I already got two syringes of Radiesse on my mid face area. I was happy with the result, although, it just last four months. There was absolutely no visible difference on my mid face after few months. I am planning to use long-term fillers now. Which treatment do you recommend for me?

Answer: Long term filler Thank you for your question and posting your picture. I personally have had Bellafill (formerly Artefill) and after 8 years I have not had a significant decline in volume. Due to the cost differences, we tend to inject more Sculptra than Bellafill. Each vial of Sculptra will generate approximately 5 cc of volume versus a 0.8 cc syringe of Bellafill. The results of Sculptra will generally last 2 years or more but will likely require 2 to 3 sets of injections to reach your endpoint. I generally take a step wise approach with Bellafill as well to avoid over correction. It is best to discuss your options with your injector to get their perspective based on price and longevity.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Answer: Fillers for nasolabial folds You have multiple options depending on your comfort level of invasive procedures. From collagen building fillers such as Bellafill to fat transfer and implants all are good options. There is another option to consider that has been very successful in my practice using a technique of combining Platelet Rich Plasma and a collagen stimulating filler. This combination can be placed along the folds you want to correct which allows for more long term effects with less invasive approach. Something to think about. Either way, seek a provider that has experience in this type of technique.
