Will Sculptra only add volume to an already chubby face or help “pull up” fat pads?

Question

I went to a consult with a PS for under eye pigmentation and hollowing. (I want to be careful with fillers as I already have chubby cheeks. Should probably consider buccal fat removal!) However, the PS recommended Sculptra to help with under eye issues and also jowling. Would adding Sculptra to temples and upper cheeks actually help or potentially just make my face look chubbier?

It's hard to comment on your specific case without seeing a photo or evaluating you in person. That being said, Sculptra Aesthetic is a collagen stimulating filler that is commonly used to restore lost facial volume. In doing so, it can help lift the face and along reduce the appearance of the jowls. When it comes to the undereyes, I prefer to use hyaluronic acid based fillers like Restylane.

.it is difficult to make a recommendation without seeing you in person or at least looking at a good set of photographs. Good luck from New York City
