cosmetic options are available to improve volume loss in the cheeks or midface. Volume loss is a natural progression seen with facial aging. Midface volume loss may also be seen earlier with genetic predisposition, medical conditions, severe weight changes, or medications too.
Treatment obviously is to add volume, typically. Injectable fillers with hyaluronic acid, Restylane, or Juvederm may be appropriate. Alternatively, longer acting facial fillers such as Radiesse or...

Volume Loss in Cheeks
Without seeing your individual needs, I recommend you consider all alternatives. Fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and the patient's own fat all have advantages and disadvantages. Cheek implants and various techniques of brow lifting, with or without fillers, may be provide the best results. Consult with a physician who uses all these approaches..

MACS lift or fat transplantation will restore volume to cheeks
For many patients, gravitational effects result in sagging of the cheek fat toward the jawline, creating a loss of volume in the cheek area. If this is the case, then a MACS lift, which is a short-incision facelift, with internal repositioning of the facial tissues can restore volume in a very rejuvenating manner.
Another cause of loss of volume is facial atrophy, which can occur with aging or weight-loss. In this situation, it is usually better to add more volume...

Treating volume loss in cheeks
Currently, I believe that the best treatment for the cheek area is injection with a filling material such as hyaluronic acid/Juvederm. I like Juvederm for this region since it is long-lasting (1-2 years) but does eventually go away in the event that you do not like the outcome. At the least, it is a good first step. See a board certified plastic surgeon who can go more in-depth with you reagrding your options based on your desires and facial structure.

Volume loss in the cheeks
There are 2 excellent options for volume replacement in the cheeks, Sculptra and fat transplantation. Sculptra, poly-L-Lactic acid, is an injectable which restores volume by causing your body to produce collagen. It typically lasts about 2 years. Fat transplantations requires harvesting fat from another site and injections can have lasting effects, however some patients do not experience lasting results. It is best to be evaluated by a board certified...

Fillers or fat are best to restore cheek volume
Loss of volume is a common problem, often seen with aging. There are a variety of treatments to counter this volume loss, most of which involve injecting something into the hollow areas. The most common treatment is the placement of fillers into the cheeks. Some of the most commonly used fillers are Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and Radiesse. These are appealing because they are easy to place but are not permanent, lasting 6 to 12 months, depending on the filler...

Cheek implants to restore volume
The best volumetric augmentation of the cheeks is with a small cheek implant. This will give a very consistent surgical result. You must have a flat cheek profile or submalar area for implantation to be appropriate. I do not recommend fat injections because of the inconsistency of the results.
