"Deep Support Volumetry," otherwise known as The Nonsurgical 3D Vectoring Facelift involves a "sandwich technique" that consists of layering different volumizing fillers for volume restoration and for correcting early sagging and jowling (ptosis) and the use of ordinary fillers for more superficial improvement of more shallow wrinkles and depressions. This, for example, might translate into the use of Voluma XC for accenting the cheekbones, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC for rejuvenating the mid face and treating the hollows. and Belotero Balance should any fine, superficial  "etching" like lines still persist in the lower smile line region following the volumizing treatments just described. The latter would be my choices in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice. In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers and volumizers are available, I would opt for Emervel Volume, Stylage XXL and Teosyal Redensity for the respective purposes mentioned.These are advanced techniques and thus require a skilled injector. So consultation with a board certified aesthetic core physician with extensive expertise and experience is a must--and be sure to ask to see his/her before and after photos.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It looks like you could benefit from fillers at your age. This would add volume in your cheeks and other areas to give you a fuller appearance.

Try Ha fillers like Voluma or Sculptra injections or both. I doubt you have excess fat to use...

There are a number of different facial volume fillers that may be suitable for you to achieve the appearance that you want. These include Juvederm, Voluma, Sculptra, Radiuses, and even your own fat. Each product has it's advantages and disadvantages in terms of how long it lasts and costs. In addition, some products are more suitable for certain areas of the face than others. We utilize all the common fillers mention above based on the individual's needs, budget etc. It is best to obtain a personal consultation for the plastic surgeon to assess your facial structure and how to proceed with a customized volume enhancement. We provide Vecra 3-D imaging as well, to help you visualize the effects of volume enhancement prior to any procedure.
