Can fillers address buccal fat loss with aging? (photos)

Question

I'm 34f and just recently lost a small portion of my buccal fat (I did not have a removal!). Would stardard fillers like Juvaderm types be a good choice to make my buccal area look a bit fuller? Do fillers to this area require a special technique or is this something any licensed surgeon can help with? I'm not interested in fat grafting. Thank you

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dermal fillers, including Juvederm products, are commonly used to add volume to the cheeks.  This includes the buccal area.

You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injector. Successful filler cheek augmentation requires experience, proper injection techniques, and the use of appropriately robust HA volumizing fillers, such as Voluma XC.  Hope this helps and best of luck.

Fillers are a great choice to improve facial contours including the buccal area.  One of the nice benefits of fillers is that you can go slowly and work up to the look you are wanting.  Some of the results can be seen right away.  Visit with an experienced injector to learn more about treatment.
