Four Questions on Face Fillers?
I'm 51. With the assumption, that I am a good candidate for both fillers for marionette lines and Nasolabial... 1-Of all the face fillers, (incluidng fat) in worse case scenario, which ones can be reversed? 2-If they can't be reversed, which one has the least amount of waiting period before it disappears in the face? 3-Is there a way to test a filler first (small sample) or use another substance to see some results-I heard of saline? 4-Do you suggest trying a face filler before going with fat?

Great questions. Any of the hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed. This would include Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm. I would certainly go with any of these before trying fat especially for the areas you want injected. Fat would be more appropriate for full face volumizing. It is a fairly simple thing to have saline injected into the areas as a trial to see how it might look - it will of course disappear overnight. I hope this answers your questions.
