Injectable Fillers Case

Details for Case #12206

This 49-year-old woman was concerned about looking “old.” With time, her cheeks had deflated and exaggerated her nasolabial folds, or the creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Wanting to subtly restore the volume of her cheeks, she began looking for a Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon who offered non-surgical options for skin rejuvenation. Eventually, she decided to schedule a consultation at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates.

Restoring the youthful look of a patient’s face can be as simple as a single injection. When this patient came in for her consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons, she expressed her desire for non-surgical rejuvenation and explained what she wanted to treat. Given her concerns, her surgeon recommended that he use the injectable Radiesse® to increase the volume in her cheeks quickly and safely.

Radiesse works like a dermal filler at first, increasing the volume of the skin, and after about 3 months, helps provide a framework for new collagen growth. This patient received 2 syringes with Radiesse in her cheeks and found that her cheeks looked fuller and more youthful after about 15 minutes. When asked how she felt about her treatment with Radiesse in Los Angeles, she said she was very pleased with the results.
