One cheek is flatter, but i am now in a location where Voluma is not available. Can we augment the flatter cheek with Radiesse? (which would be directly over the existing Voluma product). Or, would it be better to go with a different filler?
Radiesse can be used in the same area as Juvederm without any problem. I frequently use the two products together in the midface area. Generally I find Radiesse a more effective deep filler and Juvederm or Restylane more effective for superficial augmentation. Radiesse will last longer in this area. The most important consideration is the ability of your surgeon to obtain pleasing, natural contours regardless of the specific filler used.
I have under eye hollowness and would like to know which non-surgical procedure would be the best. Is it Radiesse, Juvederm, or something else? How much would it cost? Thank you.
The hollow area under your eyes, the tear trough, has a number of cause s. It is important to identify the cause(s) before jumping into a cure! The muscle which aids in closing the eye is attached to the facial bone at the tear trough and causes a depression which can become worse if fat from inside the eye pushes (herniates) outward and becomes more prominent as te lower eyelid skin becomes lax or loose and hangs over the area. Both of the above causes lead to shadowing and that tired look.
Fillers "plump" the tissues and minimizes (temporarily) the shadowing...however the skin and muscle are thin and can bruise easily. Also, filler applied too close to the skin can be seen as a blue streak, similar to a long-standing bruise.
Filler use in this area, as far as I know, is "off- label" and is not FDA approved currently.
In skilled hands and with experience, fillers in this area work great. Ask your Board certified Plastic Surgeon, what other fillers (other than the hyaluronic acid fillers you list) may also work in this area and might leave less prolonged blue streaking.
I hope this helps!
Good Luck!
