I am 52 years old. I have been using Restylane for the folds around my mouth and nose.I have had some improvement. However, I notice that my skin is sagging (of course at my age.) I have lost some weight. If I pull my cheeks back slightly, my folds and sagging improve. Can the volume be replaced in one's face? Would Radiesse be a good product for this as it helps the body produce its own collagen? I have a long face, which does not help this matter.

Radiesse for volume in the cheeks

It is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin beside the mouth, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse and/or Sculptra. They are injected more deeply, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume to create a much better lifting effect for sagging skin. They work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen,... more

Volume restoration in the cheeks

Radiesse has helped many people with your issue. It is an immediate filler. When mixed with anesthetic it is not a painful treatment, usually.

Radiesse for cheek volume

You have picked up on one of the most important concepts in facelifting - it is volume loss, not skin sagging that causes the most changes. By restoring volume to the cheeks and midface, the cheeks will be lifted, the nasolabial lines will diminish, and the jowls will decrease. Radiesse (or Sculptra) is a good option for restoring volume. I have been using both products extensively sinceand have been very pleasd with the results. I have also been injecting Radiesse through and intra-oral... more

Midface Radiesse

Good question. A major component of midface sagging, contributing to the folds around your mouth and nose (nasolabial fold) is loss of facial volume/fat as one ages. By filling up the midface area with own's fat or other product, the folds can improve. Radiesse is actually a good option for the midface area and lasts longer than restylane. Good luck.
