Today I got 1 ml of restylane lyft injected in my chin. I have an appointment with a different doctor to get probably half a syringe of restylane in my lips next Monday. I have another appointment the week after that to get more restylene in my chin. Is this too much filler too close together or should I be fine?
Answer: Filler Overload This is a great question! The answer actually varies depending on filler type and where the filler is placed. In general, you can certainly overload a patient with too much filler, which can lead to swelling and some discomfort afterwards .Putting too much in the lip (more than 2 syringes), for example, in one sitting can really swell the lips and possibly lead to granulomas or tissue trauma. However, our office (as do many others) offers a filler facelift called the "Q-Lift", which can often involve 10+ syringes in 1 sitting. You would first want to make sure you go to a certified medical professional who is highly skilled at injecting if you were wishing for a number of areas treated. Regardless, the amount that you are planning on is not too much at all. I often use 2 syringes in the chin alone in one sitting and will do the lips as well same day. As I mentioned, the only anticipated down side is more swelling and possibly more bruising post-injection. Good luck and I hope you liked your results!

Answer: Multiple Dermal Fillers Thank you for your question. It is okay to receive filler over a shorter time period in different treatment areas. Allow proper time for any swelling and inflammation to decrease in the area as it may interfere proper assessment prior to treatment. If possible, try and stay with the same provider for consistency. I hope this is helpful! Katherine, PA-C
