Cheek implant vs filler? Is it possible to have filler that doesn't move when animating the face?

Hi OV,

Your first step is to have the offending filler removed, which with Bellafill is difficult. There are fillers that are "expressive", one of which is Restylane Defyne. The other technique to avoid filler moving unnaturally on expression to have the proper filler injected at the proper level (an example is having Sculptra or Voluma injected deep below muscle and over bone.). My best advice is that patients must choose their injecting physician very carefully in the first place. Good luck and be well.

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
