Answer: HA Fillers Work Well For Temple Augmentation & Are Reversible If Necessary The photos do suggest some temple area volume deficit that can be addressed with fillers. I gave up using Sculptra quite a number of years ago, since it is expensive, typically requires three treatment sessions to achieve the desired results and does not have any enzyme to dissolve it should the need arise. By contrast, HA fillers are natural sugars, that can yield immediate, on-the-spot results, usually after one treatment session, and can be dissolved fairly easily should the need ever arise. I would suggest caution if considering augmenting the cheeks out of concern that, at least at this stage, this might result in an unappealing "apple cheek" appearance, particularly when smiling. You would be wise to make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Best of luck.

Answer: Necessary Analysis and Non-Surgical Solutions Hello; There is sagging in your cheeks, volume loss in the medial cheek and tear through area. For relevant sagging in your cheeks; the best solution, if you do not have a plan to get a surgery; is PLA (Sculptra, Lanluma) to be applied on the subcutaneous plane. For realizing volume; I recommend for PLA implementation on the bone; that is, deep tissues or a dermal filler application; with a high lifting affect; which is Hyaluronic Acid based.
