It’s very rare for filler to cause permanent changes in the skin. Filler can cause extra swelling for the first week or two after injection. After 4-6 months, the volume starts to disappear as your body breaks down the filler. There are injections capable of breaking down filler faster if you hate it, but if your injections are less than 2 weeks old, I would wait until all the swelling goes away before you decide.
Honestly, it is hard to remove dimples with filler. I suspect the dimples will return as the filler wears off. You could have the filler reversed using hyaluronidase if need be.
Perhaps Juvederm Vollure or Restylane in a smaller amount would have been better for you. If you are really unhappy than I would suggest you have the product dissolved. Depending on what filler was placed it will go away in several months. Please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in cosmetic injections for the best results. Best, Dr. Green
I agree that is so sad .. but stretching of the skin can take the dimple away ... or decrease it . But yes they will come back as the filler effect wears off . Also the filler can be dissolved to get the dimple back .
Hi @RSMember17232! Four syringes of Voluma will overfill you. I recommend starting with one syringe directly into the nasolabial fold. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Great question. Fillers will not affect your immune system, but make sure you tell your doctor about your health status. It is vital that they use aseptic technique as you are more prone to infection risk than regular filler patients. Warm regards.
This should be fine. Please confirm with your treating doctor. Profhilo, similar to most fillers, is made of hyaluronic acid. I am not aware the Profhilo is approved for use within the United States yet. Warm regards.
There is absolutely no research or literature to support any link between fillers and cancer, and I would not be concerned. There are no long-term side effects to filler injections that are known.
Hi @MsTexas. In general, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are safe. Restylane is great choice when it comes to wrinkles around the mouth. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
