Would it be possible to use body fillers to restore face volume?

Question

Would it be possible to use body fillers to restore face volumes like jaw line, chin and cheeks? Brands such as HYAcorp body contouring?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. There are a wide variety of reliable facial fillers that are generally used to restore volume to the face. Hyaluronic acid filler can effectively improve facial symmetry and volumize shallow contours in the cheeks, chin, and along the jawline to provide a supple, rejuvenated result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to determine if facial fillers are right for you, and suggest the best formula and dosage that will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Hello, thanks for your question. To answer you must send a photo. After an in-person exam, a specializing esthetic physician can recommend the best for you. Hyaluronic Acid is a great option to restore facial volume, depending on your condition and the amount you need. Contact a board-certified doctor in your area for a physical exam. Good Luck!

Of course, you can use fillers to restore facial volume that has been lost. My advice, however, is to use your own fat. With fat grafting when performed by plastic surgeon who has a great deal of experience in fat grafting techniques, the results are natural and permanent. Besides, being more natural and permanent, using fat, is less expensive in the long run, then fillers, which are very expensive and add up in price especially when a large volume is needed. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
