I have deep smile lines on either side of my mouth. I got Juvederm in Feb 2019, and am thinking of getting it again. However, I've read online that fillers can detrimental overtime to looking younger - that in the long run, they will cause wrinkles; something to do with the skin not being able to stretch? Id love to get a straight answer on this. Are fillers a good idea for the short AND long term, or just the short term?
Answer: Can fillers accelerate the aging process? I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that fillers will not accelerate the aging process if they are performed correctly. The filler amount is not enough to actually stretch the skin. Instead it works deep in the dermal structure to restore support and smooth away wrinkles from the inside out. Even when used for volume, these fillers will not affect the way your skin ages. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist with extensive training in injectable treatments, and I think you will see a very good result.

Answer: Fillers do not accelerate the aging process Thank you for your question and I appreciate your concern. Rest assured that use of fillers will not accelerate the aging process in any way. These products work within the dermal layers to restore support to the structure. This in turn smooths away lines and wrinkles from the inside out. Fillers do not stretch out the skin. However, they also will not stop the aging process and over time, you will notice your skin becomes more lax as a result of this natural process. For now, I would move forward with your treatment knowing it will not have any negative effect on how quickly your skin ages.

Answer: Fillers Fillers will not prevent your skin from stretching, nor will it cause your skin to age faster. The fillers will break down gradually and you will return to a look similar to what you have now. It is always a good idea to care for your skin by using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Long term effects of fillers Fillers are a great option for both long and short-term improvement. In the short-term, there is improved volume from the filler and there is some evidence that there can be collagen synthesis that helps in the long-term. In some patients, fillers can cause swelling from fluid retention as the product dissolves, but this is easily treated with hyaluronidase (filler dissolver). I have patients I have been treated with fillers for more than 10 years and it amazes me how much long-term improvement can be accomplished in these patients.
