Fat Grafting or Cheek Implants?

April 20, 2009
Asked By:miki gold in arizona

I am 41 years old, and was thinking of refining my lower eyelids. I also have some loss of fullness in the lower area of my face, but I have nice cheeks (only they're not as full as they used to be). I wanted to know, will fat grafting or cheek implant (or a combination of both) help?
