Hi Dr. R, I am interested in Radiesse (or any other filler) for my jaw line. It is not very prominent and from the side it appears to disappear into my neck. I am not overweight but it makes me look that way. Can enhancement be done with fillers? If so, which do you recommend best and how many units would be needed (on average)?
A face must be seen from multiple angles in order to determine what strategy is the best to address a specific concern. Often, lifting and recountouring go hand in hand to achieve this goal. Certain fillers are better for lift others are better for reflation and contouring. Simple recountouring may require 1-2 syringes whereas a liquid face lift easily consumes 1 syringes. In office evaluation is needed for discussion of expectations, side effects and a cost estimate.
