Hi, I'm starting to be bothered by the sagging in the lower part of my face. I'm in my late 20s, and my lower cheeks have always been pouchy while the top is flat. I generally like a sharpness in my cheekbones moreso than the ideal cheek women should have. I had initially thought of going to the plastic surgeon to get a filler in my marionette lines, but when I think about it maybe a filler in my cheeks would help more overall while reducing those lines near my nose and mouth. Any advice is appreciated

Answer: Cheek fillers for sagging
From your pictures, it does appear that there is some flattening in your cheek between your lower eyelid area and you mouth area. If this is the case, then you could benefit from some filler to that area. Generally when this is done, it does help to give a little lift to the skin below the area that is treated, and this would improve the nasolabial folds (the lines that run from your nose to your mouth). There are a variety of fillers you could use, but I would most likely recommend Radiesse or Sculptra. In a consultation with an experienced physician who performs filler injections, you would be able to get more detailed information.

Answer: Options for sagging cheeks
Cheek fillers are only a temporary fix to improve flat cheek area. The best permanent solution to flat cheeks is to insert silastic cheek implants through an intraoral approach directly over the bone. This gives a nice permanent augmentation to the cheeks.
