What is a good filler to fill out sunken cheeks? (Photos)

Juvederm voluma and restylane lyft are a couple options. Sculptra is used on occasion, but you must be aware that this is not a reversible filler and acts differently than the standard hyaluronic acid fillers. Ultimately, all filler procedures will fail and require continued maintenance and repeat therapy. The benefit of using them is that they are less invasive and incrementally less expensive than a more definitive procedure, such as a deep-plane facelift. Warm regards.

These fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra are good for cheek volume. Fat or implants are alternatives. These fillers (belotero, volbella, restylane silk) are good for under the eye, but keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

For your tear troughs, I would go with restylane or restylane fine lines or teosyal redensity II. For the cheeks, either juvederm ultra plus or juvederm volift or restylane would likely be good options. The most important thing is to find a highly trained and experienced dermatologist that you get along with and can trust to give you a natural result and achieve your goals.

You have many option for cheek enhancement. If you never had fillers before I would suggest Restylane Lyft, Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma. Of all three the Restylane is the least expensive and may last as long as Voluma. Radiesse, on the other hand, comes in a syringe with 50% more volume than others. Restylane and Voluma are reversible when needed but this should be a very rare problem. I never advice either permanent or so called semi-permanent synthetic fillers, particularly as the very first injection. Even Sculptra has potential for significant problems that very few want to point out. Even the history of Sculptra approval makes it a problematic filler. This may be my bias but I make my recommendations based on known potential problems to minimize unnecessary risk to patients.Fat transfer is another option but you should avoid the "traditional" method of procurement, processing and injection. If none of these methods provides you with lasting results you may consider cheek implants. Your best bet is to seek advice from Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!

For immediate cheek volume there are several products on the market including Radiesse or Voluma.  Another alternative if you are seeking a long term but not a permanent, surgical solution is Bellafill, which lasts 5 years but results improve over time.  Then of course, you can consider surgery for fat or implants.  For tear troughs I like Belotero or PRP (platelet rich protein) with or without microneedling.

Thank you for your question and your photos.  I would highly suggest you look into Sculptra aesthetic as a collagen builder and volume replacer.  It should fill your cheeks, smile lines and if done properly,should improve with tear trough hollowness.  If after full correction of Sculptra you still feel like your teat trough bothers you, you can then consider adding Restylane there. Not many physicians are familiar or comfortable with using Sculptra because it requires special expert handling.  Hope this helps.  Best, Dr.Avaliani.

Thank you for your question and pictures. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, like Juvederm Voluma, are great for cheeks augmentation and will help treat ¨sagginess¨of the mid-face. A softer dermal filler like Juvederm Volbella or Belotero Balance can easily be injected under the eyes / tear trough area for a more refresh look. Please see an expert. All the best, Dr. Michon

I think you are a great candidate for filler treatment. In your case, I would probably recommend Sculptra Aesthetic which is a collagen stimulating filler. It address the midface hollowing from the recent weight loss and it will also lift the face and improve the undereyes and nasolabial folds. If tear trough filler is needed after the Sculptra treatment, then I would recommend Restylane for this. Laugh lines could be further corrected with the newer flexible gel HA fillers, Restylane Refyne/Defyne. 

Hi,Most fillers are temporary... even fat injections. Consider cheek implants. They can be done under local anesthesia with mild sedation and are permanent. Otherwise if surgery is not an option than fillers such as radiesse may be right for you although not pernanent. Best,Dr.S.
