Can Artefill Improve over Time?

Tags: nose, long-term, radix
I saw my doctor today. I had an injection of Artefill in the Radix of the nose. It has been 4 months now. I wanted to get another injection to fill it a little bit more, like 2 mi limiters or 1, that's all it needs. She told me to wait another 4 months to make sure I wont be wasting money for nothing since I won't need a full syringe of Artefill, and to let the Artefill settle in a bit more. My question is can Artefill improve past the 4 months ?

Artefill improving over time
Yes, it is best to give your ArteFill more time, unless it is certain you need more augmentation. The results seem to improve over a year.

Can Artefill Improve over time?
Artefill is a permanent filler.
It is important not to reinject too soon, especially in a small area such as the radix of your nose.
I would wait at least 6 months before reinjecting.
