Is fat transfer a good option for cheek augmentation?

An experienced surgeon can quickly identify age-related facial hollowing in the midface area. Fat loss is evidenced as the youthful cheek contour begins to fade, under-eye bags become more prominent, and the nasolabial folds or “smile lines” deepen. Fortunately, the cheek is one of the regions of the face best suited for a fat grafting procedure. Its multiple, well-defined fat compartments make it ideal for the surgeon to volumize and sculpt. It is also a region where the percentage of fat reabsorption, that is, the fat that is absorbed by the body after the procedure, is relatively low, prolonging its result.
