Facial fillers are often used to restore a natural, youthful appearance to areas that appear older due to wrinkles, fine lines, or loss of volume. We can get rid of the filler that was placed in the wrong place, in the wrong quantity or that was the wrong product, and replace it with something that gives a better result. And make sure that the filling is really gone, because the filling may never completely disintegrate. If you're worried that Botox could have the opposite effect on your face, keep reading to learn everything you need to know.
We see young people born with, for example, hollows under their eyes receiving filling treatments as early as their twenties. When more padding is placed than the body can hold in one place, the padding has to go somewhere and heads south, causing sagging. Hyaluronic acid fillers were originally intended to give some facial fullness to people who had lost volume due to extreme weight loss, drug use or illness. However, it's only OK to do this if you get the amount you need for a moderate feeling of satiety and allow them to completely dissolve before you get more filling.
Let's say you start developing wrinkles at age 30 and you get Botox or collagen injections right away to get rid of them, and you do. Using too much dermal filler can distort your face, make it look asymmetrical and aesthetically unbalanced, and in some cases, it can even make you look older than you really are. The filler takes months or years to dissolve (and sometimes the filler doesn't dissolve at all), and if you keep getting more and more injections, you're just filling your face with more and more gel. When done discreetly, most of us know that Botox is a great way to calm lines and wrinkles and make the face look fresher and juvenile.
I think that because there are so many bad things in skincare, everyone has lost faith in its ability to make skin look youthful, and that's why everyone opts for filler. But can the injectable actually have the opposite effect and make you look older? This is a fear that prevents many people from seeking treatment.
