Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What is wrong with my eyes? Are these little blobs actually the filler?
Eye blobs
Jul 25, 2022
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to say what the cause of your eye “blobs” may be as there are no pictures of before the filler injection or description of where the injection was administered under the eyes. Depending on the HA filler used, you can generally expect dissolution in 6-9 months. You may see improvement with daily massaging. I always recommend seeking experienced dermatologist, plastic, facial or occuloplastic surgeons for any injections around the eyes as the…
What would be the consequences of removing cheek filler after it done constantly for 5 years?
Removing facial fillers
Jul 19, 2022
Thank you for your question. The most important determinant in answering your question is the type of filler was was injected. If you have used HA fillers then hyaluronidase injections should dissolve it; however, HA filler does not normally persist and it is generally expected to breakdown spontaneously in 9-12 months and would not require removal. However, if you have used calcium hydroxylapatite, collagen or silicone, removal will not be easy. I recommend contacting the physician who has…
Eleven wrinkles in seniors, are there advances in this area?
Glabellar furrows
Jul 19, 2022
Thank you for your question. Botulinum toxin injections are designed to be preventative and will only keep the dynamic wrinkles or furrows from worsening. It would not help furrows that are present at rest. With regards to the neuromodulator injection “always make my eyelids a little droopy”, that is more likely related to the injector’s technique rather than an accepted “trade off”. In my experience, when treating glabbelar furrows, its best to use the neuromodulator in a higher…
Facial balancing (filler) recommendations, is Belotero the best?
Improving facial projection
Jul 19, 2022
Thank you for your question. Improving the 3 dimensional projection of face is often best achieved with properly placed facial implants. Fillers don’t lift, they fill and may have temporary improvement; however, these filler have their own weight and they will ultimately weigh down the tissue into which they are injected and will cause even more sagging. With regards to correcting the tear trough deformity, the brand of HA filler is not nearly as important as the skill and experience of the…
“Lip Pop” injection causing a speech impediment and cannot eat or swallow correctly.
Botox will not lift your lip
Mar 26, 2017
The lips. Botox is used to paralyze or weaken muscles. The muscles that act on the mouth raise the upper lip or constrict it to purse. Majority of the time when Botox is injected, it is designed to lower the lip by weakening the muscles that elevate it. when we weaken the muscle that purses the lip, we can expect the sphincter tone of the circular lip muscle to be weakened leading to oral incompetence and some difficulty with speech. All of this is temporary. It is best to consult a board …
I am a 59 year old considering ultherapy. I have mild to moderate laxity under chin and neck as well as
ultherapy
Feb 11, 2017
Based on the pictures posted and without the benefit of a physical exam, in my opinion you will have only a modest and temporary improvement of your neck and jaw line with a single Ultherapy treatment.

Ultherapy treatment experience
Jan 15, 2017
At our practice we perform a directed physician exam and discuss realistic expectation of results based on the exam and patient’s goals. Part of the initial exam is assessing any mental health challenges which may impact the patient’s experience and perception of their treatment outcome as well as compliance with post-treatment instructions.
