If you've had dermal filler to face...

I have. They will do a hard sell on lots more than just fillers, it is irritating. I had surgery years ago and the cosmetic surgeon said to me that a good cosmetic surgeon would never suggest procedures to a client - that is not the theory that ProMD buys into.
They often have PAs doing the work so be careful who the appointment is with. I was happy initially with the fillers (undereye) but I think they eventually caused bags as they dissolved - or I got old and tired.

Did voluma to mid face at 49. Went back a a year later and nurse who did it told me to hold off, I still had it there and it would look overdone.

I'll.probably do it very judiciously and if I need to get a mini lift at 55 or 60.

read the reviews on this place. Their cheap botox prices are from watering it down.

I just got filler for the first time. I have eye bags and feel like my face is starting to migrate south (i'm almost 42). I'm not sure if filler will help there, or if I'm a bleph candidate. The med spa injector I went to is well reviewed and actually suggested doing a little on my cheeks to "support" my eyes. I'm surprised by how much that helped. I'm excited to see how it looks in a couple weeks when it settles. My husband said I looked "nice" before I told him. The injector discussed going back for just a little under my eyes, and filling out temples. And lips, with the leftover filler (so not much).

I had zero bad reactions - zero bruising, zero issue. Loved it right away.


I realize this is an old thread but if PP is still here, I would really appreciate knowing who the provider was! Thank you!

My hairdresser had his fillers migrate from his eyes. They looked noticeably bad. I’d rather have surgery.

Me too. And I have nasolabial lines also. Nothing seems to help. I haven’t tried fillers and probably won’t.

Will a chemical peel help these areas?

You can do restalyne. I switched because juvederm always migrated.


How were your results with restalyne?

go to Dr. Alster or Tanzi. Dr. Kearney is trending a bit but they all look carbon copied. You can see them a mile away.

If possible do surgery and avoid fillers

I’m 39 and have been getting light fillers in my cheeks, lips and jawline every 6 months for ~5 years maybe. I do the cheeks specifically to help reduce the appearance of my nasolabial folds, rather than getting them in the folds themselves which looked weird to me. I get 2 syringes - so about 2 blueberries worth -spread out between all those areas. I love it and have no plans to stop ever.

48. Just got cheeks for nasolabial folds. I like it !! I think I might do my marionette lines too. I used restalyne Lyft. I hope it lasts a while because it’s expensive! I also bruised for about a week in one cheek.

I’m in my late 30s. I’ve had injections mainly in my cheeks and around my tear troughs. I’m happy with the results-they look natural and have helped refresh my appearance without being overdone.

I’m a little surprised to read about all of these people getting filler in their 30s.

Why? That's when people start to see the lines and sagging associated with aging but skin is still relatively firm and plump enough that filler will help. Once you get to 50s+ then you are sort of beyond filler and into facelift territory.

Also lot of young women, even college age, use filler for that Instagram look. A lot of women don't want to look natural, that's the point for them.
