Radiesse Vs. Sculptra for Droopy Mouth and Chin?

Hi. I am 40 years old and started getting a droopy mouth and loss of volume in my chin area below the outer part of lips. Is it best to get Radiesse or Sculptra to fill out these areas? Thank you.

Both are good options

Radiesse might be better if you want a more immediate improvement as Sculptra takes a while to make the body produce more collagen as a response to its insertion. You would need more than one treatment with Sculptra probably, several weeks apart, but probably only one treatment with Radiesse.

For droppy mouth I would recommend evolence or a thicker hyuronic acid filler

FOr the corners ot the mouth droop, I would recommend evolence. It is a long lasting collagen filler. It is firmer and gives nice support to the corners ot the mouth. to enhance the projection of the chin, a so-called non-surigical chin lift I would use radiesse. Sculptra would not be my personnel choice for filling around the mouth and chin, due to the possiblitiy of sculptra nodules or granulomas.

Radiesse vs. Sculptra for droopy mouth and chin

You might want to consider Juvederm Ultra plus or Perlane for the areas you are describing.  If I had to choose between Radiesse vs. Sculptra, I would suggest Radiesse. Good luck.
