It's been 10 days since I had filler I'm my temples and it's still lumpy. Plus I now have dents and grooves where I didn't before. Shall I go back and ask for filler using a blunt canulla instead. It's look like a smoother treatment?
Answer: Removal of unwanted fillers on the face Facial fillers using Hyaluronic acid can cause immediate swelling and uneven contour. The swelling usually subsides with time. I recommend applying Plato's Bruise Balm twice daily for a few days after injecting my patients. If the filler lumps do not resolve, then a small injection of Hylenex usually can correct an HA filler that is overdone. If Hylenex does not work, combination injections with verapamil or corticosteroid IIT may help. In some cases, Venus Viva RF can help tighten skin thereafter.

Answer: Unhappy with filler for temples--wait 2 weeks, reverse with hyalurondiase It takes 1-2 weeks for final results of fillers. If you were injected with an HA filler and you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. Cannulas will limit complications. Sculptra is an alternative for the temples. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fillers for temples Hi Sarah, it would be helpful to know what type of filler was used for your temples. HA fillers will even out in 2-4 weeks. But if you had Radiesse or Sculptra, it would be quite a while before those bumps go away and you might need to go back to your provider for a follow up. Cannula technique is much more comfortable for the patient and allows even and deeper deposition of the product. Hope this helps. Best,Dr.Avaliani

Answer: Temple hollow filler Sarah You may still have swelling at this time, but it would be appropriate to contact your injector. Even very experienced injectors who use primarily cannula technique will still use a straight needle technique in this region, placing the filler directly at the periostium (bone surface), for the most natural looking lift.

Answer: Wait a little longer before deciding Because you are most likely experiencing residual swelling, 10 days is premature to determine the quality of your results. Cannulas are used to improve the safety of the treatment, but do not necessarily improve the smoothness of the results. If the filler was a hyaluronic acid based filler, such as Restylane or Juvederm, then you may benefit from an injection of Hyaluronidase, an enzyme which can reduce some of the filler lumps that are the most pronounced. Regardless, you should wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before determining the quality of your results. You should follow-up with the physician who administered the treatment you are referring to.
