Q: Risk of death from injectable fillers due to embolism? asked by Wonderingabout... Portland, OR
All current FDA approved fillers as safe if used and injected properly. The key to good results in the use of fillers is to find a Plastic Surgeon who does his own filler injections and who is knowledgeable about which filler works the best for which area.
For instance, I use Juvederm preferentially over Restylane for the lips as it is smoother and softer . On the other hand, I prefer Restylane for correction of the tear trough area around the eyes as it can last well over one year.
I like Radiesse which is a longer lasting filler for the nasolabial folds and reshape the patients cheeks and for deeper nasolabial folds.
I often use Botox in conjunction with a filler as it allows the filler to last about 50% longer to reshape the both the upper and lower face.
