Safest filler for cheeks?

Question

I react I hyaluronic acid fillers, systemic lettuce reactions and inflammation. I'm researching fat grafting but it looks like it's very inconsistent and inflammatory. Sculptra and Radiesse lo look inflammatory. Is there my thing I can use?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill, Contour) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi Lindalou,

Not sure what you mean by systemic "lettuce" reactions.  Do you mean systemic lupus?  Fat grafting is unpredictable.  We do not recommend Sculptra in patients with lupus.  Radiesse may be the answer for you.  Feel free to contact our office (818) 501-3223, happy to consult with you at your convenience. Good luck and be well.
