There are many factors that can change the amount of filler you will need.  Often we use 1-2 per side.   If your injector is using a deep injection technique you will need more than a superficial technique with a cannula.   Radiesse is not a filler we use in our practice in this area as it is not as safe as an HA filler.  Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for your question and photo.  While a neck lift will most likely give you the best results, there are many non surgical options on the market that can help with skin laxity in the lower face and neck.   I recommend you find a facial plastic surgeon who can help you explore all your options.  In our practice we use face/neck tight, ultherapy, and RF microneedling.   Best of luck to you!

If it is still there after 2 weeks you should follow up with your injector.  Often it is a bruise or blood in the lip.   Gentle massage can help; be sure to check with your injector before doing this.  Best of luck.  

Yes you can have filler again.  I recommend waiting until you are fully healed from the occlusion.  Best of luck to you.  

The choice for filler is dependent on the patient.   There is no one answer for filler, or where it should be placed.   Ultra Plus doesn't last as long as Voluma and is often lost below the cheek muscle and fat pads, while Voluma has a higher G prime and provides much more lift. 

We encourage our patients to avoid dental work 2  weeks prior to any treatment.  If the dental work is after filler we ask you to wait 4 weeks.   Best of luck to you.  

I agree with my colleagues below.  Insomnia is not a side affect of filler injections.  Please follow up with your provider to help ease some of your anxiety over the procedure.   Best of luck to you! 

Thank you for your question.  On darker skin types we prefer the use of RF microneedling.   Halo can be done, but it's difficult to treat darker skin types with aggressive settings so you need to do it many times.   Best of luck to you. 

I agree with my colleagues below.   It appears that your provider over lapped the middle portion.  Looking at your settings they are on the high side for chest to start with.     Over time the redness will fade.   Continue to protect it from the sun.   I also, like the Sente Dermal Repair for redness. Best of luck!

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I recommend following up with your provider or a board certified Dermatologist.   Your skin post HALO/BBL on day one is not common.   We do these treatments very frequently have not seen this type of results.   Best of luck to you.
