Ultherapy, Sculptra, and Volbella for facial asymmetry and volume loss? 30 year old skinny female (Photo)

Question

(30 YO, skinny female) My concerns are prominent nasolabial folds due to volume loss/facial structure, volume loss under my eyes, volume loss in temples/cheeks, facial asymmetry (eyebrows and jaw), line above asymmetric eyebrow, and thinning/aging lips. A plastic surgeon recommended ultherapy (1 treatment), sculptra (3 vials spaced over 3 treatments), and volbella (1 syringe). Will this really be sufficient to address my concerns? Or should I be considering other/additional treatments?

Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS · Answer

The plan you have sounds like a good start. Combination treatments always work best when addressing several concerns. However, this will be an ongoing process which will need lifelong maintenance. Best wishes.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, a combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The nice thing about nonsurgical aesthetic medical procedures is that you can try new thing and they wear off, or you can start with a little bit and more on to more-all on your own timing!

Jennifer Levine, MD · Answer

In our practice, we use combination treatments quite often as we find them to be most effective. Ultherapy lifts and tightens by activating the natural production of collagen. It will help both lift and plump your skin naturally over time. The fillers will give more immediate results for refilling volume as a compliment to Ultherapy.Good luck!

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

Hi and thank you for your question! We offer all of the above at our practice! I agree that volume replacement would be a great idea, this can be achieved with traditional fillers and/or sculptra. I have several patients who do both, who have similar concerns and goals. As far as Ultherapy, that would be recommended if there is skin laxity or tightening desired, hard to see without different angles and so we can see the neck and jawline. You could also consider laser or needling procedure to stimulate collagen, brighten, even tone and texture. Come in for a complementary consultation! Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
