Sculptra and Radiesse restore volume to the cheeks and mid face. This helps to pull hanging skin folds at the nose and mouth back up in a very satisfying way.

The other fillers are much better at treating the symptoms by filling in lines and wrinkles, but are not actually addressing the cause of the problem in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I like most of the fillers out there and they all have their purpose, but when I get a patient who is willing to listen to my best advice, I fill the mid face first - and they typically end up much happier.
