Will I be able to naturally regain volume in the cheeks if I quit smoking?

Nizhoni08
collectively I have smoked for 10 years. off and on since I was 12. I am now 26 and Iv seen significant volume loss. Id rather not provide a picture but to let you know. Ive been mistaken for being in my 30s, and well, being 26 and looking 35 is devastating for me. I cant do surgery or fillers right now because of finances but Im quiting smoking and Im wondering if the loss of volume in my cheeks is reversable once Ive been smoke free for a while. I would atleast like to look 26 instead of 35.
