I do not wish to have Sculptura,nor Radiesse, nor the invasive treatment of fat injections, which are unpredictable. I am wanting to fill out the below the cheeks, the sub malar region, not to have higher cheekbones at all, but to fill out the slight hollowness. Would Perlane be a good filler, would any injectables work in this area, and how many approximate mls would be required ?

Answer: Fillers (Perlane or Juvaderm Ultra Plus) in the Submalar area for Cheek Augmentation
The area that we call the "cheek" can be divided into different zones. Some fall over the cheek bones themselves (medial, central, and lateral), there is the area below the cheek bone (submalar area), and the tear trough. Filler can be placed in any or all of these locations to augment the cheek, depending on the look you are going for, or which areas are relatively deficient. The technique is the same no matter which of the zones you are injecting. In terms of how many cc's would be required, it is impossible to say without seeing you. I would recommend consulting with an experienced injector who can customize a plan for you to achieve your goals.

Answer: Perlane for midface rejuvenation
Over time, fat compartments in the cheek atrophy, and the nice high cheekbones that many of us had disappears. This leads to hollows in the midface and deep nasolabial folds. There are different filler options for replacing volume. The longer-lasting fillers, Radiesse and Sculptra, provide a very nice, natural result. However, these products can not be dissolved or reversed, although they will dissipate over time. Perlane, a thicker hyaluronic acid filler, is a great choice for cheek augmentation. It also can be dissolved by hyaluronidase if need be. How much is needed depends on each individual patient and can be determined by a board-certified dermatologist.
