Cheek Fat Helps with a Youthful Appearance

For most of us, the aging process involves cheeks that become more sunken and hollow-looking with time. Thanks to new, breakthrough research conducted by a group of plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center, certain fat compartments in the face might hold the key to providing patients with fuller-looking cheeks and, by extension, a more youthful appearance.

As part of their research, the plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern set out to map cheek-fat compartments in the skin that, when filled with fat or implants, dramatically improve facial appearance. Aside from providing fuller, more youthful-looking cheeks, inserting fat into these compartments can also translate into greater volume around the eyes and fewer lines around the mouth and nose. Together, all of these mean a younger-looking you.

By identifying these compartments beneath the skin, and by establishing a connection between filling these compartments and achieving desired results, the researchers have contributed to the ever-improving field of plastic surgery.
