A shot scar facelift can lift the cheek area and avoid a deep nasolabial fold that is sometimes made worse with fillers.
Thank you for the photos. You have good skin quality, so there is no need to tighten skin. Addition of volume (fat) would significantly improve the contours of the face by reducing the unwanted shadows generated by fat loss. Plus, it is a permanent result with very natural looking changes.
At 27 you should focus on filling and non invasive technology. A facial fat transfer would be a good option. Fat is natural and there is a limitless supply so full correction is always possible.
Unfortunately your photos do not show entire periorbital area (midface, eyes and lower forehead) which is needed for proper evaluation of your problem. Based on your photos, deep tear trough creases should be addressed with transconjuctival blepharoplasty, while cheeks, infra orbital and possibly, supraorbital areas could be treated with fat grafting. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with periorbital rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.
This depends on what you are bothered by. Globally, I think you can just handle more volume in the midface and also consider some possible skin tightening treatments (like microneedling with radiofrequency). Most likely you did not get enough filler the first time around. It looks like you primarily need volume now in the medial midface area to minimize your tear trough. If you had unlimited budget and just let someone go do whatever they desired, I would think something like 2-4 syringes of filler (and it's possible you also just didn't get enough the first time around).
Three options I use:Non-surgical is Voluma 1-2 syringes to the Malar eminence to increase volume to the outer cheek. This can be repeated to maintain the improvement.Surgical method of transferring your fat to your cheeks. I like to mix Platelet Rich Plasma to increase the fat being integrated to your cheek area. Cheek implants: an excellent method to enhance the cheek. The implant is permanent (though it is removable if you don't like the look). The implant gives a great contour to your cheeks and feels like the bony part of your cheek.
Good morning!For the depression area under the eyes and by your alar base, yes volume replacement would be a great option (filler vs fat vs implant - all options). It also appears that you have some texture and discoloration of the skin, which could be addressed with a variety of options as well (peels, IPL, lasers).Well wishes!
Fat embolism from a transfer to the face would be exceptionally rare, if not virtually impossible. But a chin implant is far more predictable and almost always a better option than for fat to the chin for augmentation.
So usually when young people ask about rejuvenating SURGERY, it's not appropriate, but you do have heavy upper eyelids. I think upper eyelid surgery despite your young age would be of benefit and make you look brighter and more awake. Fat transfer is a personal choice and is more transformative...
You can expect a 20%-30% retention of fat at 1 year. At that point a 2nd session may be needed and then you can expect a higher retention. The best thing about facial fat transfer is that of all the fillers it is the most natural.
