I'm really worried about losing cheek fat, and it's been happening for the past five years. I had really bad acne vulgaris and, after two years of treatment, I've managed to get it under control. But now, I've noticed a big loss in my cheek fat. Is there anything I can do to get it back? I've heard about fat injections but don't know much about them. Can you explain how they work, how much they might cost, and any pros and cons?
