Tear trough or cheek filler?

fillers should be used in the cheeks to lift and then layered with the under eyes. I suggest consulting.

most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift.  an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done.

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:
1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma.

 See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The cheeks serve as a support and buttressing for the under eye region, and loss of volume in the cheeks, therefore, is often the primary reason for the development of tear trough hollows. Accordingly, simply restoring appropriate volume to the cheeks not only helps to reestablish a more heart-shaped face, but diminishes the tear troughs and creates a smoother transition between the upper cheeks and the under eye region, often without any need to directly treat the tear troughs. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and of course ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.
