Face cupping after Cheek Filler - will cupping move the filler under the skin?

Jubilant346668Feb 6, 2022
I have had 0.5ml of cheek filler injected in each cheek around 6 months ago, i love the result and had no complication so far. Lately i discovered facial cupping, i tend to have a very puffy face in the morning and it helps a lot, but im a bit worried if the cupping might actually move the filler under the skin which might result in some weird migration, Is that a risk ? Thanks !

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
