I have spent thousands of dollars over the years trying different fillers, like Juvederm, Stylage, Revaness, Sculptra and Radiesse, in my cheek, temple and chin areas. Could there be a medical reason for this? Other than fast metabolism? These were all performed by highly skilled doctor. What are my options? I’m stumped

Answer: More info needed to answer more comprehensively. Hi Lee8383I wonder what you mean ‘why won’t my fillers last longer than 3 weeks’?To answer this comprehensively Id want to know a lot more. What were your aims with treatment? And a good doctor will also ask what you feel the psychological gains will be. Are you seeing the same doctor each time? Where were the fillers placed and what were the quantities used? All those fillers you mention are good quality ones and some semipermanent so I don’t think this is an issue with the filler brand. Yes it is true those who do vigorous exercise, smoke, consume a lot of sugar (including alcohol), sunbathe repeatedly appear to ‘metabolise’ filler quickly but studies show fillers are often still in the skin 2 years later. It is sometimes the case because of either lifestyle or genes or both one may have an accelerated ageing process so whilst the filler may still be there on imaging it’s your body that is ageing around it. Possible without your treatments you could look very different. But 3 weeks seems excessively short, if that is your perception.I would advise you stick to an ethical doctor who is willing to discuss what your physical and psychological aims are and try to help you achieve them. Wishing you all the best from Chester in the UK!Dr Maeve Kenningham
