My Botox and filler treatment has gone wrong

January 6th, 2014
Q.
I had fillers and botox and after ten days a dip appeared on one side of my face it has gradually
got larger about the size and depth of the top of my thumb. Why has this happened im distressed, but the practice is not interested. The dip seems to have started as a small dent on my right cheek just under the bone.it just got bigger and bigger.Its all I can look at . Please can you help?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
A.
Hello there, Sorry to hear about you experience. It is difficult to assess what exactly has happened without seeing you, but may be due to fillers augmenting the area around where the dip is that has caused this to stand out. I would suggest trying to see your Doctor, who carried out the procedure as they will know what they used, the quantity and where it was placed.
Good luck

How can I treat the lines above my eyebrows?

November 15th, 2013
Q.
Hi Dr,
I have lines above my eyebrows and around my eyes and would like to get some treatment to get rid of themWould dermal fillers work and if so what kind of fillers would be best for me? Also I would like to know if there are any creams or serums that would improve the look of my lines? live in Surrey, would it be possible to get treatment from yourself?I would like work done preferably before Christmas as I start a new job abroad in the New Year and want to look and feel my best!! Thank you.
A.
Hello and Thank you for your enquiry. Yes dermal fillers will work, though I usually recommend Botox as a first choice of treatment for the areas that concern you. If we use fillers, I generally use Juvederm or Restylane products. There are various creams and serums but injectables will give you enhanced results. I would be happy to see and treat you and can arrange this before Christmas. My contact details are 020 7636 5981 and Jessica or Iwona will be able to schedule you an appointment.
Kind regards
Adam

How can I firm up lines and wrinkles?

November 15th, 2013
Q.
Hi Dr Thorne,
I have purchased a product which is meant to firm up lines and wrinkles with ions-but so far I havent seen any improvement.
I am 37 and have lines around my eyes and just above my eyebrows. Should I continue to use this (it cost me £100) or seek Botox treatment or fillers? The lines I have are not very bad but they are getting worse over time so I would like to stop them from getting deeper whilst they are not too bad. What would your advice be?I got in on a popular discount website and I use it but I really can’t see that it is making any difference at all and it is quite time consuming Kind regards,
A.
Hi There Not knowing what the product is and how pronounced the lines are it is difficult to advise you on the possible results. Generally in the areas that concern you Botox is our first choice of treatment and you can get fantastic results with it. I would suggest a consultation to advise you of some results.
Kind regards
Adam

How can I treat the lines above my lip?

October 3rd, 2013
Q.
I have lines above my top lip. How much approx would it cost to have these treated and how long would the effects last? Also I have nasolabial lines. Are dermal fillers the answer & are they painful at all? Around the eye area for fine lines what would the recommended treatment be? Are dermal fillers preferable to having Botox? Going back to the lines above my upper lip, would treatment cause my lip to ‘plump up’, as I do not want this
A.
Hi
It depends on the cause of the lines and whether you feel any volume or definition of the lip is needed. You can use dermal fillers or Botox for these. Naso-labial lines need volume so either we use dermal fillers here or in the cheeks above to ‘raise’ the area and reduce these lines. For fine lines around the eyes we usually suggest Botox for these.
Most dermal fillers now have some local anaesthetic in them and aren’t painful to be placed.
Prices depend on the product to be used, correction required and experience of the clinician, but can start from £150/£200 upwards. I would recommend a consultation to discuss your options
Good luck

Would dermal fillers work on my scars?

November 5th, 2012
Q.
Hello,
I would like some advice about a few problem areas that I have on my face. I have two pitted scars on my forehead from when I was a child and had chicken pox. They have faded slightly but are a greyish/blue colour and I am very conscious of them. Do you think dermal fillers would work on them? I don’t expect the colour would change but just the pitted look. I also have crows feet or laughter lines as I like to call them!They are quite obvious and as the rest of my face is pretty smooth I think they look even more pronounced. Do you think I should have fillers or perhaps Botox? I am 40. Thank you.
A.
Many thanks – two good questions.
Dermal fillers certainly have a role in the treatment of pitted scars. However, scars are often tethered to deeper layers which means that fillers may not lift them as much as hoped. Dermaroller can be of some help but I much prefer INTRAcel which is much more effective.

In my opinion Botox is the no.1 treatment for crows feet and almost always works well. The lines are caused by the creasing action of the underlying muscles; filers can appear to work but usually the muscles will start to crease the filler. Gently weakening the muscles with botox is the answer.

I hope this helps, best wishes,

I had fillers and then botox, shouldn’t the procedure be the other way around?

June 12th, 2012
Q.
Hi there, I have recently had teosyal dermal filler between my eyebrows. As I had two lines I I directly between my eyes, I was initially going for Botox but after a consultation with my nurse she recommended filler a tue lines were quite deep. I had this done 3days ago and she is coming back in two weeks to top up, she only put a small amount to see how it takes then will add some more, she also said she would put some Botox there too. I have just read that it should be done the other way round. What should my next step be, just take some Botox and leave the additional top up of filler and just see how it looks??
A.
Thank you very much for your question. You are right that we do normally recommend having Botox injections before fillers.

The reason is that the Botox weakens the line and therefore it becomes less deep. You therefore need less filler following the Botox.

It may be that your practitioner prefers a different method and I am sure that Botox works well.
I think it would be worthwhile discussing this fully with your practitioner and I wish you the best of luck.

Best wishes
