Answer: Fuller cheeks Thank you for the pictures. As was stated before, I completely agree with you. Fuller cheeks definitely give that "heart shape" to your face and fits your frame very well. Couple different ways of doing it. Voluma works great. It gives a very nice, soft look and is designed specifically to help build up the cheek bone area. Sculptra as well. It may take two treatments with sculptra, and the results take a little bit longer to see as its your body creating collagen, however, they may last you longer than a hyaluronic acid product like voluma. Either strategy works great from a filler standpoint. I would suggest you start with fillers to get an idea of where you are going and what can be achieved. Eventually fat grafting is certainly the best, and as things progress it is great for midface rejuvenation. There is certainly more downtime with fat grafting, usually I see my patients have 2 weeks of swelling before things completely settle. Implants involve surgery as well, with considerable downtime. I have started to shy away from implants as Ive noticed that as patients continue to age and lose volume, the implant simply cannot give them the global fullness and natural look that it once did as it is confined to one particular area. For some things, implants are great. For others, there are many different options. I hope this helps.

Answer: Suggestions for fuller cheeks I agree that your cheeks improved from swelling. There are many options today for cheek enhancement. A good start would be to ask your injector since you already have a good relationship and trust for that person. Fillers such as Voluma, Radiesse, and Sculptra are non permanent fillers that can last one to three years or so while Bellafill is a more permanent filler. A fat transfer may also be considered and fairly reliable in experienced hands. Cheek implants would require surgery and more downtime but are permanent. Don't overdo it, you already have better facial features than most.
