Radiesse and Making a Fatter, Rounder Face

Radiesse can be injected at different points in the face to help plump the look of the face. If you are looking for significant volume you may want to consider facial fat grafting. Kenneth Hughes, MD facial fat grafting Los Angeles, CA

Rounding the Face

It's hard to tell exactly what you're looking for especially without pictures, but it sounds like what you're describing may be a "skinny" face. There are two options here: one, you could explore the use of Sculptra to create more volume over time. Two, you could use Radiesse or other fillers to pinpoint areas on the face that would help you look more youthful, such as the cheeks and nasolabial folds. See a physician in person to discuss more in detail. Best of luck!

A rounded face is more youthful than a long and narrow face. Sculptra is your best choice

You hit the nail on the head. As we age your fat pads, bones, jaw, and muscles in the face all atrophy. This creates a longer and skinnier face which ages us. To recreate the more rounded appearance of a youthful face, fillers are the answer. Sculptra is great for this because it is a long last volumizer, which can be injected in multiple areas such as the temples, preauricular area, upper and lower cheek, jawline, and marionette area. I can't be used too close... more

I Want my Face to Look Fatter and Rounder. It's Long and Skinny, What Can I Do?

Photos would help in the evaluation but aesthetically, the face appears long, drawn and rectangular when the cheeks are flat. Augmenting the cheeks with fillers (I prefer Perlane to Radiesse as it molds and flows better IMO) or cheek implants will change the shape to a more aesthetically pleasing one if the proper aesthetics of facial beauty are understood and followed. here's a link to demonstrate filler injections to the cheeks. Hope this helps. see video

Sculptra would be my recommendation

Sculptra is a fantastic option and will give you long-lasting results. The Sculptra beads dissolve over a 2 year period of time stimulating deposition of your own collagen. After the beads are gone you are left with a thick blanket of your own natural collagen that will last for years after. You can continue to add to the treatment as you desire. It is one of my favorite fillers.

Can filler be used to widen and narrow and long face?

Yes. Both Radiesse and Sculptra and very helpful for adding volume to the midface, temples and jawline. For a long and thin face, this can provide more width and balance to the face. Another option for the midface would be cheek implants to permanently add volume to the cheeks. This is obviously generic advice and you would need to submit photos or present for a consultation to figure out what would really be helpful for your specific concerns.
