What are options for sagging malar fat pads, weak chin/jaw & hollowness under the eyes? (photos)

Question

I'm a 28 year old male, 5'10 145lbs. I've been unhappy with my face for quite some time now. I have unusually thick malar fat pads that sag and protrude out. The sagging has also caused hollowness under my eyes. I’m also unhappy with my weak chin and jaw. I prefer a more permanent solution rather than fillers. Please advise on what procedures I need to have done to achieve a masculine, well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing face.

Hi Zac,Thank you for the photos.  If you were my patient I would likely recommend a chin implant augmentation with liposuction of your neck.  It appears that you would be an excellent candidate for Ultherapy of your face and malar pad region as well.  After that, the use of a combination of Voluma and Restylane filler should help with your under eye hollowness.  Make sure to choose your treating physician carefully based on their skill, expertise, and most importantly their artistic vision.  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

Your cheeks would benefit from some liposuction and a chin implant could be of some benefit for you, but the change would be only slight.

There are several options to rejuvenate the face and address the areas of your concern while still maintaining a masculine appearance.  The best recommendation is for you to consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek with a thorough discussion of the options available to best enhance your face.  3-dimensional computer imaging will also help you visualize what you may look like and serve as an important communication tool with your doctor.
