Fillers Don't Seem to Work to Volumize my Face?

loneskate
At age 47 I had a facelift. At age 57 I had a "facelift revision" and now at age 64 I've had another facelift revision. All by the same surgeon. He recommends CO2 flat-beam resurfacing but said that he couldn't "plump" me out. I had 3 Radiesse injections on the cheek bone. The results disappeared after 3 days! I suspect that other injectables in the cheeks will have zero results. No fat on my body to transfer (5'11", 125# male). Another PS blamed it on genetics and told me to "eat more".
