I have some flatness on the front of my upper cheeks and some very early signs of jowls forming (arrow on side). Would some Voluma or other filler injected into the front of the cheeks fill out the flatness as well as give a bit of a vertical lift to the skin that is sagging at my jawline? I'm getting some PDO threads soon to the jowl area but the threads can only pull to the side, not give a vertical lift. It was suggested to get chin filler to address the jowls but I don't want to do that.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill), Sculptra, implants, fat Yes, contouring of the of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. This would allow you to try on the look before committing to a permanent option like fat or implants. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lift the cheeks? Implants or fillers Yes, fillers can be used for this. Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients. Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you. Fillers: Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime Hope this helps.
