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?

Answer: Cheek Implants vs fat transfer
An exam will be required to see if you would be a good candidate for either fat transfer or an implant. Both are highly successful tor the right person. A full discussion re: pros and cons of each would take place at your exam with your plastic surgeon. In my practice most patients now choose to have fat transfer.

Answer: Fat grafting is very good Dear Sigel Hillel Micro Fat Grafting is a very good procedure for facial contouring. It can be used to contour the cheeks, jawline, temples and forehead. It involves harvesting the fat from an area such as the tummy of flanks and the fat is prepared and injected in small amounts to add contour. I combine fat grafting with eyelid surgery, face surgery, and for general facial contouring. Cheek implants are an option- and in the right hands can give good results. Good Luck.
