Cheek Augmention by Dr. Lih-Ren Jong       

                                                   











People with sunken cheeks looks older. People with "baby face" looks younger. Presently fat, which is harvested from obesity part of trunk, is used to fill up the depressed part on face. For people with prominent zygoma, fat injection into cheeks or temples can improve facial contour.

The procedure of operation is :
(1) liposuction: the liposuction sites usually are on lateral thigh or abdomen.
(2) the fat is cleared to remove unhealthy fat , oil or blood.
(3) The extracted fat is injected into depressed area. 

General anesthesia may be needed when injecting fat into cheeks.

The benefits of fat injection into cheek (another term "fat grafting") are:
(1) The survival fat can last longer (more than years).  So that it is quite cost-effective than filler injection (such as hyaluronic acid injection).
(2) In appearance and feeling, the result is natural.
(3) There is no risk of rejection.  Some portion of fat will be absorbed by body.  To compensate the lost fat, more fat will be injected.  There is more swelling in first 1-2 weeks.

Second section of fat grafting may be needed if fuller cheek is expected (the interval between sections is 3-6 months). 

For people whose body fat is too thin to be harvested, filler or sculptra injection (presented in another chapter in the website) is another option.
