How likely is it that outer orbital rim filler will migrate?

Question

I'm interested in having filler placed in my outer orbital rim and just below my outer canthus- is it likely that this will migrate? Would Botox help mitigate this by stopping contractions of certain muscles ?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. The likelihood of filler migration in the outer orbital rim area is generally low when the procedure is performed by an experienced and skilled injector. The anatomy of the outer orbital rim provides a stable foundation for the filler, which helps minimize the risk of migration.

However, individual factors such as skin type, the specific filler used, and the technique of the injector can influence this risk. It's crucial to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with facial fillers.

Regarding Botox, it may help in reducing muscle movements around the treated area, which can further minimize the risk of filler migration. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles, which can help maintain the filler in the desired position.

I recommend having a detailed consultation with your dermatologist to discuss your goals and any concerns you might have. They can provide personalized advice and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
