Best Injectable Filler for Undereye Hollows?
Filler for Hollowness under the eye
Jan 31, 2018
Hello Nani,
Good question! I have been injecting Restylane in the tear trough (under-eye area) for years with great results. Restylane provides a natural result and is often injected using a cannula technique which can decrease the risk of swelling/bruising. It is important you’re treatment is performed by someone with experience in injecting the tear trough, as this is a delicate area of the face. 

Best of Luck!

Juvederm Lip filler: how long should I wait to get pregnant?
Juvederm and Pregnancy
Jan 31, 2018
Hi Bren123456. Thanks for the question. There really isn’t any firm time frame to wait to get pregnant after a Juvederm injection, but I always advise patient to check with your OBGYN  regarding such concerns.

Thanks and best of luck.

Dr. Thomas Kaniff

Is it okay to go on Six Flags rides with Voluma?
Activity After Voluma
Jan 24, 2018
Hello BGrl,
Thank you for submitting your question. With the injection
being 2-3 weeks ago, there is no contraindication to activity that far out
after fillers. It usually takes fillers, including Voluma approximately 3-5
days to settle in. If you have any concerns be sure to consult with your
physician. Hope this helps!
Best of Luck,
Dr. Thomas E. Kaniff
How many chances should you give an injector to get lips right with lip filler?

Volbella (age 31.8) for smoker lines without making physical lips larger?
Filler for Smoker Lines
Jan 19, 2018
Hey VividlyGeneric,
Unlike some of the other fillers that are for adding volume to the lip, Volbella is a dermal filler indicated for the fine lines of the upper lip. Volbella provides a natural result, and since it comes in a .5 cc syringe unlike the 1.0 syringes of other products, it’s perfect for just a small amount of softening in the “smoker lines”.

Best of Luck!

Dr. Thomas E. Kaniff 

Is this normal 3 hours after lip injections?
Side Effects after Lip Injections
Jan 19, 2018
Hello amymarie28,
After any injection using Dermal Fillers, it is normal to have swelling, and bruising is always a possibility. Typically bruising will last about a week, if darker in color, it could be longer. Fillers can take up to 2 weeks to meld in with the injectable area and not feel so foreign. If you have any concerns be sure to consult with your physician. Hope this helps!

Best of Luck!

Dt. Thomas E. Kaniff

With Voluma what can happen if I do not wait the 24 hours before exercise?
Exercise and Filler
Jan 19, 2018
Hi mrseternaldancer. I would encourage you to wait the 24 hours after any filler including Voluma injections. Exercise increases the heart rate which could lead to bruising.  If you cannot avoid this because of your job, I would recommend you take something like Arnica Montana capsules prior to your injection to help decrease the risk of bruising.

Thanks and best of luck,

Dr. Thomas Kaniff

 

Can you use another type of filler after getting Volbella for lips?
Using Multiple Fillers
Jan 19, 2018
Great question annemh016. Yes, you can absolutely use another filler. Vobella is typically used in the upper lip lines and gives a gentle inflation to the upper lip lines and or upper lip. Using something like Juvederm Ultra or Restylane will give more structure and fullness to the lip itself. Thanks for the question and best of luck.

Swollen and Lumpy 3 Weeks Post-op Facelift/necklift - Is This Normal Healing?
Swelling and Lumps after Facelift
Jan 18, 2018
After facelift surgery it is not unusual to experience swelling and the occasional lump, which gradually resolve over time. Helpful strategies in the postoperative period include sleeping elevated, wearing a cheek/ neck strap, warm/ cold packs and gentle massage. It is important to relay concerns to your surgeon and have patience.

Best of luck,
Dr. Kaniff

Best Age for First Facelift?
Best Age For Facelift
Dec 22, 2017
There is not a correct age to have a facelift. The best age to have a facelift is when an individual has the aging conditions  that are best treated this procedure. Good candidates for face and neck rejuvenation range from their 40’s to their 70’s. as long, as they are in in good health. Younger patients have  better, longer lasting results and may require less extensive procedures such as a mini face lift. Older patients may be better candidates for a facelift. Also, many facelift or mini-...
Is it possible inject 2 syringes of Juvéderm in the lips at the same time?
2 Syringes Injected At The Same Time
Dec 18, 2017
Thanks for the question danielerusek. Yes, you can absolutely inject two syringes of Juvederm Ultra at the same time. You could also try Juverdem Ultra Plus which is a thicker product and may give you the look you want with just one syringe. If you were a new patient to fillers I might advise starting out with one syringe, depending on your lip anatomy, and reevaluate in 2-3 weeks. But since you’ve had filler to the lips and know what to expect, there should be no problem.

Best of l...

Is this bruising normal after Volbella Injections?
Risk of bruising with Dermal Fillers!
Dec 15, 2017
Hello PlasticAndrew,
Anytime an injection is done, there is a risk of bruising.
This is why I suggest patients discontinue blood thinning medications or
supplements about 2 weeks before the injection. Arnica is also something that
can be taken prior to, and/or post-injection to help alleviate bruising and
swelling. Unfortunately bruising cannot be predicted, but there are things that
may help prevent it. Hope this helps for future injections!
Best of Luck!

Is Juvederm XC the same as Juvederm Volbella?
The difference between Juvederm XC and Volbella
Dec 15, 2017
Hello
Brenjor,
Juvederm XC
is a great choice for some volume to the lips. Unlike Juvederm XC, which is for
adding volume, and structure. Volbella is more of a treatment for fine lines of
the upper lip. According to the manufacturer, the longevity of both products is
about a year. Keep in mind areas around the mouth may metabolize the product at
a faster rate due to constant motion. Glad to hear you have had some lasting
results with Juvederm XC!
Best of Luck!

Nasolabial lines - advice. Could I please get some opinions on this?
Nasolabial Folds
Dec 14, 2017
Hi melgreco11, welcome to the world of toxins! I trust you’re enjoying the results from your Dysport treatment.

Juvederm Ultra is a great option for softening the nasolabial folds. For patients that are new to filler, I typically start out with one syringe and schedule an appointment for a recheck in three weeks. If more filler is needed, we can certainly add it then. Juvederm Ultra is also reversible, so if you do not like the results, your doctor can inject something called h...

I’ve had this “hollow” under eye situation for about 8 years now. I am only 25. What are my
Hollow Under Eyes
Dec 14, 2017
Thanks for the photo sm92. I believe that you may be a good candidate for filler to address the hollowness you’re seeing under your eyes. I would recommend Restylane to the area because it doesn’t fluctuate with water retention as with some other fillers . As always, consult with your physician and be sure to see a qualified facial plastic or plastic surgeon. The under eye area can be tricky and requires someone with a lot of experience.

Best of luck,

Dr. Thomas Kaniff
