What are other options for me and benefits to those alternatives? A cheek implant or mid face correction? I'm 47....
Answer: Fillers, such as Juvederm VOLUMA XC for flat cheeks Fillers such as Juvederm Voluma XC are a great option for flat cheeks. Juvederm Voluma XC is the first and only HA fillers FDA approved for Midface lifting. Even though the injections are in the mid face, studies show that patients see the results in their nasolabial lines and tear trough areas as well. However, if more correction is needed, additional injections with Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is also a good choice for the nasolabial folds. One must balance the amount of filler with the desired correction to maintain a natural look so the patient does not appear "over filled."Good Luck.

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Voluma for Improving Flat Cheeks Thank you for your question.Voluma is excellent for volumizing the cheeks. It also has the added benefit of a slight lift, improving the nasaloabial folds.

Answer: Fillers vs. Implants for Cheek Augmentation Thank you for the great question and the photo. An in-person exam of your facial structure and elasticity is needed to make the best recommendation, but fillers and cheek implants are great options. For fillers, I use Radiesse or Voluma in this area. These fillers are longer-lasting and specifically designed for volumization. They are placed deeper, along the bone, and lift the soft tissues to give a more youthful, full face. Cheek implants do the same thing, but are permanent (i.e., don't require repeated injections). These are more cost-effective over time, and may be removed at a later date if you decide to do so. A final option is a midface lift, with or without a lower eyelid lift. This treatment has the most to offer, but also has the longest recovery time and largest expense. Please visit with a couple board-certified surgeons before making your decision. Best of luck!

Answer: Fillers placed in the cheeks, especially the newest, Voluma can help the nasolabial folds Voluma is FDA approved for mid-face filling. It is the first filler approved for this specific purpose. As a matter of fact, in the FDA study, a significant number of patients that had Voluma in only the cheeks felt their Nasolabial folds and even under-eyes looked better. I often combine Voluma in the cheeks with Juvederm in the nasolabial folds as well.
