I've read conflicting answers. I'm specifically interested in fillers for under-eye hallows and cheeks. I recently had my first treatment at age 40, with a touch up two weeks later. I am happy with the mild improvement. Between both treatments, 3 total syringes were used. ( Restylane regular and lift) Is it better to continue a maintenance like this especially if I'm not interested in invasive procedures in the future? Or will fillers make my wrinkles or my face age faster in the long term.
Answer: Do fillers cause you to look older in the long term? Tear trough injections No, fillers will not make you prematurely age. As a matter of fact, I recommend patients start anti-aging treatments earlier rather than later. Fillers are a great choice to temporarily improve tear troughs. Hope this helps.

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk)--add Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP These fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk) are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fillers making you look older Hello. The answer to your question is no. Fillers do not cause individuals to look older or age faster. They in fact, give support to the structures of the face and help prevent sagging. Nontheless, we have all seen individuals that have that "done" look, where over time there face can appear different, and in many cases distorted because of the over use and misuse of fillers. Care should be taken to find an injector who will be honest with you and not over inject when not indicated. Fillers delay the effects of aging; emphasis on the word "delay". At some point you may become a candidate for more aggressive treatment modalities.

Answer: Fillers Fillers should not make your wrinkles or your face age faster. Filler simply add volume to areas that are volume depleted. Continuing with maintenance is a good idea, but make sure you find an injector that you trust and who will be honest with you. The injector should be able to say "no" when you are not in need of filler, or if the addition of filler would look strange. It is most important to find a physician who will analyze your face to determine where volume is needed.

Answer: Fillers absolutely do not cause you to age in the long term in fact the opposite is true. Thank you for your question! Fillers absolutely do not cause you to age in the long term in fact the opposite is true. Many patients actually wrap their own collagen around filler which supports the face in an upright position and keeps them looking more youthful in the long run. I would maintain the results especially if you want to avoid surgery.
