Dermal Filler Cheeks
Restylane Lyft, Restylane Sub-Q, Juvederm or Radiesse placed in minutes, with no anesthesia needed, to lift and define flattened cheeks.
Non-surgical cheek augmentation with filler at Dr. Leonard Grossman’s Brooklyn, NYC practice restores flattened cheeks in minutes with Restylane Lyft, Juvederm, Radiesse or Sculptra, with no anesthesia needed and a same-day return to normal life. Dr. Grossman, who has used hyaluronic acid fillers since 1995, also offers stem cell-enhanced fat transfer for patients who want permanent volume from their own tissue.

Non-surgical cheek augmentation first, plus fat-based and surgical options when your goals call for them.
Restylane Lyft, Restylane Sub-Q, Juvederm or Radiesse placed in minutes, with no anesthesia needed, to lift and define flattened cheeks.
Poly-L-lactic acid injected into the fatty layer in about 20 minutes, gradually building collagen in the cheeks over the following months.
Your own purified fat, enhanced with stem cells, placed with a special needle for permanent cheek volume. Dr. Grossman’s preferred approach since 1993.
Silicone, Gore-Tex or Medpor implants exist, but Dr. Grossman has moved away from them in favor of fat, which carries fewer complications and an easier recovery.
Cheek filler pairs well with lip filler, Botox or under-eye fat grafting to refresh the whole face in a balanced way.
A precise surgical procedure that repositions sagging cheek tissue, for patients whose concern is descent rather than lost volume.
Non-surgical cheek augmentation with filler is the quickest of Dr. Grossman’s three cheek options. He places Restylane Lyft, Juvederm, Radiesse or Sculptra to restore the volume aging has taken. The product, the amount and the injection points follow your bone structure, how much volume you have lost and whether you need lift, contour or both. Treatment is typically done within minutes, with no incision and no anesthesia needed, and most patients go straight back to their day. If you would rather have permanent results from your own tissue, he also offers stem cell-enhanced fat transfer at his Brooklyn center.

Yes. Solid silicone, Gore-Tex and Medpor cheek implants are placed through incisions inside the mouth or in the lower eyelid. Dr. Grossman has moved away from them: after seeing how permanent his own fat grafting results are, he stopped using cheek implants, which carry a higher complication rate and a harder recovery. Patients who want lasting volume without an implant can discuss fat transfer, and those who want no surgery at all can choose non-surgical cheek augmentation.
