I Want my Face to Look Fatter and Rounder. It's Long and Skinny, What Can I Do?

Radiesse, Voluma, and Sculptra can all be used to add volume to the face. It is difficult to tell you exactly what you need and what would work best for your goals without seeing you in person. Fat grafting could also be an option for you as well. It is best to have a consultation so that the treatment can be explained in detail and to determine what the best treatment would be for your needs.

  Radiesse can be injected at different points in the face to help plump the look of the face.  If you are looking for significant volume you may want to consider facial fat grafting.   Kenneth Hughes, MD facial fat grafting Los Angeles, CA

Yes. Both Radiesse and Sculptra and very helpful for adding volume to the midface, temples and jawline. For a long and thin face, this can provide more width and balance to the face. Another option for the midface would be cheek implants to permanently add volume to the cheeks. This is obviously generic advice and you would need to submit photos or present for a consultation to figure out what would really be helpful for your specific concerns.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

The best choice in terms of both  longevity and result for this type of situation would be to start a Sculptra regimen.   Sculptra is not a filler, it is a potent bio stimulator and will produce the most natural result with your own body response by producing collagen.   And given that  volume needs to be placed in many areas to achieve  an over all "global" fullness, it is also the best choice.  Not many other fillers look wonderful in front of the ear area, for example or just under the cheek bone.

Hi and thanks for your question, For more volume in the cheeks you can use a hyaluronic acid filler called voluma for a more instant result, this lasts up to 18-24 months.    For long term fullness and to help maintain laxity of the skin you should start a sculptra regimen.  Sculptra is a medication that is injected to stimulate collagen production, the results are not visible until after 3 months.  Some patients chose to do this with a procedure called thermage, which is a radio frequency heat based procedure.  When done together it penetrates through the tissue and is a powerhouse to help keep the face and neck lifted and full.
