Can misplacement of Juvederm ruin my skin? (photos)

Your skin would not be ruined nor stretched from your filler treatment. You can have any remaining filler dissolved with hyaluronidase if desired. Visit with your injector for an evaluation.

Hi there! Thank you for your query.
Since you had treatment 6 months it’s unlikely these signs are as a result of the procedure however if you are dissatisfied, I recommend that you revisit your practitioner for a review and check over of your before and afters. Hyaluronic acid based dermal filler is completely reversible and the product does disappear over time.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes,

Hi Andrea, I don't believe your skin is ruined; however, I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Technique is really important when working with facial fillers. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question.  Typically, fillers do not do much harm to our skin when injected properly.  In your case, it seems the placement of the fillers was not ideal for your goals and might have also been injected too superficially in some areas.  Voluma can last you up to 2 years, so I suggest that you have a follow up visit with your doctor and have him/her dissolve the unwanted filler with hyaluronidase.  This should resolve the issue you are having without causing your skin to look stretched out. Best of luck!

The inner pressure exerted by fillers on the skin prevents the skin from losing elasticity. So, it is a facial rejuvenation technique also that can smooth out folds and wrinkles, add volume or contour facial features that have lost their fulness due to aging, etc. It will not stretch the skin. Consult with your doctor to know the best treatment for you.
