I would like to add sculptra to my cheeks, to give my mid-face a lift. I also have some under eye hollowing I would like to conceal. My issue is while I am not smiling my cheeks appear to be very flat, although when I am smiling I look very cheeky. I don't know why this is. If I add more volume won't I look swollen? Maybe the sculptra can be placed somewhere else to lift cheeks?

Answer: Sculptra In the Face For Shaping Sculptra is great as a foundation to keep the face lifting and healthy looking. I have all my young patients do a vial a year along with skin care, lasers and other immediate fillers to keep a preventative effect and excellent contours. I suggest going to an expert for this as sculptra results cannot be reversed. I often use cannulas to prevent bruising and swelling and you should go to someone who uses this technique to avoid complications. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Sculptra for fuller cheeks Sculptra is a great cheek filler because it lasts a long time and you get the effect of fullness over several months. The extra volume can give a modest cheek lift. Most people undergo 2-4 treatments. Your cheeks will always look fuller when you smile. Sculptra is not a good under-eye filler- for this area your doctor will suggest other options such as Restylane. You should talk about your concerns in a consultation, especially the fact that you don't want your cheeks to be too large. See my link below for examples of cheek filler results and how it can simulate a lift.
