I have sunken cheeks that make me look old, tired, and malnourished. I don’t want surgical implants. Is there another option I can use to fill in my cheeks?
Answer:
Sculptra® is a facial volume filler that actively stimulates the natural production of collagen. The results are gradual and natural looking. It takes a series of two or three treatments at four-week intervals to complete. Then, maintenance every three years is required. This may be a great option for you to consider but it is important that you find an experienced surgeon with great aesthetic judgment and knowledge of aging.
I am undergoing Juvederm treatments Wednesday. How long will it be before I see noticeable effects?
Answer:
You will be able to see noticeable effects with your Juvederm injections immediately. When you achieve your desired result, the treatment will be stopped and you’ll leave with a rejuvenated and youthful new look.
Are there any side effects associated with facial fillers?
Answer:
Even though fillers are extremely safe, they do come with a few side effects. You may experience bruising at the injection site that will disappear shortly, or you may develop a rare case of sensitivity to the filler. You could also experience some uneven volume under the skin, which can be corrected with massage or removal of a small amount of filler.

What if I don’t like how the facial fillers change my look? Will I be stuck that way until it finally wears off?
Answer:
No, there are short-term facial fillers that only last for six months and some of these are reversible if the results are not ideal. Restylane and Juvederm both contain hyaluronic acid that can be dissolved, if needed.
I’d like to get rid of my wrinkles but I don’t want to return to the doctor every six months for a repeat treatment. Is there any facial filler that will last longer?

I don’t like the idea of injecting a foreign protein into my face that is made from bacteria associated with causing food poisoning. Are there any facial fillers made from natural proteins available?
Answer:
Even though Botox is made from botulism, it has been diluted to a harmless level and it is very safe. Botox does provide amazing results, however there are many choices of facial fillers made from natural proteins available. Restylane and Juvederm are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural protein already found in the body. Also, Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite, another natural protein already found in the body. Each of these facial fillers works best in different areas of the face. Make sure you do your research so you know which would be best in the area you’d like to improve.
