Chin filler dissolved 3 months ago, now the area is red and uneven. When can I add more filler to recontour the area? (photos)

Question

I have just started accutane treatment, 20 mg/week so the skin is very sensitive now. Is it safe to add fillers or should I have to wait. And for how long please( the filler used was stylage L)

Hi Lolig, great question. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it's possible that the redness is from the accutane irritation and not from the dissolved filler. There's not a set time you have to wait, but I would hold off until your skin is less sensitive.

Hi there,

I see that you have some unevenness.  It would be in your best interest to wait like 3 months after Accutane.    You don't want any scarring on that area.  Better to be safe than sorry!

Best of luck!
