“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.
Answer: Can under eye filler cause wrinkles
Once under eye filler wears off it will not cause more wrinkles, but your skin will resume the appearance it had prior to the filler injections.
Answer: Laugh lines worse after Filler
This may appear worse because there is swelling from the injection. All swelling should subside in about 2 weeks. If after 2 weeks this does not get better, then please see your injector for an evaluation.
As people get older, the skin loses its ability to renew itself. The skin in the area under the eyes is particularly susceptible to the aging process because it is thin. As a result, it is common to develop wrinkles under the eyes over time.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
The way the under eye filler is placed
Over time the fillers gradually degrade from as our body creates and enzyme called hyaluronidase that cleaves the bonds of the sugar chains in the gel. As the amount of filler volume lessens, the effect wanes.
Excessive use of fillers distorts natural face features, causing an aged appearance. When the face becomes distorted this makes you look unnatural. And an unnatural look will make you look disproportioned.
The skin beneath your eyes is thin and has numerous blood vessels. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity. After years of wrinkling as we talk and smile, the skin finds it harder and harder to spring back.
In most patients, the swelling is much better after 4-5 days, but there can be milder swelling which takes weeks to resolve completely. Under eye fillers can often look lumpy after the procedure. The lumpy appearance usually continues to improve over the 2-3 weeks after the procedure.
If you think your fillers have gone wrong and if you have any of the following symptoms, CONSULT A MEDICALLY QUALIFIED PERSON NOW: Severe pain. Blanching of the skin and/or white spots. Mottled skin.
There are potential risks and side effects.
Common side effects include bruising and swelling, and nodules and bumps under the eye can occur. “Blindness is a rare side effect if the filler enters a blood vessel of the eye and occludes it,” she says, hence the importance of seeing a well-trained injector.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, you can expect some bruising, since the under-eye area has thinner skin with lots of blood vessels. Swelling is common as well. There are other possible side effects: If the fillers aren't injected correctly, the area can end up looking more swollen and discolored.
Botox and dermal fillers work differently which is why they're best used in specific parts of the face. A filler is great for restoring facial volume under the eyes, while Botox is effective for smoothening the dynamic wrinkles like glabellar lines and crow's feet.
You'd be surprised to know the answer, but it is indeed possible to get rid of undereye wrinkles completely. Dr. Soma Sarker says, “Yes, it is indeed possible to completely reverse fine lines and wrinkles, but it can happen only for short periods of time.
Another problem with heavy eye creams containing these ingredients is that the oils can weigh down the delicate skin tissue and over the course of time, can weaken elastin fibers causing premature wrinkles.
Filler works by inflating a pocket or space under the skin. Once the filler is gone (whether absorbed back into the body or chemically dissolved), that space will become empty leaving the tissues in a more stretched out position (think of sucking out the beans from a bean bag leaving it with an excess, sagging bag.
Unless great attention is paid while injecting fillers, repeated filler applications in the same place can cause skin to loosen and stretch, resulting in the gradual need to use more filler product over time.
When you have had too much filler, then you may appear to have a bulging forehead, an overly pointy and sharp chin, and overly protruding cheekbones. Furthermore, the filler can stretch and weigh down your skin over time, which is known as filler fatigue.
Some clients find their body does reject permanent fillers. For a minor few, the temporary dermal filler injections may not work well or be fully accepted either. However, most healthy patients tolerate temporary dermal filler injections quite well.
Although extremely rare, dermal fillers are able to migrate within the skin if consistent and adequate pressure is applied to them. For this reason, we advise patients not to get a facial, massage (on the treated skin), or microdermabrasion for the first two weeks following their filler injections.
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.
