I went in with a considerable loss of volume in my cheeks just from aging.(I am 45 and )Along with the cheek volume loss, it caused my nasolabial folds to be more pronounced and I had considerable crinkling under my eyes where the cheeks meet the tear trough area. This had made my face looked dragged down and I felt I looked so much older.
Dr. Mabrie used a combination of radiesse for the cheek and nasolabial folds and did the restaylane in the tear trough area. I was so pleased!!

Great review?
My Doctor: David Mabrie, MD
My rating:
By reading all of his responses to questions on Real Self and reading reviews online from current clients besides watching his videos using the cannula technique for the tear trough area. Dr. Mabrie is amazing. He has such an eye for what looks natural, in proportion and attractive in a face.
I have low weight and fair skin too. I didn't realize that predisposed us to early signs of aging - ugh!
I'm so glad to hear that things turned out so well for you!! Do you feel the cheeks look a little more defined than you naturally had, or are they pretty much just returned to exactly how you were 5 years ago?
That is a good balance to strike! Glad you have found an injector you trust - so important! :)
