I am 52 years old. I have been using Restylane for the folds around my mouth and nose.I have had some improvement. However, I notice that my skin is sagging (of course at my age.) I have lost some weight. If I pull my cheeks back slightly, my folds and sagging improve. Can the volume be replaced in one's face? Would Radiesse be a good product for this as it helps the body produce its own collagen? I have a long face, which does not help this matter.

Answer: Midface Radiesse Good question. A major component of midface sagging, contributing to the folds around your mouth and nose (nasolabial fold) is loss of facial volume/fat as one ages. By filling up the midface area with own's fat or other product, the folds can improve. Radiesse is actually a good option for the midface area and lasts longer than restylane. Good luck.

Answer: Radiesse Restores Volume and Stimulates New Collagen Radiesse packs a double whammy: Not only does it get injected deeply beneath the skin, where it adds a very natural-looking volume to the mid-face area, giving you a gentle and subtle “lift,” it also stimulates the production of new collagen. One of the hallmarks of aging is a diminution in collagen production, which leads to thinner, sagging skin. New collagen plumps up the skin, making it look more youthful and fresh. Talk to a board-certified dermatologist to find out how Radiesse can rejuvenate your face.
