Can Filler in Cheeks and Tear Trough Slow or Prevent Recovery from Bad Botox Near Eyes?

I had a bad Botox experience 2 months ago. Had it for crows feet and it created cheek ptosis and bad hollows under eyes. I had filler in tear trough and cheek after that to try to look better. It did not help and made it worse (bags under eyes and puffy cheeks). I'm considering dissolving the filler everywhere. I hope it is safe. I also reckon that the filler might prevent my eyes and cheek muscles to recover from Botox? What do you think? Thanks for your help in advance.

Fillers and Botox

The fillers should not have any effect on the botox wearing off.  Botox when done correctly can be a great solution ot the crow's but if chased down the side of the face will limit cheek movement.

Botulinum Toxin (Botox and Dysport) and concurrent use of fillers

To the best of my knowledge, fillers will or should not effect the longevity of the Botulinum Toxin (Botox and Dysport) results

Dissolving fillers after Botox

Dissolving the hyaluronidase is commonly done if the result is less than satisfactory. It will not deter the recovery from the Botox so if you have a desire to have the filler dissolve, you can safely have it done.

Filler after Botox

The best thing to do after your Botox injection is to let it wear off and things will go back the way they were since the effect of Botox is temporary. It is a mistake to chase after Botox with fillers if you did not need filler in the first place because the filler effect will last much longer. You can go ahead and dissolve the fillers if they are of the hyarulonic acid type.

Dissolving unfavorable results from fillers- Yes it is safe!

I lecture on filler complications frequently.  I have seen bad results from various sources. I am prone to dissolve everything and start fresh if I am consulted about  an unfortunate patient with a messy, unfavorable result.  I use hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler, and then I wait about 10 days before reassessment.  Sometimes, I have to do it more than once (dissolving the product).  Once everything back to square one, I then consider adding filler again.... more

Botox would not cause cheek ptosis if injected properly

You can have the filler resolved by injecting the Wydaze. I do not believe that Botox caused the check ptosis. In 3 months all of the Botox effect will be gone and you can have evaluation for the cheek area.

Fillers don't interfere with Botox

In general, the Botox effects should resolve in about three months after the injections. Any fillers that were placed can be "dissolved" with hyaluronidase safely. There should be no interference with your returning to the way you were before all of these interventions started.
