Teosyal or Juvederm

Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: Teosyal or Juvederm for restoring cheek volume?

I would like to go get injectable fillers to restore the volume of my cheeks, and the doctor recommended me Teosyal or Juvederm. I'm not sure which to pick; any recommendation? I do have a slight asymmetry with my jawline, but when injecting fillers on my cheeks as long as they are the same amount, my cheeks should look even, right? I don't want to end up having lopsided cheeks. Please let me know if there are any specific questions that I should be asking my doctor before getting the injection.

Teosyal or Juvederm are both hyaluronic fillers; either would probably be fine although I am not familiar with Teosyal as it is not approved for use in the US at this time.  If you go with Juvederm, you should use Juvederm Ultra Plus (thicker than the Ultra product) for the cheeks.  Radiesse is a nice filler for the cheeks as well; it may last longer than the hyaluronic acid fillers, and can give a beautiful result.  The drawback with Radiesse though is if you do not like the result, there is no way to dissolve the material (you would need to wait until it resolves on its own).

Good luck.
