Hoe Do I Reduce The Hollowness of My MIdface?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’d like to try to reduce the appearance of my nasolabial fold, and fill in some hollows under my cheekbones and (ideally) around my nose—ultimately to add fullness to (and maybe appear to shorten) my midface.My left side in the picture is a bit more what I was going for, but I’m just drawing on my phone screen, so it’s all a little rough.

A:When you look at the six separate or three paired areas of facial hollows that you have illustrated that could certainly be addressed by implant augmentation of the bone. Giving their relatively discrete locations I would just modify some existing implants to create the augmentation effect for the sub mailer cheek, paranasal and upper maxillary regions.
