I am wondering what the largest size cheek implant is. I lost all the fat in my cheeks leaving my face very hollow and bottom heavy. I am going to try fat transfer to fix it but just in case it doesn't work my next thought is cheek implants. I'm not sure if they come big enough to fill the area though?? What is the largest size in mm's?
