Fillers can look so good in the short term, but long term do they start becoming problematic, making you look worse later?

September 26, 2019
Asked By:JRachel in Boston, MA

I don't know many ppl that have been getting fillers for 10-20+ yrs. My hair dresser swears the chronic filler ladies generally look horrible, & if not horrible, like something isn't right. She says they end up having to get more & more trying to counter problems, bc the tissue is stretched & gravity pulls the filler into the wrong places, also says the chronic inflammation ages you worse. Asking for opinions/observations of long term filler effects.
