Drinking alcohol will not dissolve the filler. However, due to alcohol's blood-thinning properties, it can increase the chances of bruising and swelling after the filler procedure, so you would likely have a few extra days down time afterwards. 
Make sure you let your injector know about any alcohol use or NSAID use the week before the procedure. Also, avoid drinking through a straw for the first 2 weeks after lip filler injections, to reduce the chances of the filler migrating out of place. Good luck!

Hi, I have an event scheduled the evening of my lip injection appointment. I've read that consuming alcohol after injections can increase swelling, but would it risk dissolving my lip filler and not achieving full results?

Could consuming alcohol within 24 hours of lip injections dissolve filler & not achieve full results?

Fillers in the temple area can be a great way to improve an overall more youthful appearance when addressing facial volume loss as we age. Fillers can be done safely in the temple area by a trained medical professional who is very familiar with the blood vessel anatomy in that area. Temple filler can either be injected deep against the bone with a needle, being sure to bypass any blood vessels. The other option is to use a cannula (blunt needle) which has a lower chance of piercing a blood vessel. Either way, if done carefully and with full awareness of each vessel's location throughout the procedure, temple filler can be a safe and effective way to restore facial volume. For a more permanent result, another option is a fat transfer. This procedure involves the patient's own fat from another area being injected into the temple area. If choosing the fat transfer route, a plastic surgeon would likely be the best option.

Hi there. How risky are temple fillers in the temples? Ive heard very mixed thing. There isnt such a thing as a board certified dermatologist which ive seen on American posts, and I cant seem to find an expert..

How risky are dermal fillers in temples?

Hello! It appears that these are atrophic scars on the cheeks and a few hyperpigmented scars on the chin area. These could be treated with a combination of a few different treatments such as microneedling or RF microneedling, chemical peels, or laser skin rejuvenation. Some scar subcison may be needed for the deeper scars to get the best results.

I have these scars on my face an want them gone. What procedures would help?

Hello! This could vary based on any health conditions the patient may already have or their previous responses to a vaccine. In my office, for most patients I advise them to wait at least 2 weeks after getting a COVID booster before doing PRP.

How long do I wait to do PRP after getting a Covid booster?

Keloids are more likely to form in areas such as the ears, shoulders, back, arms, and chest. Keloids are less likely to form on the face, but still a possibility. Microneedling (on the face only) might be a safe option for you if done by an experienced practitioner or dermatologist. A test patch could be done first to assess your skin's reaction to it. To prevent keloid formation after treatment, you could use a silicone-based scar gel that is safe to use on the face, and use good sun protection. 
I hope this helps! Dr. Ogbeide

There are no keloid on my face but I do scar keloid can I still do a mixroneedling facial

Prone to keloid scars, but want to do a microneedling facial - is that ok? (photo)

Botox would be best here if the deep 11 lines were only due to facial muscle movement (i.e. frowning). However if the deep lines are due to a scar that is visible even the muscles are relaxed, then Botox may be an option but it would likely need to be supplemented with something that addresses the skin composition of the scar itself.
A possible treatment course would be: 1- Botox to help reduce deepening of those 11 lines when you frown and 2- Laser treatments or Microneedling treatments to reduce the appearance of the scar itself and even out the skin surface.
Another additional treatment option would be scar subcision by an experienced practitioner, which would help to reduce the appearance of the scar as well.
A more detailed in-person evaluation of the scar would be needed to determine the right treatment course for you.
Hope this helps!

I have had a traumatic scar between my eyebrows for 25 years that look like deep 11 lines and want to know if botox would help?
