Can fillers make my cheeks and face fuller?
Question:
I have sunken cheeks and would love to add more fullness to my face. Is there one type of filler that works best for this and provides long-lasting result?
Answer:
Yes-Your own fat. I love fat grafting to have fullness to the face because it is permanent. Though not all the fat survives, but what does survive is permanent. Unfortunately though, a lot of patients with sunken cheeks are quite thin and do not have enough fat to graft. For these patients, I like Sculptra if I want to add volume to the entire face and I like Radiesse if I am only going in the cheeks themselves. Sculptra lasts two to three years, and Radiesse lasts a bit over a year.
