Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will front-cheek filler help with under eyebag? Its only the one side
Under eye bag
Nov 4, 2019
Filler does not remove under-eye “bags.” What it does is add to the adjacent hollow area to provide s smooth appearance. That would likely provide you with the look you want. The best filler in this location, in my opinion, is Belotero, which is soft and smooth and does not risk the bluish tinge of many other products.
There are many other treatments, which might also help in the area, such as fractional radiofrequency or microneedling with PRP. PRP can also be mixed with…
Will repeated injections of Radiesse build volume at the mandibular angle past the 18-month mark?
Jawline strengthening
Nov 4, 2019
While Radiesse does produce some collagen stimulation, the effect is not permanent and is usually quite mild. The primary effects of Radiesse are through its direct addition of volume. Radiesse is an excellent product for use in mandibular contour modifications, but it does need to be injected every year or two in most people. Alternative fillers include Voluma, Restylane Lyft (both hyaluronic acid fillers) and Bellafill (which contains polymethylmethacrylate microspheres and last up to…
How can I remove the lumpiness caused by fillers from under the eye?
Lump under eye 2 years after filler
Nov 4, 2019
Lumps can arise from filler, itself, as well as from an inflammatory reaction to the filler. While most fillers go away in two years, the area under the eye is one where they last longest. Hopefully, your injector used a hyaluronic acid filler. In that case, any remaining filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Any residual inflammation should get better with time after that or can be helped along with low dose steroids. If there is infection (less likely), it can be treated with…
Am I a candidate for under eye fillers?
Under Eye fillers
Nov 4, 2019
Your photos demonstrate hollowness under the eyes, with darkness due both shadows and visibility of the underlying muscle and blood vessels, which are bluish, through the thin skin. You are an excellent candidate for filler in the area (called the tear trough). The filler used should be a hyaluronic acid filler, which has a soft, smooth appearance. I prefer Belotero in this location.
You also have lost some fullness in your cheeks, which contributes to sagging and parenthesis lines from nose…
Under eye hollows after nose surgery, would filler help?
Improving under eye hollowness
May 2, 2019
There are various methods to improve the appearance of the under eye area. For hollowness such as you display, volume replacement with a filler, such as Belotero, potentially combined with PRP or PRF, or fat transfer, or PDO threads are all options. These can be combined with micro needling or, more powerfully, fractional radiofrequency treatments to improve skin tone and texture. Your photo does not permit assessment of the adjacent areas for more complete assessment of facial balance…
Bulging temporalis after botox – How can I fix this?
Bulging at temples after Botox
May 2, 2019
This does not appear to be your temporalis muscle. Rather the parts of your frontalis at the temples are the only ones not affected by the Botox, while you have had complete paralysis of the remainder. These small areas if the muscle are working overtime, holding up the corners of your eyebrows. The muscle activity can be reduced by additional Botox in this part of the muscle. Since you will have such complete muscle paralysis, you may also need some Botox added below the brows for balance,…
My face is so red after microdermabrasion +chemical peel is it common ? And how many days it takes to
Redness after microdermabrasion and chemical peel
May 2, 2019
Combining microdermabrasion with chemical peel is quite aggressive. The microdermabrasion removes some if the surface layer of skin and causes the peel agents to go deeper. Your skin looks quite irritated. You should have been provided with calming and moisturizing products for hone care after your treatment. If you were not, or if this does not improve in the next day or two, or it gets worse, go see your provider.
