Yes, and no. Fillers add a bit of collagen to the skin so a year after the filler is placed, you might be in a bit better place than when you started. On the other hand, we all continue to age and may need more product over time to correct signs of aging. But fillers do not make things worse.
This is a common question I receive, so you're not alone in having this fear. Most conservative injections of dermal fillers will not stretch the skin to any long-term degree. Your skin is an amazing organ which will adapt with time, so as the fillers begin to "dissolve", your skin will naturally tighten, especially if you're combining injectables with other treatments (skin care products, lasers, hydrafacials, Skin Pen, etc.) to maintain healthy and vibrant skin.
We use exclusively Allergan products which do not stretch the skin, as these fillers are designed to increase voloume, fill in loose skin, and plump up skin. Take into consideration the aging process is still a factor, and sometimes people want more after getting use to fillers. Best Wishes
No, there is no evidence to suggest that fillers cause the skin to stretch. Actually, there is some evidence to suggest that HA fillers may actually stimulate some collagen production. With time, however, you may require more fillers as you age and lose collagen, elastin, fat, and bone.
Although it used to be thought that there were only a couple of collagen stimulating fillers, recent research has shown that most hyaluronic acid fillers stimulate new collagen. This means that some of every filler injected gets converted into collagen, which means that the next time you fill the area the amount needed to achieve the results achieved the last time is less than it was then. Although you continue to age, the residual effect from the last injection seems to over compensate. I have even had several patients get to the point of not returning for refilling some areas. When filling is done properly, the tissues are not stretched, only refilled.
Be careful. When injecting in the united states, only use products that our f d a approved as they have gone through vigorous testing and studies to show advocacy and safety. Lumiere from my understanding can cause more swelling compared to radiesse but mechanism similar calcium suspended in...
Hi @RingAnew. Thank you for sharing your photos. The hollowing that you are seeing is the beginning of a NLF. The appearance is normal for a twenty year old. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
Some patients may simply require additional Botox if there continues to be some movement of the muscles in between the brows. If it is due to volume loss then fillers can be used but this area is associated with an increased risk in serious adverse events. I would start with PDO threads to...
There are a couple things you can do to improve your discoloration... there is a skin care treatment I use on my patients before we use laser, pixel, or chemical peels, to help bring the skin to an even tone. It usually needs a few skin cycles to see major improvement, each skin...
Hi @prettycandy. I'm sorry you are not happy with your results. If a Hyaluronic Acid filler was used, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
Hi @TooNic3! I recommend starting with 1 syringe per session. Regular Restylane and Belotero work great for the tear trough. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications....
