We suggest going in for a follow up consultation to discuss options. If possible, it may be best to see the injector who performed your previous treatment.
Without seeing the area it is hard to suggest treatment options. The filler may need to be dissolved.
There are a few factors that play into potential swelling, including the area (lips swell more than other areas), and technique used by your injector (needle vs cannula)
We typically experience minimal to moderate swelling with Juvederm Ultra. I have worked with Emervel Lips in the past and found the swelling to be about the same, when done in the same technique and area, as compared to Juvederm Ultra.
Hello!
Number one, ensure you are on a good pharmaceutical grade skincare line, and are using antioxidants, SPF and chemical exfoliants (such as Retinol) to prevent any fine lines from getting worse and to help with the overall skin quality. Skincare should always be your first line of defense for preventing the signs of aging!
Secondly, yes dermal fillers can be used to help restore lost volume in the cheeks or in the nasolabial folds themselves.
Other treatment options you may be interested in might include: Microneedling, chemical peels, RF, laser resurfacing.
I also strongly advise you to choose your provider based on expertise, experience and results rather than price point :) Find a qualified professional in your area and go for a consultation to ensure their treatment style aligns with your goals. At our clinic in Kelowna BC we recommend starting with a consultation prior to booking a treatment appointment.
Hello! I would agree with the recommendation by your injector. Building structure in the cheeks is important to support the tear trough area. Often times working with cheek fillers the tear troughs will improve even without adding filler to the tear trough directly.
In our clinic, we almost always add cheek filler prior to doing tear troughs.
