Is it possible to inject HA filler directly into the facial fat pads in order to re-inflate them?

Question

I'm still fairly young (almost 30), so I doubt the fat pads in my face have shriveled/moved too much, but, if possible, I'd rather re-inflate them a bit with HA injections - nothing too drastic, more of a preventative measure, if you will.

Yes, appropriately placed fillers can look natural and prevent aging and decent of fat pads etc.  I would suggest finding someone experienced, specifically in treating younger patients and doing "age prevention" treatments that look natural.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Brunette. Without seeing at least a picture it is very difficult to determine what your needs are and which treatment would be best for you. I would recommend an in-person consultation with an experienced physician injector in your area who can make a personalized assessment based on your needs. Best of luck.

Yes, HA's can be used to fill the cheek fat pads.  There are several different kinds that can be used. Best to seek an evaluation in person.

Absolutely. HA fillers in the facial fat pads are the key re-flating the face in a natural way. Any HA filler is fine, although the thicker HAs are ideal (Voluma, Perlane).

My filler of choice for re inflation of facial (malar) pads  is fat injections combined with PRP (platelet rich plasma)
