Hello - Swelling post dermal filler injection does occur and usually peaks at 24-48 hours. This may affect your smile. The good news is swelling typically is fully resolved by one week and your smile should be back to normal.
“Proper placement of mid-face and lower face filler should not significantly affect the smile,” he shares. With that said, “if an overly firm filler is used or if the region is overfilled, an unnatural appearance can result as the lips push against stiff surrounding tissues,” he adds.
You are not allowed to smile for a few days after a lip filler. Facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, or frowning should have zero impact on your lip filler. It is actually better for you to smile and gently massage your lips, to help spread the product and produce a more natural end-result.
Avoid itching, or picking around the injection site. Avoid applying intense heat to the treated area, that includes hot tubs, saunas, sunbathing or tanning. Don't drink alcohol the day of treatment, and try to avoid it for 2 days after. Avoid exercising for 2 days or until swelling subsides.
Answer: Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers on the cheeks using Voluma or Radiesse help replace volume loss and can lift the corners of the mouth to some degree. Depending on the severity, one may still need to get some fillers like Restylane or Juvederm to camouflage or improve the look of the marionette lines.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
If your cheek filler is injected too high or too low, your results miiiight look obvious. That means you need to see someone who knows how to strike the perfect balance with cheek fillers, so they look good whether you're smiling or your face is at rest.
You shouldn't get cheek filler if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (chestfeeding), or if you have: Allergies to synthetic substances found in some dermal fillers. A bleeding disorder such as hemophilia or thalassemia. Certain autoimmune conditions.
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.
The filler can take several weeks to soften and settle into your skin. This means that patients won't see the ultimate results of their treatment immediately. Although individual results will vary, many people achieve the full effect within two weeks after receiving their injections.
Answer: Restylane for nasolabial folds
Laughing should not have any effect on your Restylane treatment. If you are concerned about your result, please visit your doctor for assessment.
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.
Immediately after a cheek filler treatment, you may feel pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and itching. You will also notice red needle puncture marks and some asymmetric form on your face. These are some common after-effects of a cheek filler procedure.
It is not uncommon to experience a small degree of asymmetry immediately post-treatment due to the potential for swelling and bruising. Juvederm can take up to 4 weeks to integrate, so it is best to wait and review in 2-4 weeks with your Injector at which point you will have a better idea of the final result.
So it seems like an impossible task to consider reducing the jawline with dermal fillers. But actually by replacing lost volume in other parts of the face, and by using filler to exaggerate different points of the jawline, we can contour the jawline helping to create a slimmer overall visual effect.
The treated area will feel different after your injections. It will likely seem fuller than usual due to the presence of the filler and post-treatment swelling. Some tenderness is also to be expected, particularly when the cheeks and temples have been injected. These sensations usually subside within a few weeks.
Generally, any lumps or bumps that appear after fillers will disappear on their own within one to two weeks. Give the treatment a couple of weeks to improve, applying ice regularly.
Swelling subsides, typically, within a few days. It's most apparent 24 to 72 hours after treatment before starting to subside gradually. Very occasionally, swelling can last from several days to four weeks.
After the first two weeks there could still be residual swelling and lumps present for up to 6 weeks (although not as obvious). This is due to the tissue releasing histamines into the local tissue which draws fluid to the area whilst the cheek heal and the tissue inflammation calms.
The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
Fillers can change your face by filling your decreasing facial volume due to aging and facial expressions. During a filler procedure, your licensed medical professional or doctor will evaluate your face to strategize the application of fillers.
Patients seeking fillers for cheeks are mainly concerned with the following: 1. Lost Volume in Cheeks: As you age, the cheeks can begin to look deflated and the mid-face areas lose healthy, youthful contours. Adding volume to the cheeks with fillers can restore the facial shape.
Answer: Fillers are not permanent
When they wear off, your facial features are the same and the filler does not make your face look worse. That being said, if you have lost significant weight during this time or have had other medical issues, than you face may appear more "aged" but not due to the filler wearing off.
Cheeks: Cheeks are very versatile and also the most challenging region of your face to treat. For each treatment, you'll need 10 to 15 filler syringes. Injecting too much filler might result in undesirable side effects, including a “duck-billed” appearance.
While dermal fillers, like Radiesse®, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®, provide noticeable outcomes, results are temporary. This is because our bodies metabolize these products slowly over time. Most dermal fillers need to be readministered every 3 – 6 months with some lasting up to a year or longer.
