Should I get fillers or gain some weight back? I wasn't overweight before (122 5'5 V 112 5'5) so my health will not suffer The right side of my face looks flatter. I get told I look tired. Though I am tired (busy grad student). My eyes look more sunken. I am not sure if this is normal aging - I'm 31 - or because of environment/diet. I would like to avoid fillers as long as I have to
Answer: Regain youth back Hello there and thank you for your question and photograph. It is totally normal to have some degree of facial asymmetry. The reason your right side may appear more flat is due to the fact that you sleep on your right side. You were already slim and 10 lbs is a lot of weight change, hence it affected your face. Unfortunately, if you decide to gain it all back, it will not go back to the places you want. You always have choices to make. 1. Do nothing. 2. Consider fillers 3. Consider fat grafting. Filler sis the fast, quickest and least expensive option that will give you an almost instant result resulting in a more refreshed appearance. Fat grafting is slightly more invasive and does have downtime and is much more expensive. Hope this helps. Best, Dr.Avaliani

Answer: Weight loss and Facial Fillers You have a beautiful face and structure and the weight that you lost has made your face look drawn. You would definitely benefit from some volume replacement and I would utilize Voluma for you to give you a natural looking result. Please consult an expert in Voluma and facial cosmetic injections for the best results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Dermal fillers for uneven face Thank you for your question and picture. First of all, asymmetry of the face is completely normal. However, dermal fillers are great options to improve symmetry and will help with the tired look. If you are healthy and at your ideal body weight, gaining weight is not ideal and you may not gain it back at the face. I recommend seeing an expert for a proper consultation and treatment plan. I hope this help. All the best, Dr. Michon

Answer: Fillers Thank you for your question. I agree that you should stay away from fillers for as long as possible. Your question mentioned a 10 pound weight loss. My first question to you would be why did you lose the weight? Was it spontaneous or were you trying? If you haven't had a complete physical recently, I would suggest starting with your Internist. Blood work might be a good idea. Good luck. Dr. DiPasquale

Answer: Flat face after weight loss Many women complain that when they lose weight, it makes their face look tired or saggy. It is also true that most of us are flatter on one side of our face than the other. We usually lose more volume on the side on which we most frequently sleep.
