Hey lady, how painful are the fillers? Why did you say it was useless for the prejowl areas? Im reading up on fat transfers but its such a mixed bag (looking to get roundness/fullness in the face since midface and area beneath the cheeks are sinking in hard. :/
Not that painful. For lips they use a dental block, so, not painful. I don't really remember what the chin injections felt like. They probably used a numbing cream or dental block.
For me it just didn't work well for the prejowl area. I wasn't trying to replace lost fat, more like lack of bone. I got 2 vials and I needed more and it just made it very cost prohibitive. I had a face almost like a babies face, where there is a lot of cheek fat and small chin and it gives you this jowly look, even when you're young and have no sagging! But it's OK now, for the most part. I have a bit of jowl on one side, maybe my lipo was done unevenly, who knows!
I think sculptra is quite good for cheeks but I guess it would be advisable to try a more temporary filler to see the look before going with sculptra. Radiesse is the firmest and is good along the cheekbone area to 'lift' everything
You might want to also consider eyelid filler, if you're starting to lose volume in the face. They put it in the browbone area, like this -
You're welcome to borrow some of my cheek fat. I've got more than enough!
