Hi and welcome to our forum! At one year out after hyaluronic acid filler injection, there still may be some filler present....and you appear to be demonstrating a late reaction to it. I recommend that your return to your provider's office for evaluation and treatment. Best wishes...

• Got hyaluronic acid filler 1 year ago • Never had cold sore but noticed red patch on lip 2 months ago - it didn't blister up like a cold sore and didn't go away • Yesterday my whole top lip became itchy, red and swollen. Could this be because of the filler? I am scared of necrosis or something. • I've included pic 1 before lip filler, pic 2 after lip filler looking normal, pic 3 a couple of months ago when the redness started, and pic 4 is my lip now. Please help, thank you.

What's wrong with my lip? I had hyaluronic acid filler 1 year ago

Lip Fillers

Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photos, I note a transverse "roll" of skin of the lower eyelid associated with a droop of the lid. Injection of Botox by itself does not cause eyebags. However, if there was significant swelling / bruising after your procedure, you may have developed adhesions, preventing upward movement of the lower lid. Continue follow up with your surgeon as you may ultimately become a candidate for a scar release. 15% of cosmetic surgeries can be improved through secondary revision. Best wishes...

I had Botox for crows feet 6 months ago. After the injections I developed a eye bag under one of my eyes that has yet to go away. I have photos from that morning with no eye bag so I feel certain it was the Botox that caused it. Upon recommendations I have tried various lymphatic drainage options, taking antihistamines, ice rollers, but nothing seems to be working. I was hopeful it would go away after the Botox wore off but no luck. Any thoughts are appreciated!

What can I do to remove eye bag that was caused by Botox? 6 month out (photos)

Hi and welcome to our forum! It is important to know how long it has been since your procedure as complete nerve regeneration may take 18-24 months (or occasionally even longer!). Neuropraxia involves a transient loss of nerve conductivity following injury but no loss of nerve physical continuity. It will usually begin to resolve within 6 weeks. Axonotmesis occurs if the nerve is disrupted but its sheath is intact. Nerve regeneration will occur over time, but the end result may be imperfect. Neurotmesis is complete nerve transection. There will be no return of function. Electrodiagnostic tools are available to differentiate among these entities. If neurotmesis is diagnosed, repair is indicated. Otherwise, one will usually recommend watchful waiting for signs of functional return, which will occur slowly over time. As you are demonstrating signs of partial return of function (assuming it has been less than several years since your procedure), I recommend continued follow up care with your surgeon. Facial exercises in front of a mirror may be of benefit. Botox is a muscle paralyzer. I don't recommend its use while you are still recovering from your last procedure. Best wishes...

I underwent Accutite for my jowls along with Morpheus on my lower face/neck. For 6 weeks I was left with the inability to properly move my upper right lip when puckered or pronounced “O” and “P” words. It is slowly improving but I am now experiencing assymmetry. There is a dimple forming and my nasal labial fold is higher on the “paralyzed” side. I can also still feel some tenderness next to my nose. My right nostril doesn’t flare the same as the left. I’ve done a round of steroids. What’s next?

A buffalo hump is a posterior fat repository (dorso-cervical fat pad) at the junction of the neck and thorax. Botox is a temporary muscle paralyzer and is used to minimize facial wrinkles, treat migraine headaches, and treat muscular spasm. It will not shrink a buffalo hump. However, injectable kybella may be of benefit as a non-surgical alternative to surgery. If large, however, surgical removal is recommended. Botox is used to treat patients who suffer from torticollis, a spasmodic condition which results in a shortened neck. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion. Best wishes...

I recently read that Botox can be used to elongate your neck area...can it also be used to reduce a small buffalo hump?

Can Botox be used to minimize the appearance of a small buffalo hump on the back?

Hi and welcome to our forum! From your photo, I note a well healed slightly depressed scar placed almost completely within the left nasolabial fold which creates a subtle contour deformity on the skin surface which casts shadows upon oblique lighting. Your skin demonstrates signs of early aging. To lessen its appearance, intradermal and subdermal injection of a tissue filler, will "level" out the fold and the scar. The result is temporary, lasting about 6 months and may be repeated as necessary. As aging continues over the years, the lines may gradually deepen and worsen over time, ultimately requiring a facelift. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion. Best wishes...

Hi, I don’t overly have a problem with nasiolabial folds, just a deep set wrinkle that is worse on one side (with also a little scar making it look longer) hoping to know which is the best route to go. Microneedling? Botox? I’m very unsure. Thankyou

Which procedure would deliver the best results to help minimize the appearance of wrinkles in the nasolabial folds? (photo)
