Prior to fat-grafting, I'd like to try a reversible filler first. My face is extremely gaunt - particularly around my mouth, below my cheekbones, & my temples. I'm 48 and have been the same weight for about 10 years but every year my face gets thinner. I'd hoping for advice on 1) what areas of my face should be the first focus (temples, below eyes, mouth, etc), 2) what particular fillers (reversible) are best, and 3) whether fat grafting will be appropriate for these areas in the future.

Answer: Voluma replacement in a gaunt face Multiple fillers are available on the market for this purpose. You would, most likely, benefit from augmentation of deep fat compartments in the face first, since they are most deflated in patients like you. Voluma, Sculptra may be your first choice to evaluate what result you may expect with more permanent option, fat grafting. In your case, it is just waste of time and money; fat grafting should be your first choice.You should consult an experienced plastic surgeon for detailed evaluation and discussion about your options. Good luck.

Answer: Gaunt face If you are looking for reversible fillers, I would recommend either Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft to achieve the goals you are seeking. Both of these can be used to fill the areas you are looking for and both are reversible. If you are happy with the results, you might consider Radiesse, Sculptra or fat grafting in the future.
