Facial lipoatrophy is a not uncommon facial condition where fat is lost in the buccal area under the cheek, creating a gaunt or sunken-in look. The use of submalar implants is one treatment option that is the cornerstone of its treatment. Fat injections may be used to treat other areas where the implant does not cover. Dr. Barry Eppley, board-certified plastic surgeon of Indianapolis, presents a typical case of facial lipoatrophy and its treatment with submalar cheek implants.
