I just turned 30 this year, but my fleshy cheeks are sagging causing the Nasolabial fold. My doctor advised permanent filler, but i am concern about the risks.

If you do not want a permanent filler, I would advise Radiesse as the best option. This filler will last around 12-18 months Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyapatite particles suspended in a gel.

Facial fat dissolving injection

It is a terrible idea to remove fat from the face. Losing facial fat will make some one look older. Look at children, their faces are round and full so clearly it is a key to youth. Facial aging generally involves fat atrophy and descent. The descended fat should be repositioned not removed. The idea of using a fat dissolving agent in the face is not a good idea under almost any normal circumstance such as yours.

Sagging cheeks at age 30

It is best to only correct the nasolabial folds with a filler substance such as Restylane or Juvederm. This is the best material for patient safety and we do not recommend anything permanent other than fascia grafts, which are usually performed at the same time as the facelift.
