Can't get rid of cheek dents. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

Have had to three Juvederm injections in creases, and Restalyn injections in tear trough. Still, cheek creases/dents won't go away. Help!

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It appears that your cheek bones are smaller and that cheek augmentation with fat grafts, fillers (more aggressive) or implants may be your option. Also, conservative liposuction with small cannula of the naso-labial fold may decrease visibility of naso-labial crease in particular when combined with filler injections. In-person evaluation by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation would help. Good luck.

Hello lily munroeCheek implants are available in a range of different shapes and sizes, they are mostly customized to fit a specific facial structure. Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse and RestylaneLyft are great alternatives to cheek implants, also fat transfer or injection can be done.

Francis Johns, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.If you are not getting the results you want with filler, the next step is fat grafting. You take your own fat and re-inject it into the areas of concerns. It is a natural and long lasting fix to your problem.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  It appears that you would most benefit from additional volume into your mid-face.  I would advocate for a combination of Voluma into your cheeks for immediate volume and lifting of the surrounding tissues as well as Sculptra into the lower cheek and jawline region to help steadily improve your soft tissue thickness. Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss the best options based on your goal appearance.

If you are talking about the depressions of your lower cheeks, I have found this a very good place to us Sculptra.
