I am very thin due to genetics, there are no health issues. My lower cheeks right next to my mouth are sunken. I do not wish to use temporary fillers. Will fat transfer last in this region, given there is much movement from eating, and speaking? Do you suggest Sculptra or Fat grafting? Thank you

Answer: Sunken lower cheek: fat grafting or Sculptra? If you have enough fat that is the best choice: longest lasting and least chance of undesirable side effect but both are good choices. Part of your problem is skin laxity which will not be corrected of course. Your area of concern can be effectively treated. Fat transfer is an office procedure done under local anesthesia, sometimes with oral sedatives as well.

Answer: Fillers Fat would likely be a better choice in that area. You said that you did not want temporary filler but sculptra it is a temporary filler. Fat will have a good chance of lasting a very long time. My question is why do you have that on one side I would suggest an in person examination to determine the cause and give you suggestions to create better symmetry. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
