I saw a dermatologist for early signs of aging. Im 37 and noticing aging around my lower face. The dermatologist recommended 1 cc restylane lyft to mid cheeks and 1 cc of restylane silk around the mouth. I am concerned that this will not result in significant enough difference. Is this the correct combination or amount that you would recommend?
Answer: Facial Filler Finding the right starting point for filler is sometimes a difficult question. You want to get enough, but not too much. Starting with a little bit and coming back a few weeks to month later is a very safe, consistent, and reproducible way to subtly change your look and not have an overdone appearance. Make sure you go to a competent and qualified provider who understands your goals, is knowledgeable about facial anatomy, and is able to take care of any complications that may arise. Pricing will vary but don't be afraid to pay a little more for the quality of a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the injections. Also, inquire about onsite hyaluronidase. Fortunately, complications after filler injections are quite rare but when they do occur, they must be treated immediately. All too often, providers set themselves up to do the injections but are not set up to handle the rare complications. Make sure the provider you choose has the necessary items at hand to render treatment immediately if a complication should occur.

Answer: Restylane Lyft Placing 0.5cc of Restylane Lyft in each side of the midface will yield very minimal results. I normally begin with 1cc of Lyft in each side, otherwise the effect and longevity will be minimal.

Answer: Not enough.... I appreciate your concern about the volume 2 ml total. However, I believe this is a good recommendation for your aging signs. It's also a good start as more volume at once may lead to unwanted side effects like prolonged swelling. Best wishes. Dr. ALDO

Answer: Is 1 cc of Restylane Lyft and Silk enough? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I would recommend at least one syringe of Lyft or Voluma for each cheek and a thicker product in the lower face like standard Restylane or Juvederm Ultra Plus/ Vollure. It often takes more filler than you anticipate to make a noticeable change,especially once the swelling resolves. Hope this helps.

Answer: Improving Volume Loss- Lasers. Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat A combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert.
