Cheekbone restoration using fat

Cheekbone restoration with fat is an increasingly popular technique in eyelid & oculoplastic surgery, which uses lipofilling (or fat transfer) to add volume and improve facial contour.

This method offers several advantages over injections of hyaluronic acid or other synthetic fillers, thanks to the use of autologous adipose tissue (from the same patient), which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.

Why do cheekbones droop?

Cheekbones can lose their beautiful roundness and fall out due to a number of factors. Firstly, the natural aging process plays an important role. With age, the skin loses its elasticity and tone, which can lead to sagging of the tissues around the cheekbones. In addition, the loss of subcutaneous fat that occurs with aging can also contribute to this phenomenon, as it reduces the volume and structural support of the cheekbones.

Other factors can also play a role, such as genetics, weight fluctuations, smoking, excessive sun exposure and poor diet. For example, significant weight loss can lead to a reduction in fat volume around the cheekbones, which can make them appear droopier.

In addition, lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep, stress and poor hydration can affect skin health and contribute to premature aging, which can also be reflected in the appearance of cheekbones.

Fat injections: a good alternative to surgery?

The benefits of using fat to increase cheekbone volume include:
