Youthful Face: Apples of the Cheeks

"You are just so adorable! I just want to pinch your cheeks!" Little kids hear this all the time, directed to them by mothers, friends, and naturally, the dreaded distant relatives. But for the majority of us, it has been many, many years since we've heard this directed towards ourselves. These plump and rosy cheeks are tell tale signs of youth. However, the malar fat pad, commonly termed the apples of the cheeks, can become flat with age or weight loss. "There is a saying that you can love your body or love your face, but not at the same time." say Chicago facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anil Shah. "This often is a common observation by patients that as they lose weight, their face loses fullness." This is certainly noticed in the apples of the cheeks, creating an aged look. "On the other hand", continues Dr. Shah, "when patients maximize their apples in their cheeks, they may accentuate volume along their body, not ideal for health reasons. The classic catch 22." So what is the solution? How can you achieve those pinch worthy apples?. Dr Shah says there is a solution. "With facial fillers, patients can continue to keep their bodies buff while keeping their faces youthful. Facial fillers which work best are either hyalouronic acid derivatives (termed HA's) such as Restylane or Juvederm or calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse). Each of these fillers work by adding volume to the face." In addition, studies have demonstrated that these fillers are often replaced by collagen, which is the material of youth and volume. The down time of fillers is typically minimal with many patients going back to work or out that evening after treatment. The key step is the injector's technical ability to artistically transform cheeks so that they appear youthful without looking overly plump. Once your apples are rejuvenated, you may want to steer clear from that plucky aunt who just can't resist fuller cheeks!
