I’m a 34 year old male who needs to add support, structure and volume to his midface which I want to use to inturn provide me under eye support. I find that adding filler directly in the undereye area provides me volume but not support. I also find that filler provides support in the mid face temporarily but once it becomes “soft” after a few months, it just provides volume. Does Sculptra have a lifting and support effect and does it tighten the SMAS layer and not just volume? Also, Do threads provide structure and support to the midface and not just volume? I want to use threads as a trial for a midface lift.

Answer: Addressing the male mid face First, I will start to explain to you about the threads. the threads them self provide very little volume, number one. Threads also provide no support, except for some suspension of the mid face, but that suspension support will disappear with a first rather hard face washing. I have never seen a thread lifts hold up even three months at best. if you desire to have good support as well as volume in the mid face, you can use Sculptra, however, you cannot come close to the eyelid or a process of granuloma formation may occur. My best recommendation to you is to have a plastic surgeon who has experience in fat grafting techniques , perform fat grafting to whatever parts of your face requires it, and this will intern, restore the lost volume and provide substantial support. When the procedure of fat grafting is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the results are extremely natural and practically permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.

Answer: Do thread lifts and Sculptra add support, structure & lift to the midface? Thank you for your question. Tissue fillers including Sculptra and volume to the midface and can provide a temporary improvement in the appearance of not only the cheek but the nasolabial fold area.
