RE: Gaunt Face at 25 Years Old - Options?

Question

I posted a question asking about making my face more feminine and less gaunt/old looking and all of the responses were that I had an eating disorder and look anorexic! I am horrified. I would like to clarify that I am 5'10 and fluctuate between 150-160 pounds, sometimes up to 165. I by no means have an eating disorder! I just gain all my weight in my waist and breasts and none in my arms, shoulders or face. How much filler would I need? Would cheek or jaw implants help me? Thank you.

Gaunt face treatment in 25 yr. old without an eating disorder usually involves chin and or cheek implants. I would need to see more photos of your face to give a better answer. Fillers are not the way to solve your problem!

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

You may want to consider a filler such as Sculptra Aesthetic to help fill the volume in your face.  It is surprising how adding a little volume to your face can make such a big difference.

Sometimes fat grafting can help restore or add volume to the mid face and cheeks.
It’s hard to say if this is right for you from this photo alone

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

From this limited dark photo it is impossible to say what would be best for you.

	Sulptra may be an option to fill in the cheek areas. You can look at the referenced web page to see if that is something you would like.

	My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.
