36 years old. Noticed volume loss the last 2 years (texture/tone of skin is also not the best). Undereyes seem more hollow & nasio labial areas seem more pronounced (from sagging cheeks) with the beginnings of faint smiles lines, & faint marionette lines. Corners of mouth seem to droop from beginnings of sagging cheeks. I have been given 2 opinion: 2 syringes of Restylane Lyft in cheeks OR 1 syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC along w/a PRP Lift & PRP Facial, w/SkinPen Microneedling.

Answer: Fillers and PRP HI, you might benefit from a little Botox® to your chin and to the DAO's which are the muscles that cause the angles of your mouth to droop. This will decrease the dimpling on the skin over the chin and raise up the corners of your mouth. Possibly follow this with small amount of filler to the chin so that it fills a deficit there and evens out your lower face. For the cheeks, you would only need a small amount of filler (Voluma, Restylane) anteriorly to fill in the deficit and soften the nasolabial folds. Be careful not to use too much filler since you have good structure of the cheeks laterally and over filling these could lead to a "chipmunk" effect. Choose an experienced injector with a good eye for aesthetics. Best, Dr.A.

Answer: Fillers & PRP Don't waste your time mixing PRP and fillers. Whoever is offering this does not understand the difference between fillers (Juverderm and Restylane are different and have different physical properties). In your case Lyft would be much better but there are even better options for you like Radiesse and Bellafill. The use of PRP is not fully supported by good studies so it may not help you. See link below for examples.
