Can I go to two different injectors for different areas of my face? (Photo)

Question

Hello, would my current injector be offended? I am thrilled with my cheek and under eye filler I have received from my current injector. Unfortunately I have had 3 separate sessions for lip filler and they have just never looked great. Infact from the last appointment I now have 2 lines running vertical on my lips where I suspect the product has been placed too close to the surface. I am considering going to another practitioner for lips. Thoughts please?

​You would get a nice improvement in the tubercles and overall shape of the lips, along with the philtrum (above the lip) with lip fillers. Kysse, Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can be used to improve lift and shape. I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for.

Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and radiofrequency treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert.

Best, Dr. Emer

You, as the patient, have every right to use one injector for part of your face and to use a different injector for other parts of your face.  It would be up to you if you wanted to mention this to the first injector or not.

This is your face and you need to do what is best for you. That being said, I think that a goods physician would fully understand and might even be glad that you tried someone else, Maybe they had a hard time with  understanding exactly what you wanted. Be sure to communicate before any procedure.
