Cheeks are often associated with youthful beauty and health. They provide balance and help to fill out the middle portion of the face. In our youth, our cheeks are fuller. As we age, the fat pads that fills out our cheeks and gives them their plumpness, change position and fall. They can even flatten out and disappear, giving the face a caved-in or sunken appearance. Once this happens, the supportive or connective tissue beneath the skin erodes and the face becomes thin and flat with little or no definition. Deep depressions, smile lines, and wrinkles appear.
There are several ways to resculpt the face and fill out the cheeks. Fat injections may be performed by suctioning fat with a small tube from another part of the body and injecting it into the cheeks.
Injectable fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm can also be injected into the cheek area to volumize the midface.
