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

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 safe are dermal fillers?

June 17th, 2013
Q.
Are dermal fillers actually safe and do they work.

Can they be used under the eye and forehead? Does it involve complications, i.e. side effects or any unwanted results.

How long does it last and are the results drastic? Do they involve blood being re-injected into the face and are the results instant. How much does it generally cost? Also how much is rhino plastic surgery – straightening the nose.

Hi
Dermal fillers are safe and work! – they are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid binds water to keep skin looking healthy, hydrated and firm – you can see the results immediately following placement. They do not involve blood being re-injected.
It is a medical procedure, so there are some possible risks, but if performed by a qualified doctor these are minimalised. Using different products they can be used under the eye and forehead.
Costs usually starts from £250 upwards depending on the amount required and area it is placed and last usually 4-6 months.
Dermal fillers can be used to change the appearance of the nose.
Good luck
