It looks like I have buccal fat and the fat in my cheeks have dropped a lot, I used to have them fuller when I was younger (I'm 23 now). Even when I laugh, it looks like I have no volume in my face. What do you think are the right procedures here? I've heard a lot of things about how buccal fat removal can make you look much older than you are, so would a cheek lift help? Thank you!
Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Consider your options for improving cheek contour Thank you for your question and for providing photos. We can improve cheek volume and contour in a number of ways. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical option that can lift the cheeks and add fullness, with results lasting approximately 6-12 months. For solutions with greater longevity, you may want to consider a fat transfer or cheek implants. A fat transfer would take fat from the belly or thighs and inject it into the cheeks to restore volume with long-lasting results. Customized cheek implants can be a permanent solution for increasing cheekbone projection and balancing facial proportions. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can help you decide on the best approach to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Filler Cheek Augmentation Can Restore The More Ideal, Feminine Heart-Shaped Oval Face Relax. The issue seems quite easily and readily fixable with the proper use of a robust HA filler injected into the upper outer cheek region. The results of a properly performed treatment (which, in experienced hands, should take no more than about ten to fifteen minutes) are immediate and typically elicits a "Wow!" reaction and engenders little to no significant downtime. Just make sure to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck. And, again, relax, your issue is a common one and pretty ease to remedy.

Answer: Buccal Fat Pad Re-location during Endoscopic Midface Lift. Your buccal fat pad can be used to support your mid-face area with an endoscopic mid-face lift operation. With the help of a camera system, 2 cm small incisions are made in the hairline and the cheek are is lifted up, resulting in a fuller upper face and an attractive facial figure. During this operation, your Bichat fat pad can also be transferred upwards and help this support even more. Endoscopic mid-face lift can be combined with brow lift and canthopexy (you don't need this one) and is a beautification operation rather than rejuvenation and it can be done in younger ages of life.
