Hi, which would be more efficient in augmenting my cheekbones? I find my face to be too flat and would like to create more depth.
Answer: Bellafill vs. Sculptra Hi and thank you for your question! Bellafill and Sculptra (alongside with Radiesse to some extent) are the main FDA-approved stimulatory fillers currently available in the US. You could see similar results with either treatments in the long run, but in the short-term, the results with Bellafill tend to be more noticeable, simply because it does provide some immediate Volumizing effect, while for Sculptra, the Volumizing effect is seen after a few months and as body's reaction to the filler particles in form of new collagen builds up. Please note that individual result may vary. I use both fillers on regular basis and have seen great results with either one. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Providing Lift and Cheek Contouring-- Fillers (Radiesse, Voluma, Bellafill), Sculptra, implants, fat, Renuvion, RF Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill, Contour) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Bellafill causes long term complications Filler migration and granuloma formation can cause longterm problems with Bellafill and Artefill fillers. This is similar in patients who have Artecoll and PMMA fillers. Longterm filler complications include migration, edema, chronic swelling, and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes, corticosteroids, and scar tissue modulators. Our HIDEF approach can break down filler scarring and granulomas so that they are less apparent. If the filler material itself does not dissolve, it either means the filler is likely not HA material or is unresponsive to conservative therapy. This technique may be followed by surgical removal of the filler if there is a suitable target for removal and the chance of scarring is low. Surgical removal of Bellafill is possible and we have a wide ranging experience with the treatment. Some areas of the face can be treated because the Bellafill removal scars are barely visible. We have found that Bellafill nodules, if palpated, can be removed from the tissue. Undereye Bellafill, nasolabial fold Bellafill, and lip filler can be treated successfully. Diffuse Bellafill is difficult to treat. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Bellafil or Sculptra Both fillers placed adequately can give you great results. The main difference is that Bellafil is permanent and Sculptra would go away in a few years. My personal choice is Bellafil.

Answer: Bellafill versus Sculptra Bellafill and Sculptra are both stimulating agents that result in thickening of the tissue under the skin to produce more volume. They both normally require a series of treatments over time to gradually fill in the treated area. I think you could obtain the same result with either product, so I would not say that one is more efficient than the other. It is just a matter of your preference and the preference of the physician treating you.
