I am 28 years old and having fillers in cheeks and tear troughs .Are there benefits of starting with filler treatments at an early age ? Will i need to be less frequent with treatments in future?
Answer: Benefits of starting fillers Hello and thank you for your question. For the most part, I think that it is a good idea to start now so that you can help maintain your skin and keep the wrinkles from worsening over time. In your case, tear trough fillers and cheek enhancement would not really have any preventative effect, but can be done purely for the aestethic improvement (tough to say without photos). As far as prevention, combination treatments are best; starting from simple facials with microdermabrasions and light peels or lasers (to help resurface the skin and exfoliate dead skin cells), to light Botox treatments that will help wrinkles from worsening over time while smoothing existing fine lines out along with fillers that can boost facial volume. Topicals are also important to maintain moisture, protect from free radicals/sun damage (vitamin C, SPF, etc), as well as to encourage light exfoliation (Retinols). Best of luck.

Answer: Benefits of getting fillers in you 20s Thank you for your question. This a lifestyle choice and is entirely up to you. Fillers will not prevent you from aging, but there is nothing wrong about starting treatment in your 20s.

Answer: Early start to have fillers may help long term I don't suggest using fillers for volume correction if there is no volume deficit of the face but on the other hand one doesn't have to wait until their 40's or 50's to have filler once the skin has started to sag more noticeably. Hyaluronic acid injections such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and others have shown that the treatment helps the body produce more collagen and in time this may help strengthen the supporting structures of the face.It certainly is easier to maintain a youthful face if there is less need of fillers per visit and this would be the case should one start to have injections of fillers soon after the descent, sagging or contour depressions are noted.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.

Answer: Benefits of early filler use Thank for your question! Early botox use can help prevent formation of wrinkles in the future. I would not say that most providers recommend you start using filler as a preventative measure. You may find that you need less filler and treatments less frequently after multiple treatments, but this occurs at any age of use. Warm regards.

Answer: Benefits of fillers in 20's. Thank you for your question. While some fillers can help stimulate collagen production, which is something that decreases with age, there is a lot of commitment (both financial and maintenance) to beginning fillers at such a young age. Once you get used to the effects the filler provides, it will be more difficult to discontinue use if you decide to. That being said, there isn’t any proven data that shows that early use of fillers will stall aging later. It’s a personal choice, and one that I would discuss with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon injector. Good luck! Anthony P. Terrasse, MD
