Thank you for bringing your question to RealSelf! You should wait at least two weeks after having dermal fillers injected before having any facial treatments done. Most fillers are composed of a hyaluronic acid gel, that can be malleable for several days after placement. You can also experience swelling and/or bruising for up to two weeks after filler placement, and treatments like facials, peels, or exfoliation can exacerbate this. Good luck from NJ!
Thank you for bringing your question to RealSelf! There are several things you can do to address the lines at the corners of the mouth. We recommend starting with a Hyaluronic Acid filler, such as Juvederm Ultra Plus. This will help to fill in the depression, but also add support beneath the skin, which allows it to lift beneath the line. These results can last anywhere from 6-12 months. If you are happy with those results, you may want to consult a plastic surgeon to determine if a more permanent, surgical solution would be a treatment option for you.
Thank you for bringing your question to RealSelf! While some discomfort is to be expected when beginning Invisalign, it shouldn't be characterized as pain. Minor adjustments can be made to Invisalign trays. You should call your dentist right away to have this done, so you don't become discouraged from wearing your aligners and getting the best possible results.
Hello Amani, Thank you for bringing your question to the RealSelf Forum! I recommend seeing a general dentist that is certified in Invisalign treatment, so that he or she can take a comprehensive approach to your treatment. There have been many advances in Invisalign treatment over the past 15 years, and they can now treat any alignment or bite issues that would be treated by traditional orthodontics. By seeing a general dentist, you can also address any restorative issues that may exist. Always check the credentials of your provider to ensure that he or she is well qualified and experienced to treat the types of concerns that you have. Best Regards, Dr. Rada Meytin
Thank you for bringing your question to the RealSelf forum! Before undertaking a treatment this extensive, I would recommend getting a second opinion. Seeing that you have made such a major investment in your treatment already, it may be wise to explore a more conservative approach. Be sure that you are seeing an experienced professional, that is well-versed in all aspects of your desired treatment. Best Regards, Dr. Rada Meytin
