Cheek Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionSubmalar Implants Vs Fillers for Improving Face Shape?
I am 45, female, thin and have always had a prominent chin, high lateral cheekbones and an average pointed nose. This gives me a crescent moon shape to my face viewed from the side. I'm not yet concerned with aging so much as the actual shape of my face.
I had a consult with a plastic surgeon who recommended filler as he isn't comfortable with Cheek implants. I currently have 6 syringes of Perlane in the sub-malar area. I really love the balance it has given my face, but I can't continue to inject SIX syringes every year! Advice?
Use fat grafting for cheek augmentation and volume correction. Avoid implants and strange off the shelf products!

I had submalar implants 8 weeks ago- at first I hated results because they looked huge even though I had small implants. Now they finally are looking great. Just make sure you have them done by someone with lots of experience.
