I need to get facial filler for my cheeks and hollow eyes as I look gaunt and unattractive. If I get some temporary filler and decide to lose 5 kilos of weight, will my cheeks look deformed or will the filler shift elsewhere causing an uneven appearance on my face after I lose the weight.
Answer: Loosing weight with fillers Loosing weight should not significantly change your results or distort your face. If the weight loss is significant you might consider a filler "touch up" to maintain the attractive shape of your face. Also, if you think you might be needing injectibles for years to come, consider fat grafting as a longer lasting alternative to temporary fillers. Best wishes!

Answer: Cheeks -- Fat; Fillers like Radiesse, Juvederm Voluma/Vollure, Restylane Defyne/Lyft, Bellafill, Sculptra; Cheek Implants Facial sculpting and contouring of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Contour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Weight and fillers Hi there thank you for your question Hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers are an excellent solution to facial volume loss you describe here, however I would strongly recommend waiting till your stable weight is reached prior to injection not due to displacement of product but purely your overall aesthetic result. I hope this helps and good luck!

Answer: Fillers Thank you for your question. Lose the weight first, then fill up the defects. I like Sculptra, Juvederm Voluma, and other hyaluronic acids products. I hope this helps!

Answer: Appearance of facial volumizers following weight loss. You have presented a good question. You have described loss of facial volume. Without assessing your face, one option is the use of a hyaluronic acid such as Juvederm, Voluma, or Perlane, or Radiesse or Sculptra. The hyaluronic acids offer immediate results, a reversal treatment( if for some reason you did not like the result), and they last for approximately 9 months to a year depending on if optimal result was obtained initially or if follow-up treatments were required. Radiesse is unique because it provides good support and volume and lasts for approximately 1 to 1.5 years but there really is no reversal component. Sculptra is a dermal stimulator. You do not have immediate results with Sculptra, as with the other injectables but once optimal treatment is obtained, the duration if approximately 2-4 years. If you lost weight following a volumizer and the product was placed anatomically correct initially, there should not be contour abnormalities. It is important to have an experienced injector with several products to choose to offer recommendations and provide treatment. If the amount of product and technique are correct, your desired outcome should be met.Thank you.
