How to Get Chubby Cheeks

You are a perfect candidate for fat transfer to the face. We can take fat from your belly, hips, or thighs. I prefer thighs, but they do all work. The fat then can be used to augment your cheeks, lift your brow, transition the eye sub-unit to the cheek sub-unit, and sculpt the lips and jawline. This is my favorite procedure as it makes patients very happy.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question and photos. You can add fullness and definition to the cheeks with three different treatment options. The first is injectable dermal filler, which is placed into the cheeks to get the additional volume you want. Fillers are quick and relatively comfortable, but the results are temporary. You will likely need to schedule treatment sessions every 6-18 months to maintain your positive results. The second option is facial fat transfer. This treatment removes excess fat from another area of the body like the abdomen or hips and injects the removed fat into the cheeks to create more fullness. Because your own fat is used, the result can be quite natural and also tends to last much longer than fillers.

The last option is surgical cheek implants, which would give you the definition you are looking for permanently. This procedure can be performed using local anesthesia and incisions inside the mouth to place the implants. All of these procedures should be performed by either an experienced injector or a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible results.

Fat grafting to the face can greatly improve the hollowness of the face and create volume where it is needed. The fat tissue that survives after the transfer will also likely be permanent. Best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options in person after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Fillers can be great for restoring volume to sunken cheeks. Hyaluronic
acid gel fillers such as Voluma can add immediate volume, while collagen building
fillers such as Sculptra can help to gradually restore volume and add contour
with long-lasting results. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist
with experience in injectable fillers for an in-person consultation to find the
right treatment plan for you.
