Pockets/Pouches Beside Mouth: How can I fix these? Filler, Botox, Fat Grafting, Laser Tightening, Liposuction?

February 25, 2016
Asked By:c928 in Nashville, TN

I am 32 years old and hate these "pouches" and the indention they cause in my cheek. I've gotten Voluma (maybe not enough) in my cheeks in the hopes to lift the area to no avail. Not sure how to fix this and I feel I am surely to young and in no need of a lift of any kind? One doctor I saw suggested the Voluma to lift and the other suggested botox and maybe some laser lifting. I have read about localised lipo, but don't think it would apply to these sort of pockets? Thank you.
