19 year old male. I am somewhat frustrated because I get told I look way older than I actually am. Just a few years ago, before my bout of cystic acne, my skin was youthful. I notice that I have a better appearance when my cheekbones aren't as defined as they usually are. Sometimes I notice that they get less defined towards the evening. Also I have puffiness near the eyes from time to time. Pictures provided, see for yourself. Need advice.

Answer: Midface Volume Loss Thank you for your question. The best treatments for this type of mid face volume loss are either sculptra or autologous fat injections (transfer of your own fat). Both offer long term filling of the area you are concerned but it will likely take several treatments of each one to get your final and optimal result. Good Luck!

Answer: MIdfacial Lipoatrophy Thanks for your post and photos. Your bout with cystic acne and treatment for this condition my have resulted in loss of soft tissue volume/ fat from inflammation related to your cystic acne. Fortunately midfacial lipoatrophy can successfully be treated with injectable fillers or fat. I would recommend you consider filler with Sculptra Aesthetic, which gives natural and long lasting results for the mid face. The puffiness around your eyes requires and exam and further evaluation to understand and properly treat. Best wishes.
