Q Collagen filler and autoimmune disease, advice?
A

Thanks for the excellent question. Patients with autoimmune diseases are very often treated with bovine collagen without any issues at all. You are correct in that you are at an increased risk of adverse reactions due to having autoimmune disease, but it is by no means guaranteed to happen. If patients are going to react to the product, they will often react soon after injections, although it is still possible to have a delayed reaction years later, but this is rare. If you were already injected and have not experienced any adverse reactions thus far, I would not lose sleep over it as you will likely not have a reaction. If by chance you do react to the product, there are treatment options to help with this. Best of luck to you!

Q What is a reliable, permanent and non-invasive method to increase collagen in the face?
A

Unfortunately there are currently no treatments on the market that are "permanent" and non-invasive. The only permanent "filler" option would be implants (i.e. cheek implants) but this option is invasive as it requires surgery. It also doesn't stimulate collagen, but mimics your collagen. Even fat grafting to the face isn't permanent since that fat breaks down over time, too. There are longer lasting fillers that stimulate your own collagen production on the market such as Bellafill and Sculptra, however these only last a few years.

We are constantly losing collagen as we age, and unfortunately there is no way to stop this process. Skincare products such as vitamin C, tretinoin, and sunscreen can help to decrease collagen loss and increase collagen production, however these are not permanent as even this collagen will break down over time.  

Your best option is going to be dermal fillers combined with a proper skincare regimen. Hope this helps!

Q Jawline and chin fillers: Will fillers help give it more of a heart shape like in the picture? (photos)
A

Thanks for the question! Yes, it is possible to use filler in the chin and jawline area to achieve the results seen in this photo; however without seeing your exact face and bone structure, it is difficult to give you a definite answer of how well this can be achieved for you. I recommend having a consult with an experienced injector to see if you're a good candidate for this. Best of luck!
