Fillers, fat grafting (provided you have enough fat deposits) 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.

Lawrence Kass, MD · Answer

There are many types of fillers which can be used to achieve cheek augmentation. And of course, there is also surgically implants to consider. I do like Radiesse for someone your age and excellent results can be achieved.

Kurtis Martin, MD · Answer

Fat Transfer Results Are Long Lasting and Excellent for Making Cheeks fuller and less sunken.

	Cheek implants are permanent and helpful for severe problems whereas fat transfer helps the majority without the need for implants.
	Fat Cells that survive the transfer process continue to live like other fat cells and  the results are long lasting. The problem is not all transferred fat survives the process. In the face more than 75% may survive and more than 60% in the buttocks.. Of most interest is that the fat that does survive behaves as if it was still in the donor site. Therefore as the surrounding native fat tends to atrophy the transferred fat will not. Over time you will notice that the area may not be as full as it once was, but more than likely it is because of the native fat atrophy rather than the transferred fat.

	Fat Grafting Results Permanent improvement in most cases. Micro fat grafting, also called structural fat grafting involves multiple injections of very small amounts  of fat injected in a series of discrete layers to allow for better revascularization and "take", gradually increasing the volume of  new soft tissue. My experience is that it is a great minimally invasive procedure for cheek augmentation.
	Fat Cells that survive this transfer process continue to live like other fat cells. Therefore the results are long lasting. The problem is not all transferred fat survives the process. In the face for example it has been estimated that up to 60%  or more will survive in the cheek region. Of most interest is that the fat that does survive behaves as if it was still in the donor site. Therefore as the surrounding native fat tends to atrophy the transferred fat will not. Over time you will notice that the area may not be as full as it once was, but more than likely it is because of the native fat atrophy rather than the transferred fat.

When the cheeks are very weak and flat, the best correction is going to come from cheek implants. What style and size of implant to use would depend on your unique facial anatomy and needs. I would encourage you to submit pictures of your face for more definitive recommendations.

Dara Liotta, MD, FACS · Answer

There are may options to restore fullness and definition to the cheek area. Options include facial fillers, autologous fat transfer, or cheek (malar) implants. It is difficult to make more specific recommendations in your case without photographs or an exam. I suggest consulting with a qualified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon in your area.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

There are ways to enhance the cheek area but without an evaluation, it is difficult to make any recommendations. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with enhancing your appearance!

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

Photos, of your face, would help in the evaluation but if your cheeks are flat or concave, cheek augmentation with fillers (I prefer Perlane) or cheek implants would improve the aesthetic shape of the cheeks. Just be certain that the MD, understands and follows the proper aesthetic principles of cheek and facial beauty.
