Mid-face/cheeks drooping. BAD in certain lighting (Photo)

Hello, and thank you for your question. As we age, we lose volume from loss of bone structure, fat pads, muscle mass. To help restore this, dermal filler can be a great option to restore volume in places it has been lost. If you are concerned about your medial cheek/mid-face, I would recommend consulting with a practitioner to determine if dermal filler would be a good option for you.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. I do see the volume loss you are concerned about in your photo. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to this concern by restoring volume to the mid-face. HA dermal fillers restore volume to areas like the midface, providing lift and definition that can turn back the clock on your appearance.

I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in injectables to discuss your concerns and to evaluate your options. They can help determine whether dermal fillers are a good fit for you and explain the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the expected outcome.

This is in fact a VERY COMMON issue and fortunately is quite easily addressed in the hands of an experienced injector via the use of a robust HA volumizing filler. Treatment should not take more than about ten to fifteen minutes and the results typically evoke an immediate "Wow!" reaction after treatment. So no need for despair or loss of confidence. Your job is to make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist and best of luck.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It's a bit hard to be too certain based on the limited photograph you sent, but, you certainly have several options. An implant or injection is an office procedure that takes just minutes. A lift is a little more extensive, but still not too much.

Step one is to address the mid-face/cheek area with filler (such as Juvederm Voluma) to enhance those areas before focusing on the lower face and around the mouth. The results are natural-looking and provide a youthful look. Longevity is approximately a year, but some effects may be seen even longer.

Volume loss is incredibly common, and fortunately, there are several treatments that can safely and effectively treat lost volume in the cheeks. Typically, we recommend dermal fillers, and especially for patients who are seeking more dramatic results, Restylane Contour is an excellent option: formulated with XpresHAn technology, it is designed to restore substantial shape and volume. In fact, this formula was specifically developed (and FDA approved) for cheek augmentation.
We hope this is a helpful starting point! It’s so important to feel confident in your body, and we hope you find the right treatment to get you there. Feel free to visit our website for lots more information on dermal fillers and other rejuvenation treatment options!

Lighting makes a huge difference in how anyones face looks, just ask a photographer. In your case, the use of fillers will provide a more youthful appearance, being careful not to over do it so that it alters who you are.

Volume loss to the mid face is not uncommon. It can occur for a variety of reasons such as genetics, aging, and weight loss. Fillers are a great tool to restore the volume. The wonderful thing about fillers is that you can go slowly and build up to the look you are wanting. See an expert injector near you to learn more.

In the majority of people, the cheeks appear to be drooping, because of a number of reasons, one is weight loss, and the other one is heredity and of course aging. I believe that restoring some of the lost fat in your cheeks will it restore your confidence as well. Fat grafting is a natural process by which, the face can be re-volumized. The process of fat grafting when done properly produces natural and permanent results. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
