The simple answer is “no.” Patients often tell me that their aesthetician recommends improving the nasolabial folds (the diagonal lines between the bottom of the nose and the corners of the lips) by injecting fillers into the cheeks.
Side effects /risks with dermal fillers in the nasolabial folds: Bruising: occurs in a significant number of cases. Infection is a very rare complication, but always a possibility when the needle goes into the skin. Necrosis: (blood vessel being blocked, interfering with blood supply to the skin) is very rare.
While it is possible for fillers to migrate, this side effect is extremely rare and can be avoided by choosing a qualified injector. Though filler migration is very uncommon, its likelihood increases when fillers are performed by an inexperienced or underqualified injector.
How long does Nasolabial Filler take to settle? The final result is seen after 2- 3 weeks.
“The short answer is no,” says Dr. Miriam Hanson, board certified dermatologist and cosmetic expert in Austin, Texas. “Wrinkles do not become worse after having dermal fillers.” Dermal fillers comprise a family of injectable medications that restore volume in areas of the skin where it has been lost.
Con: Potential Side Effects
Patients usually experience minor bruising for 24 hours to several days. Other symptoms include rashes, swelling, and potential infection. Over time, patients may feel the filler moving away from the desired area, or, although extremely rare, develop lumps under the skin.
Over time, the hyaluronic acid in this dermal filler will dissolve just as your body's naturally produced hyaluronic acid does. It will be absorbed, and your results will begin to fade. You can keep your results seamless by scheduling a touch-up injection as soon as you notice a difference (or even before!)
While massage can sometimes improve mild symptoms such as moderate lumpiness or slight asymmetry, don't perform massage on your fillers unless instructed to do so by your plastic surgeon or injector.
If you are trying to improve your nasolabial folds, we will probably advise you to use Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, or Restylane Defyne. All of these products contain specialized hyaluronic acid-based formulas that can smooth away your smile lines without making your face look frozen or immobile.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, but it cannot soften the deep folds in the nasolabial area. In this case, a volume-adding injectable like dermal fillers is often the better choice because it can fill the deep wrinkles and smoothen the skin.
Nasolabial folds are creases in your skin extending from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. As you age, the lines deepen, especially in people who smoke or don't protect their skin from sun damage.
As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.
Avoid touching the treated area for 3-4 hours following the injection. After that, light make-up can be applied and the area can be gently washed with soap and water. Until the initial swelling and redness have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (i.e., sunbathing or tanning bed) or extreme cold.
Juvederm Vollure is a hyaluronic acid facial filler, specifically designed for the nasolabial folds and for the parenthesis around the mouth. This is the longest lasting dermal filler on the market for the mid-face, lasting up to 18 months.
That said, these injectable treatments take some time to integrate into your tissues, and it's normal for your dermal filler to take up to two weeks to fully settle into your face.
Soften nasolabial lines with make-up
A moisturizing and covering foundation can smooth the skin in addition to the daily face cream. Here, too, you should pay attention to active ingredients with a proven anti-aging effect. Our tip: Use a concealing care with hyaluronic acid.
Targeting cheek dermal filler for the nasolabial fold area can lift the sagging skin of the midline of the face and provide relief from creases and heavy shadowing.
Some of the common signs of lip fillers going wrong include: Lumpiness. Successful lip fillers should not be lumpy to the touch or to look at. If your lips are lumpy, this may be because the technique used to insert the filler was incorrect, or a filler with too much viscosity has been used.
In reality, fillers take up to four weeks to “settle,” according to Healthline. Different types of fillers can settle more quickly, and your lifestyle and similar factors can also affect the amount of time it takes to settle.
Poor injection techniques can result in the fillers blocking the blood vessel causing your lips to discolour, develop white spots, become cold to touch and blister. You'll also experience severe pain that doesn't subside and is outside the regular recovery period pain.
Most people only need 1mL of dermal filler to enhance their whole face. The amount of filler injected will be different for every person, depending on the area they're trying to treat.
Nasolabial creases (dermal and epidermal defects) require a dermal filler injected into the upper or mid dermis for best results. Attempting to fill these creases with a deep dermal or subdermal injection may improve their contour but will not fill in the superficial dermal defect.
