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: Radiesse for cheek volume 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.

Answer: Volume restoration in the cheeks 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.

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.

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.
