Had HA fillers several times dating from 2/10-3/11. Resty and Juve. Now (close to 4 years later) having a horrible reaction. Lumpy appearance, inflammation. Drs claim no way there is still filler. Had ultrasound done. The filler is still there and has migrated all over my face. His Stuff last forever and moves! I don't know why the doctors claim this stuff goes away in 6 months. It doesn't. And it DOES migrate. I have the ultrasound proof. All the dr answers saying "you must not have had an ha filler then". There is no way that all of us on the site saying he product lasted so long got duped into having a different filler. I have lot numbers and labels from syringes and have verified them with the companies.

Hello!!! I personally work with Restylane and Juvederm hylouronic acid filler. If it is truely these products, it will last at least one year to maybe a year and half. This is a semi permanent product and it absorbed by the body little by little. I tell my patients to really investigate the fillers before deciding to apply it. It is important to understand how the product works, how long it lasts and the side effects. If you still have lumps it could be a permananet filler. I no longer use them because they leave lumpy areas and while the face ages the location of the filler can change.

Thanks for the input. However, not to be rude, but if you even begin to take a look at this site you will find many, many of us who have had juvederm or restylane and it is not going away. The product I was injected with was restylane purchased directly from medicis. I have the labels from the product as well as he box tops or whatever it was which were used to mail in for a rebate. The same product was put in my lips as was the other areas. My lips have gone down drastically (I looked like a clown initially). So obviously it wasn't permanent there. With all due respect, you doctors are all on here saying it only lasts a year. Again, with the large number of us saying that is untrue, I highly doubt we ALL got tricked into getting a different product. Maybe it's time the doctors stop just taking the companies' words for the length of time the stuff actually stays and start taking a look at all the patients that are proof otherwise.

Hello!!! Thank you for comments. I will personally talk with the companies to find out more about why so many people are experiencing a permanent result. There is a product that can be used to eliminate the excess hylouronic acid. It is called Hyaluronidase. It is injected in the areas where there is too much filler and the filler is eliminated within days. It is safe and will effectively remove the excess filler. Good luck!

Oh wow, I'm sorry you are dealing with all of this.  Is there anything that can be done or do you have to live with it?

How are you doing now? Do you still feel the hyaluronidase caused damage?
