Age 32, petite,(5'1, 105 lbs.) I have previously had HA fillers to cheeks and tear trough, great result. However, I am still somewhat hollow in the Submalar and Buccal areas. Have had a series of Sculptra injections and I am very underwhelmed (6 months post 3 vials.) Considering fat grafting but also curious if a thicker HA filler like Voluma could augment this area. I have heard different things from different providers. Fat transfer is a little frightening to me.

Answer: Filler or fat transfer Thanks for your question. Voluma and other fillers added can be an excellent combo in your case. However, I have used fat transfer in those areas in all ages with good and lasting results. Higher volumes above the 1-1.5 cc volume in filler syringes can be used in fat transfer so that a really nice lift and fill out can be done all over the face in each needed area. Being 32 yo you should get great longevity of the fat... far longer than any filler will last. Fat transfer is safe when done by an experieced injector. For faces requiring 3-4 vials of filler the fat transfer is a safe and longer lasting alternative. Hope this helps.
