I scuba dive and swim 1-3 times a week and typically wear a standard mask and sometimes wear a full face mask. I am usually cleared to wear the mask 1-2 days after Botox or lip filler, but the standard face mask will put pressure on the area injected. I have seen everything from 2 days to 2 weeks wait time recommended online. How long should I wait after the procedure to dive and how long to swim in the pool?
I had under eye hyaluronic acid filler (HLA collection) to help conceal under eye bags. I first had the filler injected about 6 months ago, and then I had two additional sessions after that to inject a little more to even out both sides. I have recently noticed that when I smile, there is now a large crease on the left side of my face. This was not there before. I have contacted my original injector but am waiting to hear back. I feel very self conscious about this. Any feedback about what could be causing this crease (over-filling, migration, incorrect placement, etc) would be much appreciated. I have also noticed what appears to be the Tyndall effect.

I received RHA Redensity in my under eyes in Sept 2023. Shortly after I had a Tyndall effect and began dissolving. Fast forward to almost a year later, one eye is still puffy. I have received hylenex 5 times by different injectors which all used a cannula. Could the cannula be missing the filler or is my lymphatic system compromised? It has really been affecting my confidence.
I had Voluma and RHA4 injections a few months ago in my cheeks and chin. Problems treated were indentations under my eyes (malar bags), loss of volume in cheeks, lift for nasolabial folds, and added length to chin. I got amazing results, but Im not sure if it was the Voluma or the RHA4 that helped the most. Im going back for more next month and can only afford one syringe and dont know what to go with. I want to continue to treat the malar bags, nasolabial folds, and add more cheek volume.
I had RHA2 injected into my lips 2 years ago and about 3 months ago I woke up with my wet/dry border lumpy and irritated. The redness went away after a couple of days, but the lumps remain. The redness and irritation is back again and its really annoying, could it be a late onset reaction?
My mouth area has always been raised compared to the rest of my face and got 0.5ml radiesse in each cheek a month ago and it hasnt done a thing for my nasolabial area. In fact, I have a wrinkle in my skin in that area and its making me insecure because Im so young. What are my options? I have even included a picture of me pulling my skin up to show that adding more cheek filler would not help at all. It feels like my actual muscle is tight there
I've read that RHA Collection fillers can last up to 15 months, giving them more longevity than many other HA fillers on the market. How else do they differ from brands like Restylane and Juvederm? What are the pros and cons, in your experience?
