Dermal filler in dents caused by threads?

Question

There is a doctor in my area that uses dermal filler to disguise / fill in dents and dimples caused by threads, after the thread lift. Have any other doctors heard of this practice? I am 3.5 weeks post treatment and this was used 3 times on me- i don’t like how it looks. It just made my skin look uneven in texture.

The "dimples" related to threads are occasionally seen with anchoring threads, eg. Silhouette, when a segment of thread with cone ends up too superficially. Before using filler to fill the depression I would attempt to mobilise the area by applying traction along the thread at, or near, the dimple. If successful, you would feel a "snap" of displaced cone or barb. More invasive methods would nullify the lifting effect of the threads.
