As injectable fillers have become a more common cosmetic treatment, the information and misinformation about them have soared. Each patient has a different experience depending on their injector and what type of filler they received. With everyone voicing their own opinions, it can be difficult to know who or what to trust when considering your own treatments. Luckily, Dr. Wendel’s Plastic Surgery Office has the expertise and knowledge to debunk some of these myths about filler and share how to get the most out of your treatments.
A recent “buzzword” and topic in the cosmetic procedure world is filler migration. People online have spoken about how their fillers moved around their face and gave them unwanted results, leading to going back to their injector to get the filler dissolved.
While this can happen, it is infrequent and often due to the lack of a knowledgeable injector. If fillers are injected too close to the skin’s surface or in too large of an amount for the area, it can result in what people are referring to as filler migration. In actuality, it is due to the improper placement or type of filler used.
Depending on the type of filler injected, studies are now saying it may last longer than we originally thought. Hyaluronic acid based fillers, like Juvederm, are now said to have lasting potential for up to two years or longer as it is absorbed by the tissue where it was injected. Because fillers also typically stimulate collagen production, their effects can be more long-lasting.
With so much information out there about filler migration and people’s personal experiences , it can be difficult to get a succinct answer on what to look for and consider before making a treatment to receive injectable fillers. To make it simple, here are a few main things to think about so you can avoid bad experiences and get the most out of your treatments.
Oftentimes, patients who had lackluster experiences or results saw a provider who was not forthcoming about the amount of experience and background they have with injectables. By researching your provider beforehand and scheduling a consultation before your injection appointment you can ensure that you trust your injector.
