How can I add volume to my face after weight loss? (Photo)

Thank you for your picture.  I would recommend adding volume to your face with either fat, Volume® or Radieses® .  Please seek consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon.

There is a lot that can be done for increased volume including fillers, sculptra, fat and implants.  Please see an expert for an evaluation of full facial sculpting.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Loss of facial volume--treatment? Easiest and least invasive is Voluma or Restalyne Lift done by an experienced injector. 

Thank you for your question and photograph and I am sorry to hear that this has affected your self-confidence. You look to be a good candidate for placement of fillers in order to restore lost volume into the areas of sagging skin and to help support your tissues. Fillers can also help reshape your face, providing more of a heart-shaped appearance which is indicative of youth.  Combine judicious filler placement with initiation of a good skin care regimen to treat your rosacea, as possibly Botox to prevent wrinkling, and you should see steady facial rejuvenation and enhancement.  Hope that this helps.

The most long lasting and potent facial volumizing fillers are Juvederm Voluma® and Sculptra®. As overall facial volumizing is an advanced technique, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation. 

The hollow under the eyes and loss of cheek fullness should respond best to autologous fat grafts. Your own fat revascularizes--blood vessels grow into it and helps to improve the overall circulation to the skin.  Hyaluronic fillers are a good second choice for the cheeks but risky in terms of visibility under the eyes.

There are several options to help revolumize the face for a more youthful look depending on your goals and desires ranging from shorter term fillers to long term fat grafting.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can also help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

Volume is very important to facial structure and is essential to replace to restore a natural youthful appearance. There are multiple approaches that can be used alone or in combination to restore volume. The first is to add skeletal volume by utilizing silicone implants. This approach can be used to improve cheek volume or mandibular structure. Each area requires the surgeon to understand the specific problem and choose the appropriate type and size of implant. The advantage of this approach is that it is permanent. The other options are for soft tissue volumizing. This can be accomplished with autologous fat injection or with other types of fillers such as hyaluronic acid fillers. These fillers augment lost soft tissue volume. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. A portion of the fat will remain longterm however fat requires a surgical procedure, has postoperative swelling and bruising, and may require multiple procedures to achieve the ideal volume. The HA fillers are done as an in office procedure and often do not require any downtime. The most important advice is that you go to an experienced surgeon that understands and has experience with all of the above options so they can give you the best advice for your specific needs. 

 When patients have a flat maxilla and a flat cheek profile from loss of volume, Silastic cheek implants can be inserted to give a permanent volume restoration. Cheek implants are manufactured in a large array of shapes and sizes, which is usually best determined at the time of the consultation and examination, since the cheeks and implants are both three-dimensional structures.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping and contouring procedures over the past 30 years.  Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces.  Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front.  Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face. Hope this helps.
