Cheek Augmentation: Q&A

How to Get Fuller Cheeks? (photo)
I just had a vertical facelift including a neck lift a couple of months ago. I am very satisfied with the result, but I was wondering if there is a way of further improve the results, maybe by adding some volume to my cheeks? They are still a bit flat, at least I think. Will fat transfer be beneficial, or just filler, something else, or should I leave it the way it is? I am posting a pic so you can tell which procedure will be best for me.

Happy Cheeks!
I think fuller cheeks would be a great idea! I love your face and I thinnk whoever did your facelift did a great job. Your self-actualization of fuller cheeks is correct, you need volume in the mid face, this will make you appear to have better bone structure and a happier look!
Personally, I am a fan of the following for this area:
Fillers like Juvederm and Radiasse
Fat transfer if you have some extra to spare
Cheek implants, if you have some...

How to Get Fuller Cheeks?
Aestheically speaking, I concur with your decision to augment your cheeks. From the photo, your cheeks are both flat with the left less full than the right.

Cheek Implants would give a permanent augmentation. I do not use or recommend permanent fillers or fat transfer...

Fuller Cheeks after facelift is complementary
I think that a modest increased volume of your cheeks and lower lid cheek junction would be of benefit to restoring a more youthful appearance. Fat Grafting (fat transfer) by lipoinjection can improve your acquired indentations but is not totally predictable. You will have to weigh Fillers vs Fat Grafting.
Pro: Fat Transfer by lipoinjection is more of a permanent solution...

Fuller cheeks following face lift
It appears that you have had a lovely result from your face lift. But, I believe you are correct that a moderate cheek enhancement may further improve your result. As my colleagues have stated, this can be accomplished with injectable fillers, free fat transfer, or surgical implants. of these options injectable fillers would be the least expensive/invasive and if you are not pleased with the result, the fillers do resorb over time. Of the various fillers, I have found...

A cheek lift can help lift, enhance, and restore the volume to your cheeks to give you a more youthful, refreshed, and beautiful look.

Cheek Volumizers
Dear Lolita,
Yes, the cheeks can have volume added to them with fat or fillers.
I prefer fat transfer because it is natural looking and lasts much longer than fillers
I would recommend waiting until all of the swelling goes down from your previous surgery
This way, the doctor can accurately place the necessary amount of volume so you look great.
Best Regards
