Can fillers placed on the bone migrate?

Question

Hello, I read a couple of studies who showed with MRI that fillers move (''migrate'') throughout the face as time goes by. When fillers are placed on the periosteum (ie cheek bone), does it moves too or does it say there, like it's ''implanted'' on the bone? Thank you.

fillers do not migrate when placed properly on bone. I suggest you see an expert for treatment if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Fillers, when used by a proper technique, should not migrate whatsoever. Fillers that are placed around the orbit frequently do migrate because of the orbicularis oculi muscle pump action. It is the direction oh the cannula used that determines if the filler will migrate and the plastic surgeon with lots of experience in such techniques knows what needs to be done so as to avoid the unwanted migration. I have been using fillers for over 26 years and never once had a patient in whom the filler had migrated. If you go to a non-plastic surgeon who has taken a simple one day course in fillers, you will suffer the consequences. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
