For under eyes , cheeks and smile lines

Shady Hayek, MD · Answer

PRP is not a good filler. It is mostly used for skin rejuvenation and treatment of discolorations. It can sometimes help in treating acne scars. On the other hand,  fillers are used for volume restoration although sometimes they may give some rejuvenation as a secondary effect.best, Shady Hayek, M.D. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Beirut, Lebanon

Hi ABCD012,In my view, the only true form of PRP that can somehow be used as filler is the substance produced from denaturing plasma protein by heat. This substance is a whitish gel that works pretty mike collagen, however, since it has a very short lifespan once injected to the tissue, that's why it's not popular.The currently popular Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is mainly used for mesotherapy for rejuvenation, and it doesn't work as filler, in a way that fillers can give volume.

PRP or plasma injections are where blood is taken from you, it is processed in a special manner, and it is reinjected into places you desire, such as those you have noted. While I've seen great things with PRP, I have seen too many issues to like it very much. I think HA fillers are better tolerated with more consistent results. Also, for most patients the process of getting these fillers are much simpler than PRP. Find a reputable physician injector in your area to discuss options."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
