That's like comparing apples and oranges. HIFU will lift and tighten loose skin by stimulating collagen production. Fillers will replace lost volume. It's often best to use them both in combination to achieve optimal results. I would recommend an in-person consultation and evaluation with an experienced physician provider to have your concerns address and a treatment plan determined. Best wishes.
Thank you for your question payinggg.0. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to restorelost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. It is difficult to make an assessment without aformal exam in the office where I can view the skin in multiple angles. However,I hope the information provided here is useful.Sagging skin is a common concern. This occurs for two main reasons. First, naturally over time fat pads in the face get smaller and bony changes affect the structural support. This leads to downward movement of facial structures. At the same time collagen is lost, which leads to loose skin. With gravity facial structures also move downward which further contributes to the downward movement of the facial structures. For best results both of these changes can be address. By placing fillers such as Voluma in the upper cheeks, volume can be restored in the apple of the cheeks. This pulls up on the lower face. At the same time energy-based devises such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, and lasers can stimulate collagen formation to further pull the structures in the lower face upward. I find that a combination approach always works best.Please consult with a doctor for specificrecommendations. Good luck!

Its hard to say, but likely you can have a nice, natural improvement with much less downtime, pain, and risk of surgery by starting out with properly placed fillers, especially in the cheeks, and likely a bit in the laugh & marionette lines as well. Best to speak with a highly trained co...
It depends on when you had the filler injected and what type of filler was used. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for swelling and bruising to go down and lumps and bumps to smooth out. Sometimes you can feel a lump when you press on the area, but if it is not visible or painful you can just leave it...
