Losing shape in lower face. Wondering the best way to proceed without looking boxy or a heavy face.
The types of issues seen in the photos are those seen practically everyday by those of us with an active cosmetic dermatology practice and are the kind that are amenable to the skillful and artistic use of HA fillers. Such fillers may be used to straighten the marionette lines to the sides of the mouth. In the hands of an expert injector, they can define and straighten the jawline without creating a masculine squared or boxy face. They can help to diminish smile lines to the sides of the nose and treat developing tear troughs under the eyes. Before jumping to relatively expensive, "next big thing" bells and whistles energybased devices, you would be wise to make sure that you consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
