What are other non-surgical ways to add volume to a part of the face aside from fillers?

Question

Laser therapies? Massaging techniques? Facial yoga? RF? Microneedling? Mesotherapy? Acupuncture? Anything but fillers. I want to "lift" and add volume to an area of my face by stimulating my OWN tissue(I know surgery or fillers would be easier but understand that I just CANT.It's not an option) Can I create scar tissue do add volume? Such as by inserting re-inserting microneedles?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You are correct that fillers are a proven, safe way to increase volume of the face.  You may consider Morpheus8 which combines microneedling and RF technology.  Though it doesn't add volume, it does improve overall skin tone and texture.

Kally Papantoniou, MD, FAAD · Answer

it is hard to advise which would suit you best without a photo, but the Instalift which uses dissolvable sutures to lift and volumize can offer dramatic results. The dissolvable sutures also stimulate your skin to make its own collagen and provides lasting results for approximately 2 years. The Thermitight and Ulthera are 2 other great methods for achieving skin tightening and facial contouring, and I will choose the best option depending on the needs of the patient. Best, Dr. P.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Alternative treatments that may give you results that you are interested in include fat grafting and facial implants that can add volume and shape, while chemical peels can help tighten and improve skin texture.  Hope this helps.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

The only way to add any significant volume to the face would be by either using fat transfer, injectable fillers or injectable collagen stimulating agents such as Sculptra or Bellafill.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Besides fillers, you can try Sculptra for collagen building, implants or fat in order to create volume, contour and definition and lift. Radiofrequency treatments and ultherapy could be used for skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation to discuss your desired results and best options. Best, Dr. Emer
