Is this filler migration or normal skin aging? (photos)

Question

Wanting some input on what this swelling is. It’s only on one side and became apparent 4 months ago. 8 months ago I got miracu mesh thread lift for my nasolabial fold. My injector has since dissolved it twice, but the swelling returned each time. Is this filler migration? Or normal aging of the skin? I am 31 years old.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

An in person evaluation is needed to appropriately address your question.  If it is filler then further dissolving may be needed.  It should improve with time even if you do nothing as the filler is gradually metabolized.  If it's related to normal aging you can consider Morpheus8 treatments to improve overall skin tone and texture.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

persistent swelling after dissolving filler may warrant further evaluation by your injector or a qualified healthcare professional. It could be related to various factors such as filler migration, normal aging, or other considerations. It’s essential to consult with your injector or a medical professional who can assess your specific situation in person.

Best of luck !
