There is really no best filler. There are however, better fillers for specific areas of your face. There is variability in thickness to the fillers which allows them to last a little longer than other fillers, however, you wouldn't want to put a bulkier filler in thin skinned areas like under the eyes or in the lips. Most fillers will last anywhere from 1-2 years and most are hyaluronic acid (HA) based fillers. There are five year fillers, but generally most will start with the HA fillers first as they are more easily reversible if you do not like the result. You can then use a longer lasting filler if you desire a longer effect or you can consider surgical intervention to get a more permanent result. I would recommend having a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon in order to have a comprehensive review of what would work best for your areas of concern.
Hello, thank you for your question. Radiofrequency would not affect the eye itself given the location of your past treatment. It can affect the fat that is in proximity to the eye yielding a slightly different appearance. The eye is surrounded by fat compartments. It may have changed the appearance of the tear trough area which could be what you are noticing. It likely would not have affected the upper lid fat compartments. I also would say that it would not increase your pupil size and shape. This may need to be observed by an ophthalmologist if there are any concerns. I do not however, think that this would be on account of radio frequency. If you have questions about your concerns, I would follow up with your original place of treatment or any facial plastic surgeon for a consultation.
I have a couple of questions for you to think about....Was this your first treatment with your injector? Have you had a chemical lift before? If the answers to the questions are yes and no respectively, then I would see your provider to allow them to make small adjustments to the brow position and to the treatment areas. This will also allow them to see where to alter your treatment plan for the next visit and tailor it more to you. If you get the treatment tailored specifically to what works for you, then you will likely be much happier in the long run, but this can not happen if you do not allow your injector to make small alterations in your treatment plan. If they are not willing to work with you, then I would look for a new injector. Most providers will want to work directly with their patients to ensure the best treatment they can provide.
It can be normal to experience heaviness for a short time after having a neuromodulator or “muscle relaxer” placed. Sometimes you can avoid that heaviness sensation by placing it in areas that will not cause things like brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis or other unwanted side effects. It does not sound like you had an excess injected and likely this sensation will subside. It is hard to answer directly as I do not know where the injector placed the product. I would visit your provider and see if eyedrops are necessary for possible lid ptosis or if this is just truly a heaviness sensation which can be normal. Please do not hesitate to call your provider. They would want to see you if there are any concerns.
It appears that you have the dreaded "spock" appearance. Do not worry, this is easy to fix with additional Botox to the forehead over the lateral brow area. If you return to your provider, they can very easily address this for you. I always recommend for my patients to treat their 11's and forehead areas secondary to results like this. Sometimes, you can get the creation of other wrinkles by only treating partial areas as well.
