A 7th Vlog, CHEEKS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

December 29, 2007 by dr. lam 

I have just seen a couple of patients come through my door who have had a variety of fillers and fat put into their cheeks, who look less than ideal (I did not do their work!).  In my latest vlog installment, I talk about how big cheeks is not my objective when I do fat grafting or fillers.  That is what I am trying to avoid.  Instead, I create a balanced look by gently augmenting the cheek IN BALANCE with the surrounding eyelid and areas below the cheeks.  Just making a big cheek is ugly.  That is why cheek implants fail.  That is why throwing fat into the cheeks fails.  Interestingly, cheeks done right can be the most important area for aesthetic facial rejuvenation and to make the eyes look less tired.  For more details on how I look at cheeks, watch my vlog in my media center.
