The key factor in your question is that you mentioned a depression in the area that sustained an injury. Rather than just volumimzing and filling the cheek, the goal should be to determine if there is scar tissue that needs to be addressed. Sometimes, a surgical scar revision is necessary and would have long-term results. However, if the injury crushed the soft tissues of the cheek that can make any mode of treatment less satisfactory.To add filler to this area without evaluating the depression may result in an unattractive "tufted" look wherein the filler surrounds the depression but does nothing to lift the area in question. An experienced injector will address this to tailor the treatment plan to shape the face rather than just filling an area.This should be looked at by a facial plastic surgeon and all options discussed .Hope this helps!
You should consult a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced with injectable fillers. You should also see favorable photos of simillar cases.I've attached a link to a photo demonstrating enhancement of both cheeks with Silikon-1000. I have performed correction of cheek indentations with satisfying results.I hope this helps, and best regards.
Before having 'sunken cheeks" treated with a filler, you should wait at least 6 months after the injury to allow the injury to fully declare itself. After waiting an appropriate amount of time, I would use Sculptra. Sculptra was developed and approved as a treatment for cheek atrophy.
Of course, an examination of the need for volume replacement would need to be assessed. I have been using Sculptra for about 6-7 years. There are several issues of concern: 1. In my opinion, one vial of sculptra is usually not nearly enough to fill the cheeks; 2. One syringe...
You sound like a perfect Sculptra candidate. Fillers do go away in months and if you need considerable "plumping" the cost of repeating temporary fillers can get very high. Sculptra was originally approved in the US for treating lipo atrophy in patients with HIV over 5 years ago. Lipo...
Hi, thank you for sharing your photos—they really help me understand your facial structure and goals. Regarding your cheeks, 1 cc of filler may provide a subtle enhancement, particularly if your goal is mild contouring or a natural lift. However, for more noticeable cheekbone definition, many p...
Hi, thank you for sharing your photo and explaining your concerns. From what you’re describing, it sounds like you had filler dissolved due to unwanted fullness (“pillow face”), but you’re noticing some residual volume in a different area. It’s possible for filler to settle or appear in areas ...
Thank you for sharing your photos and your concerns. From what you describe, it sounds like the lines around your mouth are dynamic and volume-related, meaning they become less noticeable when you lift your cheeks. This usually points to volume loss in the midface rather than true “sagging” tha...
You have a very thoughtful eye for proportion — it’s true that the area near the nose, called the anterior cheek, plays a key role in facial balance and overall harmony. When this region appears slightly flat, it can make the midface look less contoured and affect how light naturally hits you...
