A  person's appearance is his calling card.  You can only make a first impression one time, so it is important to make a good one, especially with a prospective employer or client.  If your face has begun showing obvious signs of age, you may be wondering what you can do about it. There are a number of aesthetic and cosmetic procedures available to help people look younger.  For a person considering cosmetic surgery in South Florida, there are many highly experienced, board certified plastic surgeons that would be happy to help you decide which procedures are right for you.

One category of procedures that can make a difference is cheek augmentation.  Full cheeks are definitive of youthful health and beauty.  As a person ages, the fat pads that fill out the cheeks can fall, change position, or even disappear altogether.  This can give a face a sunken or even caved-in appearance.  Once the fat pads are gone, the connective tissue that supported them begins to erode which allows the face to gain smile lines and wrinkles.

Cosmetic surgery in South Florida can correct this problem using a number of injectable fillers or even permanent fillers.  Fat from the patient's own body is one of the most preferred fillers.  It can be gathered from many areas of the body and allows for a more natural look.  Many surgeons who perform cosmetic surgery in South Florida also use other injectable fillers such as Radiesse and Sculptra.  Cheek augmentation can make a noticeable improvement to the youthful appearance of the face.
