HI I'm 22 years old & I want to have a stronger and more angular jawline and the same for my cheeks.I have asked a plastic surgeon and he said i only need injections in my cheeks because i'm really thin, but i don't know if injections can achieve that, because most of the people i know who got injections ended up with really fat cheeks!! should i just do what my surgeon told me? I would love to know what is the best and the safest way to do it. And thank you doctors you help a lot.

Facial asymmetry and plastic surgery healing:
most patients have preop asymmetry
swelling early on can last several weeks
late swelling can take 3 or 4 months
bruised nerves can take a few weeks to months to become active
From the photo, I would not recommend a facelift for you. Your problem is loss of facial volume. Fat grafting with PRP is your best option to restore some of the volume loss. Find a facial plastic surgeon with good experience in this area. Dr. Kevin Sadati Newport Beach, Ca
Midface lifts have a laundry list of problems even in the hands of experts. If you do not need it or can avoid it with other measures, that would be best. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
