Nasolabial folds fillers: What are the downsides in having these injections?

June 19, 2014
Asked By:xzcv in Miami, Florida

Can the filler form an unsightly beaded pattern under the skin that may not go away ? Also, if too much filler is added to one side, can it be injected with another substance to decrease the non-symmetrical appearance? Or, is one stuck with the appearance after the original injection? Also, what happens to one's smile? Meaning that--will the filler shift under the skin a little when a person smiles causing a distorted smile appearance than before?
