  Nasrin,
  I am NOT a doctor or qualified to give you medical advice.. but, I have seen a couple results that I did not like.. I can give you a few things that were conveyed to me.. again, this is NOT medical advice just what was given to me...DO NOT MASSAGE the area..you can cause the product to migrate and you may not like where the product goes.. it also depends on how long you have had the filler injection.. You can go back to your doctor and have him inject a saline solution to break it up but, it's not a guarantee.. it takes multiple times to do it..expect to bruise and be aggressive to break it up..also, go to a doctor and explain the situation, tell him/her that some people have used a Fraxel (SP?) laser over the area and had some results, again it must be that type of laser only to penetrate deep from what I was told...some people said that they liked it afterwards..Now, depending on what you don't like some people have other filler injected around it to fill in the ruts, if that is your problem.. It all depends on what your problem is..honestly, the best thing to do is go back to the doctor ( I hope a doctor did this) and have him call the manufacture and they will give him instructions on what to do.. they will only speak to doctors and not patients..Most good docs will want to please you and try to fix this..as they really do not want unhappy patients..there is no magical fix..just time and hopefully some things that can help.. again, this was just info conveyed to me..I hope this helps..

  I am so sorry Julie..I had not read your posts when I wrote that.. I am new to the site and just read the one above. As hard as this is for you I am happy that you are sharing this with other people so that they do not have the same outcome. I have just seen people that have went to someone "cheaper" and have had problems and I always tell them these rules now. Not everyone knows about these products.I have heard people say oh this person does it for less..again, I am sorry for your experience. I have had a procedure done to me without knowing I would have a scar and I was unhappy. This has prompted me to always tell people about things..and because I signed the consent there was nothing I could do about it.. so it kind of defeated my procedure to end up with a scar. It was not fillers but, it was my body and I was not informed it was going to happen or discussed. I was devistated when I saw it. I can somehow understand how you feel. It took years to accept it. I am ok now. The only thing I can offer you is this.. in time..it does heal the sorrow. You never forget as you know..

  I have seen good results in a lot of areas..it really is just the doctor and how you treat it once you go home, ie; not lying on it, and making sure you don't remold it out of the shape that it was formed in. I do recommend you make sure the person who injects it has been properly trained. I only go to a physcian who is trained in the nerves and muscles of the face. One of the down sides is some of the other filler's have a medication to somewhat break it down should you not like the results. I have seen most of the problem areas being under the eyes as that is a tough area to correct and takes someone very experienced and I say less is more and you can always re inject to add more. I never recommend the lips for augmentation as I would be to afraid of granuloma's but, have heard of people doing it. Remember, everyone's body is different. The upside is that if you do have a good result it can last longer. But, that is only good if you like it. I agree with how the above poster said to inject it..sounds most likely correct, I just would like to add that after you come home, I think it is still pliable and can be moved for awhile. You can very easily fall asleep and reshape it. Body heat in combination with pressure on the facial area's (cheeks, etc) can distort it and cause migration. I would suggest sleeping up right in a recliner for a few days if your a side sleeper, etc. I have seen an issue with that with someone under the eyes. And that is really hard to fix. I would not do anything drastic either.. I would wait and see how it's going to look before I would ever inject with steroids and cause atrophy in the tissue. That can cause problems forever. This filler usually goes away. I know this can be devistating and you want something done quickly but, sometimes jumping quickly can be a problem. This is one of the reason's if you go to a reputable doctor they will want to fix you and not have you go tell everyone they did this to you, etc. They will really want to make sure they have tried to fix the problem as they honestly, did not want this to happen. I can not stress the fact enough that less is more. You can always go back for a second treatment and get more because it's hard to get the extra filler out..atleast, not very easily, and this is for all fillers. I would start out very subtle and then add to it as no one wants a dramatic effect anyway because when you look at your face it creates a shock value. You are used to looking at your face daily and if it's dramatic it's hard to take. I am not saying anything against anyone who has had a nurse inject it or trained aesthetician these are just my rules. I am sure those people feel confident in injecting you. But, I do know that some people are not trained an obtain it and other injectables and offer these products at a lower rate and people unknowlingly let them and have problems. I know if a physcian injects it they are properly trained and also knows the anatomy of the face. Like I said, these are just my rules and my opinion.

  You sound very educated on the procedure of injecting fillers. I was wondering if you had any experience on how to remove or reduce Radiesse that has as you say "fly into orbit" ? We have tried the injection of saline/lidocaine 1 time a had a small improvement. Any information would be appreciated..especially anything tried and failed also..
