Can Radiesse Restore Volume in Cheeks?

You have picked up on one of the most important concepts in facelifting - it is volume loss, not skin sagging that causes the most changes. By restoring volume to the cheeks and midface, the cheeks will be lifted, the nasolabial lines will diminish, and the jowls will decrease.
Radiesse (or Sculptra) is a good option for restoring volume. I have been using both products extensively sinceand have been very pleasd with the results. I have also been injecting Radiesse through and intra-oral approach (though the inside of the mouth) which gives natural results without any bruising - you can go immediately back to work Your plastic surgeon can tell you more about your options.

Great question.
Radiesse can work very well when injected deeply into the cheeks to restore volume.  Upon injection, Radiesse immediately provides the lift needed to diminish signs of ageing because of the calcium-based microsphere and gel that comprise the product.  But what is unique about Radiesse is that it acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow.  This natural collagen growth continues for many months and extends the initial effect of Radiesse.  In many patients, correction lasts for a year or more.  My patients who are treated with Radiesse achieve long lasting, natural and youthful results.
As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice. 

Radiesse has helped many people with your issue. It is an immediate filler. When mixed with anesthetic it is not a painful treatment, usually. Sculptra is another treatment for this condition.This is more of a stimulant for new collagen rather than an immediate filler and often requires several treatment sessions. Both products could rarely cause lumps and bumps. Volumization of the cheeks can help support the smile creases and jowls and refresh your appearance without surgery, but it is not a replacement for a face lift.
