Sculptra For Cheek Lines

These lines are typically not as successfully relaxed with neuromodulators, as they are due from volume loss in the lateral cheek fat pad. I do use Sculptra commonly to volumize the cheeks, with great success in softening the resulting lines that form along the cheeks. Good luck!

Treatment for lid-cheek transition/nasojugal groove

It sounds like you are describing the "tear trough" area (nasojugal groove). Since the skin here can be quite thin, Sculptra is not a great option for treating this area. Restylane and Belotero (hyaluronic acids) work very well for softening this transition area.

Sculpra also works well, but works the best when there is something to stimulate, so a fuller face stimulates better than a really... more

Treatments for lines from eyes to cheeks.

If your main concern are the lines themselves, then it's possible that Botox could help or using a superficial filler like Belotero. Laser resurfacing can also help with superficial lines. If you have some cheek hollowness, then a filler like Sculptra can help with that. If the lines you have cross over into the hollow area, then sometimes improving the hollow area can lead to some improvement in the lines there as the area inflates. There is not a single correct... more

LINES - LASERS OR BOTOX FAT AND FOUNDATION -FILLERS

You are looking in the wrong direction. Surface lines respond poorly to fillers. The filler just lifts the wrinkle. You usually need something to either quiet the wrinkle (Botox) or iron it out (Lasers usually fractional now) Dr. Mayl Fort Lauderdale
