How long before going back to my baseline appearance with Sculptra/Radiesse?

HelpNeeded22May 5, 2017
How long will it take for three rounds of Radiesse and two rounds of Sculptra to the jawline/chin before I go back to my base appearance? A vial each was used each time. I had these done two months apart between the ages of 27-28 by an inexperienced surgeon who told me they were dissolvable. My face shape has been altered so dramatically that I'm beyond depressed. Thank you.

I use Radiesse in this area and find that it does a great job.  It can't be dissolved like the other fillers but it's consistency allows for good volumization and is long lasting.  Best of luck!

This is difficult to determine from your picture and needs an in-person evaluation and if necessary, treatment. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Radiesse comes with or without lidocaine.  Sculptra is another product that could be used without lidocaine and I believe some of the Restylane products can still be purchased without lidocaine.

My recommendation for you would be to have malar (cheek) implants to give you more prominent cheek bones.  Fillers, such as Radiesse could be used but I think the implants would give more prominence.  I would not recommend buccal fat removal.
