I’m wondering what can be done about my sad cheek situation. Not doing Voluma (fillers only last 3 weeks for me) and I’m not doing fat transfer AGAIN (had a failed fat transfer to cheeks and lips) So what permanent fix can I do? Mid face lift? Buccal fat removal? Cheek implants? The doctor that did the fat transfer thought I had major weight loss due to my sunken cheeks. I haven’t. It’s just genetics. I just think my whole face would look so much nicer if I had cheekbones and no jowls.
Answer: Weak Cheeks? Implants or Fillers Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients. Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you. Fillers: Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection DowntimeHope this helps.

Answer: Cheeks Thanks for your question and sharing your photos. You are beautiful just the way you are! You don't need buccal fat removal or anything as drastic as a midface lift. Cheek implants may be a solution for you or trying one of the long lasting fillers from a different line - I like using Restylane Lyft in the cheeks for patients who have not had lasting results with Voluma. Best wishes with achieving your desired look.

Answer: What can be done to pump up the cheek areas Thank you for providing your photographs. The first thing to do is to go to a qualified plastic surgeon who is familiar with all the non-surgical and surgical options available to you. There are several non-operative options that include Different types of facial fillers. Some are specific to certain areas of the face and used for only deeper layers like Voluma. Others can be used more superficially in the subcutaneous tissue. Operative techniques include using cheek implants or fat grafting. I have done both and I prefer using your own tissue with fat to augment the cheeks. You don't need very much and it's important not to create disharmony in your face. All the best!

Answer: Wanting Volume in the Cheeks Thank you for your question and pictures. Firstly, you have a lovely face, you definitely do not have jowls so a facelift wouldn't be suitable. I think if you try tried dermal filler and fat transfer then cheek implants. Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon

Answer: Cheeks You are too young for a facelift. Usually fillers are the best option in your age group and the most natural filler is fat. Other HA fillers will not look natural after several injections. You may not have had a good results from the fat grafting the first time but a second attempt may take. Placing micro fat grafts along your lower orbital rim and malar eminence would be indicated.
