Radiesse to Widen a Thin, Long Face?

Radiesse can build up volume.  It is not my typical first choice for this though -  Sculptra is -  but it can provide a nice amount of improvement.  Seeing more photos would be very important to evaluate your situation.

Radiesse works well for contouring the face and would give you some increased volome. I think that you should also consider sculptra as that is another way of replacing a reasonable amount of volume. Just depends on how much you want added and how quickly. 

Nonsurgical cheek augmentation is an excellent way to widen, contour, and round the shape of the face. Radiesse is a wonderful and relatively long-lasting material for this purpose. Juvederm UltraXC is another volumizing agent, and I have found these two agents, especially when combined and layered and molded into place, to be excellent for this purpose. Since there is very little movement of the cheeks, relatively speaking, the results of a nonsurgical cheek augmentation may last for an extended period of time. I have had patients who have gone more than three years before requiring a touch up. 

An enormous advantage of a nonsurgical cheek augmentation is that it is adjustable with time. As our face ages, there are changes in both location and amounts of the fatty compartments of our face that give it its volume and contour. Injectable semipermanent materials, such as Radiesse and Juvederm, are metabolized gradually by the body's natural enzymes. This means that going forward through the years, the physician may add and precisely adjust the placement of the materials where they are needed to keep the face looking youthful. Volumizers permit the adjustment of cheek contouring to the needs of the moment, unlike surgery where the possibility exists that what might look good today may not look so good in five years when the face has changed with age.
