Hi, I am 34 years old and recently lost around 10lbs. My face aged a lot in this process and I'm now looking for a solution. I've had 3 vials of sculptra injected and I don't see any difference. What are other, better and more effective options to restore the fat in the lower cheeks? Thank you
Answer: Cheek Volume It's understandable that you're looking for more effective solutions to restore the lost volume in your lower cheeks. While Sculptra is a popular option for collagen stimulation, results can take several months to become noticeable and may not provide the immediate fullness you’re seeking. Here are some alternative options that may give you more noticeable and faster results:

Answer: Chubby Cheeks Thank you for your question Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma(,plasma pen, microneedling/PRP) and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Loss of facial volume after weight loss Thank you for your question and congratulations on your weight loss. Sculptra is a good choice for this area, but results are very gradual. If you continue to lose weight, you may see even less improvement as additional volume loss can occur. Another option might be a hyaluronic filler like Voluma, that is designed to add volume to areas like the midface. Facial fat grafting is a third choice and the one that will last the longest. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training in fillers and fat grafting. Through an in-person consultation, your doctor can create a customized treatment plan to meet your needs and goals best.

Answer: Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Volumizing Fillers For Cheeks Typically Result In An Immediate "Wow!" Reaction Injectable hyaluronic acid-based volumizing fillers, such as Voluma XC, Stylage XXL and Neauvia Intense Flux work well for re-volumizing and recontouring the lower cheeks and jawline. The results are seen at the time of treatment and typically engender an immediate "Wow!" reaction. I personally gave up using Sculptra quite a few years ago for a number of reasons, some of which are suggested by your question. The results are quite gradual and typically three treatment sessions, as in your case, are required to achieve the desired improvement, and the treatments are relatively expensive. If sufficient time has not passed since your last treatment session, it would be prudent to wait to see if you get any additional improvement. If after a few weeks, however, there is no change or insufficient improvement, you would be wise to consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and be sure to ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Finally, be cautious if offered fat injections for a number of reasons. First, they tend to be a relatively expensive proposition. Secondly, it is a two step minimally invasive process, where the fat is drawn from the tummy, hips or thighs and then reinjected with larger cannulas into the face. Thirdly, the fat once separated from its original blood supply often does not last as long as promised. And finally, whatever fat does survive retains the characteristics of the location from which it was drawn. Meaning that with aging, if your belly fat was meant to expand, the fat now in the face from the belly is likely to expand, as well. Best of luck to you.
