I want to get rid of a large dimple that was created when I fell and hit my face on a corner as a child. What can I do? (photos)

Facial sculpting and contouring of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The cheek void is significant and my experience would recommend fat grafting to this area. The fat can be injected into multiple planes and looks and feels so natural (it is your own fat). In some cases, this may require a second or third procedure, but the same would occur with other types of fillers. A least with fat, there is a possibility that the results would be permanent.

Since dimple and asymmetry are result of fat tissue atrophy and scarring as result of trauma, the most meaningful reconstruction would consist of fat grafting of the area to achieve more symmetry and balance. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial fat grafting and reconstructive surgery background is recommended. Good luck.
