3 months post op - Should I consider dissolving my dermal filler? Concerned about smile changing (photos)

September 30, 2022
Asked By:againsttime in Los Angeles, California

End of June, over the course of a 2 week period, I received several treatments: - Botox on forehead and outer eyes - Microtox on cheeks to close pores - Botox on masseter muscles - Under eye/cheek filler - Chin filler I stopped being able to smile properly about 4 weeks after the treatments. The doctor is saying it’s due to the masseter Botox and swelling, but now I am 3 months out and wondering if it could be due to the fillers? Should I get them dissolved?

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
