Best filler for marionette lines? Is Radiesse a good option? (photo)

Question

I am looking for the best filler for the marionette lines. I have heard that Radiesse would be very good. My main objective is to smooth the area, but I also want something that will have a lasting effect (i.e., more than 6 months). Any suggestions? Also, any price ranges would be very appreciated. The Radiesse was quoted at $575 per syringe. I am also considering having some contour done on my cheeks. Again, what would be the best filler for that area and the cost?

Thank you for your question.Radiesse would be a great option for your nasolabial and marionette lines. It is a thicker product and helps to build volume. If you are thinking about adding volume to the cheeks, you could also you Radiesse for that as well. The price will be dependent on your area, $575 sounds about right.

I use Radiesse in this area and find that it does a great job.  It can't be dissolved like the other fillers but it's consistency allows for good volumization and is long lasting.  Best of luck!

My current 2017 favorite fillers for the mid face are Restylane® Refyne and Juvederm® Vollure. Prices vary widely geographically, and based on the experience-level of the board-certified aesthetic physician you see.

Thank you for your question. Radiesse would be a great filler to address your marionette lines. Also, it is long lasting, known to last 12-15 months on average. At my practice, we generally recommend Bellafill as it is one of the longest lasting fillers available. As for price, it will differ depending on the practice and location. I would discuss your options with a certified injector near you. Thank you!

Thank you for your photo. Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler used for aging hands, veins and wrinkles. It is primarily used to fill in smile lines, sunken areas of your face or hands and filling in the lines around your mouth. You could use it for your marionette lines but it’s best to get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
