I am considering getting cheek augmentation as my cheeks do not reach my nose. When I smile my cheeks are very full and round, but at rest they are very flat, which makes my nose look larger in comparison. I would like a result that gives me the smile face at rest. I am concerned about how implants change over the years, as I am only 19, so do not know how my face will change as I age. Fat transfer is an option but is that riskier or safer? Would fat transfer solve the same problem? Which is better?
