I had Botox in my lower face six months ago, and since then, my skin seems to have drooped forward. I’ve already had a syringe of filler in each cheek to help, but it hasn’t been enough. I’m only 36 and not ready for a facelift—could more filler fix this, or are there other options?
Answer: Skin laxity You may want to explore Morpheus8. This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. Three sessions are typically recommended for optimal results. Morpheus8 can be combined with other treatments such as Botox and fillers. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Dermal Filler Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. It's understandable that you're concerned about the drooping you've noticed in your lower face following Botox injections and that the cheek filler hasn't provided the desired lift. Botox in the lower face, while sometimes used to address specific concerns like a gummy smile or downturned mouth corners, can, in some individuals, weaken the muscles that provide support to the lower facial tissues. This weakening can potentially contribute to a feeling of heaviness or drooping, especially if there was already some degree of underlying laxity. While you've tried addressing this with cheek filler, which can help restore midface volume and indirectly provide some lift, it might not be sufficient to counteract the muscle relaxation effect and the resulting tissue descent. At 36, wanting to avoid a facelift is a common sentiment, and there are indeed other options to consider. More filler could potentially provide additional lift and support in the cheeks and even along the jawline to help redefine the contour and address the perceived drooping. However, it's crucial to have a thorough assessment to determine if further filler is the most appropriate and sustainable solution. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: Treating facial drooping The reason people notice more drooping in the face is because they simply lose volume, which is represented in terms of mostly fat and some muscle bulk. The single best way to restore the youthful appearance of the face such as yours is with the use of fat transfer. Fat grafting in the right hands( plastic surgeon) produces natural and permanent results. at the same time, you should look at least 15 to 20 years younger but exactly like yourself. I hope this helps and good luck from Organic Plastic Surgery Nyc.
