What would be the best nonsurgical procedures to address facial hollowing and sagging? (Photos)

Question

I turn 45 next month. I have noticed hollowing of my temples/cheeks/eyes & deepening of my NL folds & jaw wrinkles/lines. I look tired/harsh & I want to look refreshed. I am open to lasers, microneedling w/PRP, RF, liquid facelift, etc. I am scared of fillers bc of risks, pillow face, etc. Someone recommended sculptra to me & I just don't know much. I use dysport for forehead, 11s & crow's feet. Use tret micro .06% nightly for 11 mos.

Sculptra (Poly-L-lactic acid) is a biostimulatory agent that builds collagen over time. The reasons we love Sculptra are the long lasting, natural, and more youthful look that it produces. You are a great candidate for this treatment and would recommend having a consultation with an experienced Sculptra provider.

Practically every individual on this planet loses volume in the face as they get older. The volume loss consists of fat as well as muscle. My preferred method for facial rejuvenation is through fat grafting. In my hands fat grafting produces extremely natural and practically permanent results making the individual look at least 15 to 20 years younger. We start by looking at the photographs of the patient from the time when they were anywhere between 16 and 25 years of age. We look at photographs where there is no grimacing of any kind and we use photographs from every angle available to us. We try to restore the same proportions of the individual on hand or change things that the patient did not like about themselves when they were younger.  Many patients who have had the procedure done 25 years ago look better today than they did prior to their grafting procedure. The procedure of fat grafting is completely scarless and practically without any complications except for some swelling which can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to completely disappear. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
