Is Versa or Restylane Lyft and Defyne good options for cheekbones?

Question

Vycross caused very long term swelling. Fillers seem to show a lot of me because they make me retain a lot of water. I need cheek volume because trying to remove mollure made me get rid of my own tissue. cannot use vycross (chronic swelling). what is the best alternative to voluma? are restylane lyft or defyne or even versa a good option?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Any Juvederm product is likely to be more 'hydrophilic' than others, meaning it is water-loving and prone to additional swelling effect. Some patients get great benefits with the swelling but for others it can be chronic overkill. For the cheeks, I think Restylane Lyft or Defyne is great, depending on how you want to use it. Lyft is structural and offers height to the cheeks, while Defyne is integrative and offers a smooth range of volume. Regardless of the product you choose, I strongly suggest that you build your cheeks in conservative amounts over time so the product is building and lasting longer. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

I work with the Restylane family of fillers in my clinic, and I prefer Restylane Lyft when treating the cheeks. Sculptra works well for panfacial volume loss.

Restylane Lyft is my product of first choice. Often, it is combined with Radiesse.  See a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to review your history and suggest options.
