Question

I am 39 have Botox, filler to jaw, chin, nasolabial folds. I have been told I don't need cheek filler but I think I need something, is it my temples?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

fillers can be used to contour your temples, cheeks, folds, lips and chin. I would suggest tightening and lfiting you may need a surgical lift to really give your face more youthfulness.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi! I would focus on treatments to balance your well shaped features. Specifically, I’d recommend tightening around your eyes, a little filler on your jawline and to slightly elongate your chin. I don’t see a lot of temple volume loss but a touch of filler there does tend to enhance one’s youthful appearance. For maintenance, in addition to your current treatment schedule and skincare, full face BBL is great. Occasional lifting plus collagen stimulation with PDO threads would be nice as well.

I think you're right, temples would be the icing on the cake:) Most women love the temples to be rounded outwards. It's a really nice look.
