Yes, fillers can be used to reduce the resting ‘eleven’ lines that appear between the eyebrows. Fillers work by filling in the creases in the skin by re-supporting the lost tissue both within and below the skin. Another alternative is to use Botox in combination with fillers. Patients sometimes prefer this because it can allow the fillers to last longer. It is important to keep in mind that applying fillers in the eleven-lines area is riskier and more difficult than using fillers in other areas, so it is best to select a physician that is dedicated exclusively to providing cosmetic injectables.
Based upon your age, photo and the description you presented, you seem to be an excellent candidate for facial support and lifting from cosmetic fillers. You are correct when you say that that, due to the hormonal changes and weight changes during pregnancy, there may have been a loss of support below the skin, leading to increased skin sagging. Cosmetic fillers have a distinct advantage in most cases in that they are not permanent, can be adjusted annually to maintain natural results of skin support, and don't require surgery. If your goal is to replace what was lost then using the proper fillers is an excellent choice. Remember, it’s always best to get filler treatments from an experienced provider who specializes exclusively in injectables.
Because you are most likely experiencing residual swelling, 10 days is premature to determine the quality of your results. Cannulas are used to improve the safety of the treatment, but do not necessarily improve the smoothness of the results. If the filler was a hyaluronic acid based filler, such as Restylane or Juvederm, then you may benefit from an injection of Hyaluronidase, an enzyme which can reduce some of the filler lumps that are the most pronounced. Regardless, you should wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before determining the quality of your results. You should follow-up with the physician who administered the treatment you are referring to.
Yes, cosmetic fillers can be used to enhance the contours of your facial features. This is best done with firm fillers, such as Radiesse or Sculptra. The goal is to improve the definition of the face without making the face round or puffy. Kybella may also be beneficial to lessen the under chin fat (double chin). To get the best outcome, it is always best to select a dedicated injectable specialist whose sole focus is on facial injectables.
Yes, the upper lip position can be enhanced and lifted with cosmetic fillers. The secret lies in matching the appearance of the upper lip with the areas surrounding the mouth.Some clients may only need to treat the upper lip in order to achieve their desired results while other patients may benefit from treating both the upper lip and the area above the upper lip, the nasolabial folds (smile lines,) and the lower lip as well. The key is to consider the entire face as opposed to only considering/treating the lip itself. A physician who specializes solely in cosmetic injectables is advisable.
