Is fat transfer enough, or would you recommend implants? (Cheeks)

September 29, 2023
Asked By:will_s_0998

My issue with fillers is how expensive they are to maintain and how they'll age (aesthetically and medically). Ideally, I'd opt for Renuva, but I'm not sure it would be able to add enough volume compared to a fat transfer. I've heard a lot of bad things about cheek implants (asymmetry, nerve damage, etc.) What's my best option here? Thanks!
