Question

Hi I’m 24 almost 25.. I attached a photo of me now and a photo few years ago when I was 20.. I looked more childlike.. something looks different my face more longer or etc. how can I get a similar look with before with fillers?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your two photos, it's difficult to pinpoint what has changed. Since you have a wide face, I doubt that injectable fillers would be a good option for you. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for reaching out. It's completely normal to notice changes in your facial structure as you age, even in your early twenties. These changes can be due to various factors including bone structure changes, fat distribution, and skin elasticity.

Non-surgical facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers can help restore a youthful appearance by adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles. Fillers can be used to enhance cheekbones, fill hollow areas, soften the appearance of wrinkles, and more.

However, it's important to note that while fillers can help enhance your features and restore lost volume, they may not completely replicate the exact look you had at a younger age. The goal is not to change your appearance, but to enhance and preserve your natural beauty.

Before proceeding with any treatment, it's crucial to have a thorough consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. They can provide a comprehensive assessment of your facial anatomy and aging pattern and develop a personalized treatment plan that suits your aesthetic goals.

Remember, everyone's face changes over time and it's a part of the natural aging process. It's important to embrace these changes and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine.

Generally, fillers added to the temples, upper cheek, and along the jawline can make the face appear more youthful. Placement depends on each person’s anatomy and desired result.

It looks like your weight is different in each picture, which changes the face as much or more than aging. Therefore, im not sure fillers alone are the right answer.

Kenneth R. Francis, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear genius,
The reason you looked more childlike at 20 is because you were more childlike at 20.  You also appear to have gained a significant amount of weight, which may have impacted the appearance of your face.  Fillers are definitely not the answer since you have full facial volume.
