Hi there! I really love my facial fillers but have anticipatory anxiety and have become overwhelmed with the idea that I wont be able to have a longterm relationship with fillers, which is what I want. Are the safe and reasonable to continue long term? Thank you greatly.

Answer: Fillers I have many patients who are unable to have surgery and are on “permanent” filler regimens. Fillers keep improving and you may be able to use some of the newer, long lasting ones to great success.

Answer: Continued Use of Facial Fillers There should be no problems with continuing facial fillers. There are 2 things you need to know about them, however, and an alternative. First, though we did not think so initially, we now know that essentially all fillers are collagen stimulators. Sculptra and Radiesse were thought to be the only ones that created new collagen, but hyaluronic acid fillers have now been shown to do so also. This means that for any one problem, you never have to fill it with the same amount you did the last time to achieve the same result, meaning that you can concentrate some effort elsewhere. Secondly, the newer fillers like Juvederm Voluma last significantly longer than previous fillers. In the cheek, I have had it last over 4 years in a number of people. As for the alternative, there is always your own fat, which is a "permanent" alternative, meaning that you will lose some, but only that that you would have done naturally. Either way, you need an an expert.
