I have very sunken looking cheeks

Question:
I have very sunken looking cheeks. Are fat injections a good solution for this?

Answer:
Cheek implants are not a one size fits all situation. There are several varieties of cheek implants that are of many sizes and shapes. After a thorough evaluation of your face we will be able to determine the best implant for you if that is what is necessary. I have had a great deal of success with fat injections to the face in the areas that I have place cheek implants in the past. The fat is harvested from your hips or abdomen and once it is injected into your cheeks will give you a natural appearing face that will also feel natural. I would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each procedure with you.
