Hi Tanner. We use several different products in the cheeks to add back volume where it has been lost. Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and Sculptra are all products we use in the cheeks. We prefer to use thick products like Perlane and Radiesse for immediate volume and longer term collagen stimulation with Sculptra (takes 6-9 months for full results, but lasts up to 2 years).We normally only use Restylane when a patient is combining the cheeks with other areas like the lips or tear trough (under the eyes).Hope this helps.
There are many products that can replace facial volume loss. Fillers, particularly the hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm/Perlane/Voluma, work well to replace volume. Since you are young you should get nice volume replacement with less filler. I have found Sculptra to work very well for overall volume replacement and it is effective in treating the "flat" area in front of your ear. Sculptra is a volumizer, not a filler, and works by inducing your skin to produce more of its own collagen. The results are very natural and last over 2 years. You have many options but make sure you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is very experienced in these injectables. Best wishes.
