Temple filler was placed in the wrong place, what can I do? (Photos)

Question

i had temple filler 3 days ago and I think it's placed in a bad spot. I had it done by a plastic surgeon doctor, because I thought he would place it better. It looks worse on one side, and bunches when I smile.

E. Ronald Finger, MD · Answer

Three days is not enough time to assess injections in the temporal region because there is still may be some swelling. Some products are hydrophilic and the swell more than others.
Wait another week or so and then reevaluate. If it is a hyaluronic acid product, an enzyme can be injected into the area, and this will reduce or eliminate the lump.
Your injector should certainly have the necessary enzyme to make this happen if needed.
Thank you for your question and photographs, and best of luck to you.

Hello,Sorry to hear that.Generally: It is important to know what type of filler was injected. If it is Hyaluronic acid then filler correction by Hyaluronidase should take care of it particularly it is so just few days. Having said that I would recommend you to see your doctor because you would need to know what filler was injected and also he could examine you. He may suggest to wait few days more just to make sure the post filler injection swelling is resolved.I would like to make a suggestion that if you would like, having Botox in crows feet is going to improve your dynamic lines (when smiling) and in long term is going to help to prevent static lines and wrinkles.Hope the BestRay Bayati MDGreater Sacramento area, California
