What is the best treatment for hollow eyes and sunken cheeks?

Question

I want to correct my hollow eyes and plump up my cheeks. I am debating between a biositumlator and a facial fat transfer. I'm staying away from fillers because of the side effects. Any input on which treatment is better and why would be very helpful. Thank you!

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. When considering options to correct hollow eyes and plump up your cheeks, both biostimulators like Sculptra and facial fat transfer have their unique benefits. Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable that gradually adds volume and improves skin texture over time, making it an excellent choice for achieving a natural-looking lift without the immediate fullness that fillers provide. It works by encouraging your body’s own collagen production, leading to long-lasting results that can enhance the contours of your face. On the other hand, facial fat transfer involves harvesting fat from another part of your body and injecting it into the areas you want to enhance. While it can provide significant volume and has the advantage of using your own tissue, it may require more downtime and has its own set of risks, such as absorption of the fat over time. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a treatment that promotes gradual improvement and minimizes the risk of side effects associated with traditional fillers, Sculptra could be a great option for you. I hope this helps and best of luck!
