Can fillers be used on eleven lines (instead of Botox)?

Yes - You can use fillers for 11 lines
Sep 27, 2017

Yes, fillers can be used to reduce the resting ‘eleven’ lines that appear between the eyebrows. Fillers work by filling in the creases in the skin by re-supporting the lost tissue both within and below the skin.
Another alternative is to use Botox in combination with fillers. Patients sometimes prefer this because it can allow the fillers to last longer.
It is important to keep in mind that applying fillers in the eleven-lines area is riskier and mor...

What recommendations would you make regarding fillers vs. mid face lift for this almost 37 year o

You look like a candidate for fillers!
Aug 24, 2017

Based upon your age, photo and the description you presented, you seem to be an excellent candidate for facial support and lifting from cosmetic fillers. You are correct when you say that that, due to the hormonal changes and weight changes during pregnancy, there may have been a loss of support below the skin, leading to increased skin sagging.
Cosmetic fillers have a distinct advantage in most cases in that they are not permanent, can be adjusted annually to maintain natural results of...

Lumpy temple filler results and now I have dents, should I ask for filler with a blunt canulla?

Wait a little longer before deciding
Aug 24, 2017

Because you are most likely experiencing residual swelling, 10 days is premature to determine the quality of your results. Cannulas are used to improve the safety of the treatment, but do not necessarily improve the smoothness of the results. If the filler was a hyaluronic acid based filler, such as Restylane or Juvederm, then you may benefit from an injection of Hyaluronidase, an enzyme which can reduce some of the filler lumps that are the most pronounced.
Regardless,...

Can injectibles raise the upper lip?

Yes - injectables can raise the upper lip!
Aug 2, 2017

The secret lies in matching the appearance of the upper lip with the areas surrounding the mouth.Some clients may only need to treat the upper lip in order to achieve their desired results while other patients may benefit from treating both the upper lip and the area above the upper lip, the nasolabial folds (smile lines,) and the lower lip as well.
The key is to consider the entire face as opposed to...

Do jaw and chin fillers actually work to create a square sharp jaw?

Yes, fillers can help to improve the sharpness of the jawline
Aug 2, 2017

Hi Rvillalvazo,
Yes, fillers can absolutely serve to improve the sharpness of the jaw contour without making it appear puffy. Using firmer fillers in this area, such as Radiesse or Sculptra, is considered an off-label use but can add definition without adding puffiness. Other filler types, such as Hyaluronic acid fillers, may retain water and cause the area to appear puffy. The key to achieving a natural looking, sharply contoured jawline lies in the aesthetics of the...

How much can you augment a chin before tissue and skin tightness cause pain and pressure?

In general, Yes, applying more filler can 'stretch' you skin
Aug 2, 2017

It is generally true that applying more fillers to an area tends to stretch the skin and tissue, allowing for expansion over time. Applying too much at once, however, may cause pressure and discomfort, so you need to be careful about injecting just the right amount.
The nice thing about fillers is that this expansion can be done gradually and is not permanent, should you prefer less results in the future. One approach to avoiding the pain of expansion you experienced may be...
