Fat grafting to build cheek volume

[OnlyWs]

I got a zygo+infra implant that was quite big (4.5mm~) per side.

But since I started with quite recessed cheekbones (anterior recessed, they are quite wide) this has helped but not as much volume as I’d like.

Getting a larger implant isn’t an option as going much bigger than 4.5mm is asking for problems in terms of it being obvious as I age.

So I’m left with 2 options as I see it: filler or fat grafting.

Fat grafting is less precise and would likely need multiple sessions plus I don’t even know if it would create the ‘sculpted’ look is want.

But filler overtime would migrate and make me bloated and I’d destroy my skin quality getting it dissolved and refilled every few years.

At the moment, I’m considering getting HA filler probably juradem or whatever it’s called to test out the look.

Then once it fades, replace it with fat grafting.

anyone experience of can link an example on here of a man who got fat grafting not for undereye but specifically for cheekbone volume?

Malar implants aren’t on the table?

I’d just use filler tbh, I’ve never heard of fat grafting for anterior recession, only around the eye area.

I mean I already got pretty big ones as I mentioned I don’t know of a good surgeon who’s be willing to go bigger and I’m not sure I’d want to.

I’ll probably stick to filler cause it can ‘stack’ better whereas fat tends to spread

This is a before and after the fat graft.


I’d almost be tempted to use fat dissolver and gain body fat, then you can have healthy fat pads everywhere you need (depending on body fat)
