I’m 22, female, and I have very weak features

Question:
I’m 22, female, and I have very weak features. I’ve been doing some reading on cheek implants and I heard that it’s better if your skin is already somewhat loose. Since I’m pretty young and I have firm, tight skin, does that mean that I won’t get good results from cheek implants?

Answer:
I have been doing cheek implants for quite some time. The cheek implants are placed deep beneath the skin along the bone of the face and loose or tight skin will not really have any effect on the appearance of the cheek implants. The thickness of the skin, the fullness of your face, and the selection of the properly sized cheek implant will have more to do with the overall result than the laxity of your skin.
