I would consider it safe to treat with Ellanse in an area which had botox 3 months agoHow does it workPolycaprolactone (PCL) is a medical polyester which has been used for medical purposes for over 50 years- found in sutures, orthopaedic implants and wound dressings. In the body, PCL is gradually broken down by hydrolysis into carbon dioxide and water by the body. The PCL microspheres used in Ellanse are designed to offer optimal biocompatibility. They have a smooth surface, a spherical shape and a size of approximately 25–50 μmCarboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a natural material derived from cellulose that is often used as a gel carrier for injectable collagen biostimulators (Ellanse, Sculptra, Radiesse). It functions to act as a medium for collagen biostimulator particles, and to provide short term volume replacement for 2-3 months.Working together, the CMC gel delivers immediate results, while the PCL microspheres act as a biostimulator, to ramp up production of your own collagen over the next 2-3 months. This improves skin elasticity and creates a more youthful appearance.
Assuming that you have consulted with a clinician,who has advised that this is something that they would recommend, I would agreethat this is a safe treatment. Botox typically lasts around 3-4 months, so Iwould suspect that the effects of the may have worn off by the time of yourtreatment.
Yes it is.Botox typically lasts 3-4 months.So if you Doctor thinks filler is a suitable choice to address your concerns, it should be OKAll the best
If your doctor thinks its a good idea then it likely is. Botox is most likely worn off after 3 months and even if it wasn't, I don't see how it could interfere with the filler's result.

Swelling after Ellanse typically improves after 2-3 days. You can apply a cold compress. In severe cases, your provider can prescribe an anti-inflammatory
Ellanse cannot be dissolved by the usual antidote for fillers (hyaluronidase). However, small injections of steroids may help to reduce the effect of Ellanse. Within 1-2 weeks of Ellanse injection it can also be masssaged out to smoothen out. The effect of Ellanse is up to two years so it should...
So sorry to hear that you have developed lumps on the forehead after Ellanse. To better assess the scenario, an in person consultation would be better for diagnosis. It is difficult to comment whether this is caused by the Ellanse or not based on photos
This looks like malar edema (swelling of the lower eyelid), possibly due to poor lymphatic drainage. This can be made worse after undereye fillers and Ellanse. Difficult to comment for sure without knowing where the Ellanse was injected and how much. For malar edema, this is typically self...
Sorry to hear that you developed nodules after Ellanse treatment. The recommended treatment for nodules or granulomas is steroid injection. It may also be worthwhile doing subcision and saline injection to "break up" the Ellanse collecting under the skin. In extreme cases, surgical removal is...
