I went for a consultation to get a filler in my nasolabial folds. The Doctor suggested to inject Radiesse in my cheeks instead. Said that they are little flat, and filling them would take care of the nasolabial folds, (no need to inject Radiesse in them). Does this truly work?
It is very common to see loss of volume in the mid-face as we age. This results in a deflation effect and sagging of the cheek skin with the result being deepening of the nasolabial folds. If you correct the volume loss with a product like Radiesse, this will typically reverse the deflation and descent of the facial tissues and improve the nasolabial fold. Many times patients receive filler in the nasolabial fold, when the real problem is loss of volume in the cheek area. It sounds like your physician is on track with the recommended treatment. If you're not happy with the results, you can always go back and address the nasolabial fold at a later time. When performed properly, Radiesse treatment of the mid-face can have a very rejuvenating affect.
