Question : I notice that when I am not smiling, it looks like I am frowning. People actually comment that I seem angry. I don’t know if this involves just my mouth or both my mouth and eyes. Would a consultation help me identify whether I need a cheek lift, an eyelift or both?

Radiesse
Question :
I’ve always had very flat cheeks and have envied those with nice high cheekbones. Would implants be a good way to improve my flat cheeks? Are there any other options like fillers?
Answer:
A deep volumizing filler like Radiesse works well for this, and many of our patients choose this option. However, a silicone plastic implant gives you a permanent augmentation. Especially in your case, where you have always had a relative skeletal deficiency (ie flatness) implants provide a more logical approach. There are many different sizes and shapes. Here is a link to our photo galleries for fillers:

Question:
Are there any fillers that provide permanent or longer lasting results and what can they be used for?
Answer:
I use a lot of Radiesse. It lasts 10-14 months in most cases. The hyaluroinc acids do not seem to last as long. Sculptra can last longer, but my patients do not seem to want to bear the extra expense. I use fillers for facial volume increase and for filling lines. I also use them for lip augmentation (in that case hyaluronic acids).
Question:
Is it possible to use injectable fillers to help raise eyebrows?
Answer:
Yes, diluted hyaluronic acid and Radiesse can both be used to raise the brow a millimeter or two.

Question:
I'm 38 years old and have some hollowing or volume loss in my lower cheeks. Can this be fixed with a facelift or would fillers or fat grafting be a better option?
Answer:
A facelift usually will not improve volume loss in the lower cheeks. A midface lift my change the appearance by moving volume up. Most commonly a filler like Radiesse, fat grafting or a cheek implant will help.
