Would fillers help? I feel like my cheeks have lost volume and are sagging (Photo)

Question

Attached photos of current & 9 years ago. I’m wondering if fillers would help. I feel like I look tired & old (33/female). Yes, my hair is up & I’m not wearing makeup but I feel like maybe my cheeks have lost volume & are sagging? I also think I can see mid cheek lines? Not sure how & if I can fix this but worried it will get worse since this seems to have happened before I realized.

You are an excellent candidate for cheek augmentation. The volume loss we experience is due to bone loss and fat loss. Fat can be liposuctioned from your abdomen or other areas of the body and can be injected to more permanently augment the cheeks whereas filler provides temporary relief but allows you to see what a permanent result would be like. The augmentation will also with the mild lines you see around your mouth as well. I hope this helps!

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
