Can I get cheek augmentation with bone graft and have it look dramatically different? 21 female

Question

I have an underdeveloped cheekbone on one side of my face due to hemifacial microsomia. I would like to get the cheek to at least the other cheeks fullness with a bone graft . Would I also be able to make the other cheek a little more sharp with a bone graft, or is that result not really able to happen with bone or even fat? I want more hard volume there (l I feel the side that's not deformed even is dull and causing sagging). Also, would a cheekbone augmentation prevent sagging in jowl area

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. I recommend that you consider implants to improve the symmetry of your cheeks, and correct the under-projection on the left side. There are pre-formed implants, but they can also be custom made. The results are reliable, and do not depend on the survival of tissue grafts.
Best,Dr. Tower

Fat transfer is better because it has a good take and it will achieve more than what a cheek implant would do.

Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with a good eye and a good technique for the best results.

Best of luck !
