What Filler is recommended for a Thinning Face?

I think most doctors would recommend Sculptra for overall facial volumization.  The amount of product you get and the overall effects are very nice.  There are some downsides.  Another great option is fat grafting.  The basics of this procedure is that you do small volume liposuction in the belly or the flank, wash and isolate the fat, and then inject it into the desired locations in the face.  The results are permanent, fairly predictable (as long as you inject it into the right places) and really pretty. 

I would first recommend that you speak to a board certified specialist who can give you more specific recommendations. However if you are just interested in learning about various options, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are capable of augmenting as well as hydrating tissue to add volume to a specific area. 

Radiesse, which is made of calcium based microspheres can provide structural corrections to enhance the cheek areas. It can also fill wrinkles and enhance the volume of the face as well. Radiesse also promotes the development of new collagen fibers which enhance the firmness of your skin.


Also fat transfers are another option to consider. As the name suggests, live fat cells from another part of your body are injected into a specific area.


All of these are excellent options that give very natural looking results.  Your doctor can give you better guidance on which solutions would be best for your face.

While it is of utmost importance to find an expert physician to offer their advice about which would filler or injectable treatment would work best for you, my preference for patients who have a lot of volume loss for a number of reasons is Sculptra.  It is a great way to restore volume in the face, other than structural fat grafting and it produces a nice, natural look.
