Can fillers move or deform after months?

Question

How they stay put in a spot/place? Can fillers move after 3-4 months? And how fillers stay put where is it injected? If the filler is placed too superficial is there a higher risk of migration or deformation?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

Thank you for your question.  Depending on where the filler is injected, there is a possibility that fillers can move.  I always suggest scheduling an appointment with an experienced doctor for optimal results.  All the best!

Dear kadbas,Thank you for your question. Hyaluronic acid fillers should not migrate but if injected superficially can form nodules or contour deformities. Free silicone injections can migrate which is why I strongly advise against them.Hope this helps,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.
