Answer: I don't like my results. I need more injections, but I don't want to pay. What do I do? This is not an uncommon scenario, but thankfully is not common either. With all of my patients, I always try to explain that all fillers are not completely predictable, some being less predictable than others. For this reason, I charge patients for the amount of product that is used. I give an estimated amount for the first treatment. In most cases, that is all that is needed. In others, more is needed than expected. Some will need a touch-up syringe at a later date, for which I do charge patients for the additional syringe usedand this is made clear at the time of the consultation. I make no guarantees to patients, nor can I, regarding the final outcome and the patient's satisfaction and this too is made clear at the time of the consultation. It is always best to under-treat someone rather than over-treat. You can always add more product, but removing product is not always so simple (depending upon the product used).In many cases, any minor asymmetry noticed will resolve over 1-2 months as the product and any possible swelling settle down, and it is not uncommon for surgeons to recommend waiting. I understand that many want instant perfection, but sometimes being a little patient and less aggressive pays off with huge dividends.Reviewing pre-treatment photographs is very important to see the difference before treatment and after. It sometimes takes a little finessing to get things just right. The good new is that usually with future treatments things usually go much smoother as you will find the recipe that works best for you. Good luck!Dr. Bader
