Do PRP injections have the same risks as fillers when accidentally injected into a vessel? Looking to try the Vampire Facelift.

December 10, 2020
Asked By:cosmic00 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 37 and starting to see some volume loss under my eyes, temples, lips and lower face (which I assume is due to loss of cheek volume). The volume loss is also making my asymmetries more noticeable (it was never noticeable before 35). I'm not a fan of fillers but did start using Xeomin for brow lift and lip flip recently. It has made a difference in balancing the asymmetry. I would like to find the least toxic and sustainable solution for volume loss which is why I'm considering PRP injections.
