Scupltra vs. Fat Grafting
Fat Grafting and Sculptra are the two most common large volume fillers in my San Diego practice. If a patient is already asleep for a bigger procedure (facelift for example) and has some good deposits of fat, we generally will use fat grafting.

Sculptra or fat transfer are the best options for facial volumization
In my opinion, Sculptra is the ideal agent to give volume to the face. It is a natural product that can give long lasting correction in areas that need volume in one's face to include cheeks, temple areas, jawline as well as other areas on the body. The correction can last two or more years. Sculptra induces new collagen growth which makes it a very natural and safe process.

Silikon-1000 may be used, only by experienced physicians, to treat facial lipoatrophy.
My personal experience with Silikon-1000 has been favorable for the treatment of facial lipoatrophy. It is imperative you find a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced in the serial puncture, microdroplet technique.
Several treatments are typically necessary for complete correction. There is typically no downtime, and your results are permanent.
I've attached a photo demonstrating this application of Silikon-1000.
I hope this is helpful for you....
