I'm 64. I've seen physicians re: volume loss in nasal area/marionette lines. Sagging jowls. Can Scultura or ??? help or is lower lift the only option?
Answer: Injectable Options for Sagging Jowls and Marionette Lines I appreciate your question and I am happy to say that dermal fillers are an excellent nonsurgical option to reverse signs of aging in the lower face. Sculptra works differently than other fillers. This formulation is designed to boost collagen production in the treatment area over time. As collagen levels increase, the area becomes fuller and smoother. While it can take a few months to see the full results of a Sculptra treatment, the improvements can last up to two years. There are other dermal fillers that can be used in the lower face to produce more immediate results. Thicker formulations like Voluma offer quicker improvement that can also last up to two years. You can even combine fillers like Sculptra and Voluma for results now and improvements that last well into the future. Make sure the doctor you choose for your treatment is not only board certified but an expert injector who can ensure your results are both natural and beautiful!

Answer: Sagging jowls Thank you for your question and for providing pictures. Fillers are great for treating volume loss. Sculptra provides a natural-looking appearance that is gradual and long-lasting by replacing collagen, restoring the look of fullness to shallow and deep facial wrinkles and folds. A full treatment consists of 3 injection sessions over the duration of a few months, which can vary per patient. Hopes this helps. All the best!

Answer: Sculptra for Volumizing the Midface Sagging in the lower face can often be attributed to loss of volume in the midface. By restoring volume around the cheeks, we can often minimize the early signs of jowls at the same time. Sculptra is one option for volumizing the midface, but results can take many months to develop. You can consider other types of fillers, such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane Defyne, if you want more immediate improvement. Facial fat grafting is another option if you want improvement that lasts more than a few months. No matter what you choose, make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in nonsurgical facial contouring. This qualified professional can create a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals that should produce an optimal outcome for you.

Answer: Best Treatment to Rejuvenate the Lower Face Thank you for your question. Sculptra is a unique type of filler that works by stimulating additional collagen production. Over time, the treatment area becomes fuller and smoother as the collagen works to support the underlying dermal structure. While the treatment takes time to show results, once they become apparent, they are long lasting. There are other options for restoring volume to the midface and addressing the early signs of skin laxity and jowl formation along the jawline. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess you in person and design the treatment plan that will meet your needs and goals best.

Answer: Injectable Volumizing Fillers Can Yield Immediate "Wow!" Results There is no substitute for an in-person physical examination that allows for palpation and manipulation of the tissues. However, from the photo provided, it does appear that many of your issues can be easily and quickly addressed via the use of injectable volumizing fillers. For example, your jawline jowls and lack of definition (as well as other regions of the face) would profit from the use of injectable volumizing fillers to elevate the cheeks, enhance the posterior angle of the jaw and restore appropriate shape and projection to the chin--three critical areas for framing the face. Addressing the apparent loss in cheek volume will help to lift and support that region and secondarily improve the lower face and jawline. Likewise, restoring volume to the posterior angle of the jaw will help to straighten a sagging jawline. And finally, enhancing chin projection will likewise soften jowl formation by pulling the anterior region forward, as in youth. In my NY office, I would opt for Voluma XC for the cheeks and Restylane Lyft for the posterior jawline and chin. In my Israel facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved injectable volumizers are available, I would opt for Stylage XXL for the cheeks, Restylane Volyme for the posterior jawline and Neauvia Intense Flux for the chin. I stopped injecting Sculptra several years ago, since it does not provide immediate "Wow!" results as do the injectables noted above; it requires a series of about three treatment sessions; and is relatively expensive. Additionally, simple fillers, like ordinary Restylane and Juvederm typically used for fine lines and wrinkles will not do the trick for regions requiring volume and if used will not last long. So, be cautious when these cut-rate products are suggested for the locations where you appear to need them and make sure that you consult and receive treatment by a board certified aesthetic physician. . Best of luck.
