CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHi and thanks for your question,
Was this asymmetry before botox injection or happened after that .
If this is congenital you can still get benefit from combination of botox and filler injection.as this need good experience I highly recommend you to see an expert physician

Hi and thanks for your question.
Nasolabial fold are natural fold that might get deeper as we get older mostly due to sagging and relocation of the skin and soft tissue in th emidface and cheeks.
I can not see the whole face but it seems that you are a good candidate for filler injection
The best approach is usually injection of filler in the cheeks and midface to get a lift effect rather than injection to the fold directly. Filler injection always needs a good technique and experience for the injector .I highly recommend you to see an expert physician or injector.

Hi and thanks for your question,
Filler injection would be a very good non surgical option for you.
It is a minor procedure compare to surgery with very minimal downtime but the negative part is that it would be temporary and you need maintenance every few month.I would suggest to see an expert physician for consult before doing any procedure
Physician
Hi and thanks for your question.
It would be very difficult to give you the best advice just by looking at your picture .But I think you still need more volume in middle and lateral cheeks for both lifting and reshaping the face .if this is combined with Thread lift you would get a better result
injection of Botox in both masseter muscle and few sessions of skin tightening like Radiofrequency can also be helpful.
Physician
Hi and thanks for your question
The most common complications of filler injection are mild discomfort and pain when injecting, mild redness ,bruise or swelling.
Major complications like blindness or skin necrosis is extremely rare and this risk would be even less if done by an expert physician. All you have to do is to find an expert injector and the risks would be minimal
Physician
Hi and thanks for your question.
Sorry to hear that about your negative outcome . Lump and tenderness after 2 month injection needs medical attention as this can be due to different reasons such as infection or reaction to the filler
I highly recommend you to see an expert physician for consultation
Physician
Hi and thanks for your question.
I can see some irregularity on your cheek and this might be due to filler . You might get benefit from dissolving that and injection filler again but it is very difficult to give you the best advice without proper assessment.
You also are a good candidate for skin booster in the lower cheek and around the mouth area . Skin boosters are very soft filler that we can inject very superficial for skin tightening and hydration
Physician

Hi and thanks for your question.
Asymmetry in face is completely natural and more than 80 percent of people are not symmetric. We can try to make it more symmetric but most of the time is not neede . I recommend you to see and expert physician for consultation and assessment
Physician
Hi and thanks for your question.
Nasolabial fold is a natural fold but it get deeper as we get older and loosing some volume and fat in the mid face and cheeks
If you get some volume like filler injection to your mid face the nasolabial would improve .
I highly recommend you to see an expert injector for consultation and assessment

I had a great experience with his job done on my face . he was so expert and gave me the honesty advice toward my request. I He has a professional staff. And great team. Im looking forward to see him again. Tnx
Loved it! Very professional and very skilled Dr. I will recommend 100% the staff at the clinic very friendly and very nice! I had botox and fillers and the results are amazing. My next treatment I will go back to AngelglossClinic with Dr Akef.
I had done my lip augments on with Dr Akef and I really loved it . First I was really scared to do it because of so many complications I heard about this procedure . After visiting Doctor Akef , he answered all my questions patiently and with enthusiasm . He involved me in all the procedure steps which makes me really feeling comfortable and calm . I really loved the result . Really natural and amazing team . I would definitely recommend it to everyone .
This was my 4th or 5th visit to Dr Akef , every time i always check to make sure the price quoted is the price charged, but they always try to get extra as they did this time. Definitely my last visit! On top of that about 2 weeks after the treatment my eyes are super red and i have heavy bags under my eyes and always feel and look tired...it seems that he has injected to close to the hairline and or too much botox. All i can do is wait until it wears off...never again!
