Teosyal or Juvederm for Restoring Cheek Volume?
I would like to go get injectable fillers to restore the volume of my cheeks, and the doctor recommended me Teosyal or Juvederm. I'm not sure which to pick; any recommendation? I do have a slight asymmetry with my jawline, but when injecting fillers on my cheeks as long as they are the same amount, my cheeks should look even, right? I don't want to end up having lopsided cheeks. Please let me know if there are any specific questions that I should be asking my doctor before getting the injection.

Juvederm and Teosyal are similar in more ways than one
The history with these two products is very interesting. One of the key founders of the French company that made Juvederm before it was taken over by Allergan had a fall out with the board. That person founded Teoxane, the company that made Teosyal. When I moved from California to Dubai, it was eerily strange how the syringes of both products were the exact same thing, even the packaging with two syringes in one box was the same.

Teosyal or Juvederm

Radiesse is a nice filler for the cheeks as well; it may last longer than the hyaluronic acid fillers, and can give a beautiful result. The drawback with Radiesse though is if you do not like the result, there...

Juvederm or Teosyl for Facial Volume Restoration
Hi PP,
Juvederm has a longer track record of effectiveness and safety. I am unable to comment on Teosyal as it has not been approved for use in the US yet, and I have not had any experience with it.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is excellent filler for facial volume. If you are having the delicate lower eye lid included in your treatment, you might ask for Restylane in that area (less likely to swell).
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
