Answer: How to replace lost volume in face after working out Dear Mychaelp,There are different options depending on the location of the fat lossFor overall fat loss, Sculptra is great because there is minimal to no downtime, and results can last 2+ yearsJuvederm, restylane, and Radiesse are also really great, but you if need large volumes, Sculptra would be better (or fat transfer)When you are ready, please see a facial expert who treats these issues both surgically and non surgically so you can go over all of your optionsBest regards, Dr. Nima Member, American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Board Certified in Head and Neck Surgery

Answer: Fillers are a good way to combat volume loss in cheeks If you have lost volume in your face due to weight loss, there are options available to help you restore fullness. Some of the most popular ways to regain lost volume in the cheeks are dermal fillers such as Voluma or Sculptra. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid gel filler that adds immediate volume, while Sculptra works to stimulate collagen production in your skin, leading to long-lasting results. Fat transfer is another viable option. I recommend having an in-person consultation and evaluation with a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon to come up with a good treatment plan.
