I'm 45, over the last 13 years I've had fillers. Can cheek fillers CAUSE bulging forehead veins? (photo)

I'm 45, over the last 13 years I've had fillers. Years ago I started having bulging forehead veins. I was told it was genetic & nothing to be done. But it confuses me, no one in my family has these. I remember my original injector placed a lot of filler in my cheek areas, incl right next to my nose (see photo). When I smile I still feel pressure there. I'm wondering if the filler created pressure that smiling pushes onto the veins and -bulge. Still dissolvable?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion...
