I decided to get Sculptra treatments to create a more angled, masculine jawline as sort of very, preliminary 'try out' before thinking of jaw augmentation down the line. While the volume and width are very good after seven months and three treatments, is there any other filler (short of augmentation) that may more of a sharp, angled contour to the haw as opposed to a slight of amount of a bloat from Scupltra? Would I have to wait until the current Sculptra effect dissipates?
Answer: Sculptra or Radiesse expert in Los Angeles In my practice, I use a combination approach on the jawline that includes chemical peels for skin texture, Ulthera for jawline and jowl tightness, Ematrix for skin tightening, and Sculptra or Radiesse for volume definition. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Sculptra, Radiesse, Restylane.....what's best for a good jawline? In the adult aging face, due to several factors, we lose definition of the jawline. The jowls descend, the skin relaxes, bone shrinks, muscles thin and other discouraging changes occur. Use of injectable fillers has been very successful in helping improve the lower face structure. By placing small volumes of filler under the skin, along the jawline, the illusion of more boney structure is achieved, similar to sculpting. So the injecting physician is the 'artist' relying on his/her aesthetic perspective as well as technical skills. This is the most important factor. The type of filler used is secondary. In other words, Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, etc can all be used for an immediate effect, and Sculptra can be used for a more gradual yet possibly longer lasting effect. It is the injector rather than the material which is most important. It is best to discuss the pros and cons of these choices (including costs) with your physician, who hopefully is artistically gifted!

Answer: Radiesse & Voluma Work Well For Sculpting A Masculine Jawline I am not a fan of Sculptra, and in fact stopped using it several years back, since it is relatively expensive, takes about three treatment sessions, and requires several months of waiting before any results are seen. By contrast, Radiesse combined with Voluma (my volumizers of choice for this purpose in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice) are less expensive, provide immediate and relatively long-lasting results--between 1.5 to 2 years--typically after just one treatment session. Fortunately, there is no problem in adding these products at this point after prior Sculptra treatment. (In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency fillers and volumizers are available, I generally opt for Teosyal Deep and Emervel Volume for this indication.)

Answer: Male Facial/Jawline Contouring -- Avoid Implants, Get Bellafill or Radiesse with Sculptra By Cannula Injection I suggest you go to a facial contouring expert who specializes in fillers and fat transfer for male facial defining. I tend to avoid HA fillers like Voluma in this area because they dont typically last or give the best structure for males. Cannula injections limit side effects and give meticulous contouring. I have patients travel from all over the world for this. Do not compromise your care for cost or distance. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Sculptra, Radiesse or Voluma for jawline? Sculptra, Radiesse and Voluma could all potentially help to improve the jawline, but I would say that Radiesse is the firmest of these so could provide a bit more projection along the jaw. You would not need to wait for the effect of the Sculptra to dissipate before having Radiesse.
