Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

I'm almost 24 years old and most people think I look much older like 30's. It's really embarrassing and I've been trying to find out how to look closer to my age besides just dressing young, no facial hair, appropriate weight, etc. I have radiesse in my cheeks which has overall positive for me and juvederm in my nasolabial area which has helped but in certain lighting still looks like I have a pretty bad paranasal depression. These have made me look somewhat better but not much younger. I'm wondering what your opinion is on what I should do.

obviously, i would have to see you but in general, i would stick to temporary fillers because i always worry how a permanent filler would look for you when you age. if it is a wrinkle problem, then obviously botox can help too.

Is it possible to send you some pictures and have you kinda see what I'm talking about? I've gone to a couple of surgeons but it seems like as soon as they hear how old I am, they don't actually pay attention to my face. They act like I look my age, but most people are truly shocked by my age and would guess about ten years older. I can see it in myself too but can only pinpoint one or two things that may be the cause.

you can send me a private message here or attach a photo to samlammd@yahoo.com. i will give you an honest opinion.
best,
