Cheek filler or implants?

Question

I'm having a severe delayed reaction to face fillers, & wondering what my options are.. Would implants do the same (cheek implants)

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I’m sorry that you’ve experienced unsatisfactory results from filler. The cheeks can also be augmented with a facial fat transfer or a custom-fit silicone implant. While implants are a more long-term solution, both options can enhance the cheek and under-eye area, adding fullness to the face and creating a supple, revitalized appearance.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your injection history, discuss your concerns and goals with you, and help you decide on the best course of action.

Hello. The quality and material of the implants used are important. If you have reacted to fillers, there is no harm in trying implants, which are a permanent solution. But for this, you should prefer an experienced and expert doctor and quality implants. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I'm sorry to hear of the reaction you are having from fillers.  Implants and fat transfer would be other options to the fillers.  Speak with a board certified plastic surgeon near you about the pros and cons of these options.
