A doctor in Australia has tested fillers on an MRI machine and apparently it last even up to 5 years! It can also migrate over the years he said. People tend to want to refill then, but they will end up with bigger faces in the long run. He also said no more than 1 ml should ever be used all over face in one go. And marionette fillers do not work! Thoughts please.
Answer: Fillers, Setting the Record Straight Fillers last differently in different people and different fillers also last differently. I have found that Juvederm Voluma routinely lasts longer than it’s reported 2 years. In fact, I have frequently seen effects for over 4 years. The average for Radiesse was 18 months, but it frequently lasted 3 years. Any filler can migrate, but this usually happens right after Injection and is frequently due to the method of injection or massage or pressure on the area right after the injection. The amount of filler needed is dependent on the problem and can require less than a ml or a very large amount. The under eyes can almost never be done with less than 1ml per side. I have used over 30 ml of fat to obtain the desired result in some people with significant volume loss. Many injectors, myself among them, do not like injecting the marionette lines since it tends to make the face look more square than the triangle of youth. However, if you have filled the cheeks and there is still a marionette line, some filler there can be helpful. When reading something like you did, you have to realize it is just one person’s opinion and must be considered in light of other evidence.
