A recent illness has caused some unexpected & unwanted weight loss leaving my face looking gaunt, any suggestions what I can do? I’ve tried eating more thinking if I gained weight I could fix it, but no matter how much I ate I still have this gaunt sickly, hollowed out look, and I have only been able to gain back 3 pounds out of the 15 I lost. I was very ill for 2 and a half years, but I’m well now. Any suggestions as to what to do? Fillers maybe? I’m 38. Thank you

Answer: Improving facial volume with fillers (Radiesse, Voluma, Bellafill), Sculptra, implants, fat Volume of the face can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fillers for Cheeks Thank you for including your pictures and your question. I am sorry for your illness however; it looks like you are moving forward. Losing volume from the face can easily be replaced with dermal fillers. I would recommend an in person consultation with an injector to evaluate which filler is best for you. In my practice we only use Allergan products. Best wishes

Answer: Cheek filler Hi,Thank you for including your pictures. I am happy that you are better from your illness. Weight loss, intended or otherwise, can deflate the fat pads in the face and cause a gaunt appearance. Dermal fillers are a highly effective way of reversing these unwanted changes. An in person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon will be informative and a good place to start. Best, Mehdi Sina, MD
