Fat graft to zygomatic bones to make cheekbones sharper and hollow cheeks? (Photos)

Question

I got buccal fat removal a year ago but my face didn't change because there was no fat in my face. I think my zygomatic bones are the problem. They are wide but not projected, so my cheeks can't be hollow. So I went to more experienced surgeon and he said that he can do fat graft to zygos so it can make hollow cheeks look. All I want a sunken cheeks like a model and I will do everything I can to achieve this. He said that fat graft is like fillers but permanent but I am not sure about it. Can it make cheekbones more prominent and create hollow cheeks? Please note that I am a bruxism victim.

Philip S. Schoenfeld, MD, FACS · Answer

Several thoughts on your question.  First, your photo does not show your mid or upper face so it is impossible to give you a good answer to your question.  Though you say you had buccal fat removal it really does not appear that this is the case.  Your lower face needs slimming from the photo that you had posted.  Fat to your upper face will make you look very wide based on your lower face.  I would strongly consider Botox to your masseter muscles for slimming and bruxism.  I would also look at having revision buccal fat removal.
