Hi I'm a 31 year old female and have noticed a worsening "dent" in my left cheek only ! It looks like a malar festoon up the top and then sinks in . I've noticed in some lighting it can look like the cheek is sagging ? Looking for a solution and what I can do to find out what's caused it.

Answer: Treating a hollow spot on the right cheek First and foremost, you should look at the pictures of your face from years ago and determine if that area of hollowness was present there earlier. If it was, I would consider having a fat transfer into the area which should provide you with a permanent and a natural result. Make sure that the hollow area is not anything new. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery

Answer: Nasojugal groove Do you sleep on your left side? If so, try to sleep on back, always. This is called a nasojugal groove and is typically associated with deep malar fat pad atrophy (lessened volume) and gravitational descent, possibly compounded by side sleeping. A number of treatments are used, the easiest and usually sufficient is filler. A high cross-linked filler is deposited deep right at the cheek bone apex and in the groove. If worse, may need additional deep filler injection into malar fat pad. Other options may be thread lift to reposition descending tissue to more youthful position. Neither should be prohibitively expensive. Hope this helps!
