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!
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
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.
The lip fillers will all go away with time. There is no generic Juvederm. The problem is that the normal anatomic landmarks were not attended to and the lips just look likes a sausage. I would seek out another opinion to see if it can be fixed with more filler or needs to be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your concerns. Although treatments with Botox is unlikely to harm your fetus, it should be avoided until after delivery. Discuss this further with your obstetrician.Good luck,
Filler questions No matter how you line it up one cc always equals 1 cc. The syringe (plastic) may take up different volumes but if a company prepares one cc tha is what they are selling , You can spread it anyway you want but it will always equal 1 cc. A better way to think of 1 cc is 1/ ...
Thanks for your photos. This could be Tyndall or the veins you mentioned in your comments. I suggest you have your injector give the appropriate diagnosis and consult about using a vascular laser if the veins are playing a major role. If Tyndall is the cause then it might benefit you to have the...
I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
You filler material is deeper in the the tissues of the lips. It's not possible for the waxing to have dissolved your filler. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
Thanks for this question. I also see small lumps that is consistent with the filler material. Juvederm is not my preference in the tear trough, but I like silk instead. The veins will likely become less noticeable over time, but may need treatment with laser one day. Speak with your injector a...
