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

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.  

Thank you for your question. Usually our face looks thinner as we age but it’s difficult to give you advice without seeing a photo.  If you are looking to add volume to the full face then the best filler is Sculptra. Another option to consider can is a hyaluronic acid filler so that you can reverse it if you are unhappy with your results. This is because Sculptra cannot be reversed. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of luck!

Great question. Yes, Radiesse can be used along the jaw line but I would rather use Sculptra along that area if you are looking for a more round face. Both are considered Bio Stimulators to produce more collagen in your face. 

Based on your general description the best product I can recommend is Sculptra.  Sculptra is an FDA approved filler made of poly-l-lactic acid. The liquid is absorbed and replaced with the body's own natural collagen over time. This is the best product for overall fullness and facial volume to achieve a more soft and natural look. However, the best way to determine which filler is best for you is through a consult with a trusted healthcare provider. Best of luck!

Intriguingquestion you have here. Though I may not be able to specifically provide youanswers customized for your needs and desires, since this will require thoroughexamination, I can tell that you will be needing a variety of filler to makeyour face look rounder and fatter. You may need to at least use Voluma,Radiesse, as well as Sculptra for additional facial volume. Among the threeSculptra would be the best filler if you were looking to volumize your entireface. However, if this is your first time, you might want to take into accountfillers, which are of hyaluronic acid base. These types of fillers, Voluma forinstance, can be reversed if you did not like the result. Sculptra and Radiesseare sadly non-reversible.
Foryour case, I would recommend that you personally look for and visit a boardcertified plastic surgeon for treatment consultation. He or she will be able tofurther explain the different fillers as well as identify which one would bebest to achieve your desired results as well as fulfill your needs.

Most old thin faces need to be volumized from the temples down because of loss of temple volume causing face to look skeletal. For such a project I would start with Sculptra.  A younger face might need this volume but might do well with volume added to the mid facial region only. For this I would use Radiesse or Restylane Lyft. If you could send a photo that would help.

Hi,

Thank you for your question. If it is full face volumizing that you are looking for the best filler is Sculptra. You may also want to consider a hyaluronic acid filler as a first time patient because you can reverse it. Radiesse and Sculptra we can not reverse.

Hope this helps.

Best,
