Will Sculptra help cheekbone and jawline definition? (Photos)

Question

I feel like my face is very downward facing and makes me look angry and unapproachable sometimes. Can sculptra give me more prominent cheekbones, jawline, and a more rejuvenated look? I’ve had filler before and has migrated so am afraid to go back to that.

Hello and thank you for your question! Sculptra can be a great option for you, especially if you’re concerned about filler migration. It stimulates your body’s own collagen over time, helping to naturally restore volume, enhance cheekbones, define the jawline, and subtly lift the face for a more refreshed look.
To address the “angry” or downward expression, we can also use a small amount of Botox in the DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) muscle. These muscles pull the corners of the mouth down, and relaxing them can help lift your expression and make you appear more approachable.
Together, Sculptra and DAO Botox offer a natural-looking, long-term solution for facial rejuvenation without the heaviness or migration risks of traditional filler.
Best of luck!

Sculptra can be a beneficial option for enhancing cheekbone and jawline definition, providing a more rejuvenated and balanced facial appearance. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production over time, leading to gradual volumization and contouring. Here’s how it might help:

Cheekbone Enhancement: By promoting collagen production, Sculptra can subtly enhance the cheekbones, providing a lifted and more defined appearance without the risk of migration associated with some fillers.

Jawline Definition: Sculptra can also improve jawline definition by adding volume and structure gradually, leading to a more sculpted look.

Overall Rejuvenation: The collagen-building effects of Sculptra can help improve skin texture and firmness, contributing to a more youthful and approachable appearance.

Since you have concerns about filler migration, Sculptra could be a suitable alternative due to its mechanism of action and gradual, natural-looking results. It’s important to have a detailed consultation with a skilled injector who has experience with Sculptra to ensure it aligns with your aesthetic goals and to discuss any potential risks or considerations.

Sculptra is a great product however it works by stimulating your body to create its own collagen. It can add volume in hollow areas and improve skin quality. However to get a more chiseled defined looked we would still recommend a filler. 
If an HA filler is the one that migrated you may want to try a Calcium hyroxylapatite which provides volume and stimulates collagen over time.

Hope that helps.
Good luck from
