Hello! I am a 17 year old girl and I am considering getting permanent cheek implants or fillers to fill in my naturally hollow under eyes/upper cheeks, when I am of age. I am just curious about the cost of implants compared to permanent fillers, and which one you would recommend iyo. Also, would permanent cheek augmentation like this lift my jowl area? my jowls are also very saggy and chubby and I am wondering if this would help change the appearance of them. Thank you!
Answer: Cheek Implants, Permanent Fillers, Saggy Jowls Younger patients often regret decisions that they have made later in life.Various temporary solutions Perlane, Volluma, Radiesse and Sculptra can give a good correction for one to two years. After this if a patient likes the look they can elect a more permanent solution like Artefill. Implants are wrought with complications and often require revision. The Vector Lift with one of these options will only build up the cheeks. The jowls will not be affected much. The jowls require a direct treatment as with liposuction, Precision Tx laser or fat dissolution injections. Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions. Cheers

Answer: Cheek filler cost There are many great options for cheek fillers, and permanent fillers are rarely recommended, and certainly not at your age. The face changes, weight fluctuates, and face preferences change. I'd also be reluctant to look at surgery at your age. Best to speak to your dermatologist about the best filler option for you, ideally one made of hyaluronic acid which is very versatile, safe, and can be dissolved partially or completely very easily if you're not happy with it.

Answer: Permanent cheek filler cost? I absolutely would suggest you NOT have permanent fillers. I use temporary fillers which are very predictable as far as results and how long they last. Many patients have come to me over the years who have had permanent fillers injected by other injectors. They can have problems as far as 10 years later! They may have lumps and bumps; nodules, etc. In my opinion, it's not as safe and predictable as temporary fillers. In addition, you can have cheek implants when you are a bit older. Implants are permanent and require a surgery; temporary fillers last several months to a year and have minimal downtime.
