I have fat loss in my face and really want a full cheek look. I have tried injections and they are costly and don't last. I just had some fat grafting but want a more full look in my cheek area. I'm looking for recommendations regarding cheek implants. Size and maybe what you would not recommend. THANK YOU !!
Answer: Volume loss in cheek areas If you do not have any underlying health issues, then combined cheek and mid face implants may benefit you. There are some longer lasting fillers such as Volume 2-3 years and Sculptra 3 years which may be options to consider as well. Sizing would need to be done with a consultation so that measurements can be made. Good luck in your area.

Answer: Cheek implants The most permanent way of correcting loss of facial volume is via facial implants. Even when fat is expertly grafted and successful it still undergoes involutional loss associated with aging. The size of implant is based on the patient's anatomy, larger face larger implants. Regards.

Answer: Cheek implant candidate A full set of photographs of the face are required to make a determination, because the cheeks/ maxilla and the implants are both three-dimensional structures. Silastic cheek implants are placed for patients who have a flat maxilla and a flat cheek profile and desire augmentation in the mid face. Cheek implants are manufactured in a large array of shapes and sizes which is best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. For many examples, diagrams and more information, please see link and the video below

Answer: Cheek Implants The combination of cheek and temporal implants can be a very effective approach in the treatment of severe facial lipoatrophy as you have. The best implants for facial wasting are either submalar styles or a combination of malar-submalar shell implant. The goal is to replace the soft tissue loss of the buccal fat pad which extends up into the temples. This is why the combination of cheek and temporal implants works so well.

Answer: Cheeks nuedan11, actually you are a good candidate and I much prefer implants to fat injections. Much more reliable and over time hold up much better with less complications. See an experienced surgeon who does "only faces". Good luck!
