I Hate my Cheeks,, Please Help Me :'( (photo)

Fillers, fat grafting and implants can all be used to help enhance the facial contours and create volume and definition where it is wanted. It will be best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.

my best solution for hollow cheeks especially in young healthy patients is to do fat grafting. it lasts longer than fillers, it looks a lot more natural and its your own fat. no matter how skinny, we all have some stores of fat that can be used. not sure where youre located but Im in NYC. Ive treated a lot of patients like your self with great results with fat grafting

Hi HG,

Don't hate!!!  Enjoy your youth.  Using a bit of filler will plump up your cheeks.  I would consider Sculptra, Perlane, or Radiesse.  The most important aspect of your treatment is choosing an experience injecting physician with natural artistic vision.  Go for multiple consultations and check out the staff.  If they look good, then likely it will be okay.  If they look like genetic mutants, then move on to the next office.  Good luck and be well.

Hollow midface/cheeks can make someone appear older. There are various filling options available to make the midface/cheek fuller, including one's own fat (fat transfer from belly/thighs) or various synthetic fillers, each with pros/cons.

Hi HGF.  There are many different injection options for your situation.  As you pointed out, Juvederm and Restylane are possibilities.  In the area around the cheekbones where we see what looks like a hollowing of the cheeks, we would use a thicker or longer lasting filler.  We would prefer Perlane, Radiesse (9-12 months) or Sculptra (up to 2 years).  Sculptra would most likely produce the best results as the product helps you to stimulate your own collagen.
