Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated.  Though there is not a generic form of fillers it would be wise to ensure that you are treated with the appropriate filler from its US approved manufacturer, in your case Allergan.  As far as your results, allow at least two weeks to pass before assessing your long-term outcome.  Hang in there!

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

If it's Juvederm like - then it is not permanent. You may also just be swollen if this is a recent injection. My concern is for "generic" form of Juvederm. You should be sure your injector/doctor is getting the real product and not a counterfeit product which could be dangerous. You should not go to injectors who are not using real products. Always go to expert injectors.

Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

No, if it's Juvederm, it isn't permanent. I'm not sure when you had your injection, but you may have swelling which can last 1-2 weeks after your procedure. If you're unhappy with your final result, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. No, Juvederm is not permanent. You do not mention when you had your injection, but you can still be experiencing swelling. All swelling can last up 2 weeks after injection. If after 2 weeks you are unhappy with your results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. If you have any further concerns it is best to contact your treating physician.

It is illegal in the US to use products not approved to be used. I never heard of generic fillers before.
