Hello everyone I am a 30 y/o. I have had a very youthful face until and dentistry procedure left me with tmj and trigeminal neuralgia. Due to this conditions and stress my face drooped literally over night… I have a fat lose on the side of my chins and my nasolabial folds got so prominent. So due to my situation I have fear fom needles and fillers. I am scared to iritate the nerve even more . Also my immune systems is not quite good cuz of the chronic stress and pain. So would you doctors have any advice? Should I get the filler or am I not a candidate? Is there any alternative way to add volume to area instead of filler and fat transfer. I am scared for the filler to add pressure on the nerves or a needle poking the nerve endings and iritate it even more .. also i wonder if in my case where a significant amount of fat is lost, am I more prone to occlusion since I don’t have much dept for injection… im terrified but also want to bring back my youthful face … Thanks in advance!

Yes, fillers can be helpful for addressing early signs of aging in the lower face. In your late 30s, volume loss and changes in facial structure can create shadows or folds that make the face appear older, even with good skin quality.
Strategic filler placement in areas like the chin, jawline,...
Filler injections with hyaluronic acid placed under the eye with precision may be the best, if not the only, solution to correct under eye volume loss. Over time, you may also want to consider tightening the skin with modalities like IPL and Morpheus to maintain your results.
