Question:
I'm 40, female, and I just got cheek implants a couple of months ago. I love them, but recently I heard that as you age and lose fat in your face, your implants can make you look harsh and manly. Is this true? Answer:
Preformed cheek implants fitted correctly to the patient should continue to look natural as the patient ages. However, in my opinion, cheek implants placed too high can sometimes be more masculine in an older individual. If loss of fat is an issue, fat injection or injection of a synthetic filler can work well in the cheek. Posted by William E. O'Mara Jr., M.D. |
