Can Fat Transfer Be Used to Create Sculpted, High Cheekbones?

Fat grafting can absolutely be used to resculpt and shape the face.  It is my preferred technique for these goals and the correction of early facial aging.  All facial implants have a complication profile that is too high in comparison in my opinion and never produce as beautiful a result.  I hope this helps!

 

All the best,

Creation of high cheek bones can be done with fat but  is better done with silicone implants. These are permanent and do not have to be repeated and are symmetrical. I use fat when the patient has good cheekbones but needs a small amount of definition.
