How much for Botox in my lips?
Filler, not Botox, is the solution
Dec 24, 2015
Hello. Sounds like you need a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm, Belotero or Restylane, rather than Botox. For natural-looking results, you should have an expert facial analysis to determine whether it's just your lips that need injecting, or the surrounding area that supports your lips. The unnatural "duck lip" appearance that you sometimes see after filler happens when it's injected only into the lips without the lip support being restored. The choice of filler also depends on your...
Can Juvederm injected around the mouth to get rid of lines make TMJ problems worse?
Jaw pain might be due to swelling or too much filler
Dec 24, 2015
Hello, and thanks for your question. It depends how much Juvederm was injected, and where. If too much was injected, or you have a lot of swelling or bruising from the injection, this could cause some pain around your jaw. Hope this helps.Kind regards,Dr. Hema (Rockville, MD and Fairfax, VA)
I just got juvederm and it looks too much. Is it because of swelling?
If you have swelling after two weeks, some or all of the Juvederm may need to be removed
Dec 24, 2015
Hello, and thanks for your inquiry, If it is over 2 weeks since you had the Juvederm and you are still swollen, you may have been injected with too much. Another possibility is that your nasolabial folds were injected when the actual cause of the problem needed fixing by injection into another areas, such as your midface or the sides of your cheeks in front of your ears. The key to looking natural is to treat the actual cause of the problem rather than just what we see - in this case, your...
My right eyebrow has a higher arch than my left. What's the best way to fix it?
Botox, Filler or a combination may be the solution
Dec 24, 2015
Hello. The important issue is to determine why your right eyebrow is more arched, and to fix the cause rather than the effect. This the key to achieving natural-looking results and avoiding looking as if you've had plastic surgery. For this, you need an in-person consultation and full evaluation of your face. If the muscle overactivity is the primary cause, then it's ok to inject a little Botox, Xeomin or Dysport to relax the muscles. However, based on your photos, the underlying cause could...
What kinda filler should I get for my chin?
Fillers to chin, nose and forehead can balance your face
Jul 11, 2015
Hello, Naz. It's a good idea to try a filler first even if you're considering a surgical implant. Injection with expert technique of a firm hyaluronic acid filler such as Perlane (Restylane Lyft) just over the bone will give precision sculpting and very good definition of your chin. If you were not considering surgery, Radiesse, which is calcium based, would also be a great option for precision sculpting and chin projection. You can also try Restylane Lyft to your nose. Based on your side...
Will Botox fix hooded eyes, or do I need an invasive procedure?
Botox, Fillers or Surgery are options to fix hooded eyes
Jul 11, 2015
Hello, kmprg88. Botox can be used to weaken the muscles that depress your eyebows, and hence give them a lift. Another treatment that can help, and may be more appropriate given the shape of your brows, is to inject a hyaluronic acid filler to your brows and forehead, to increase their support and stop your brows hanging over your eyelids. This is an advanced level filler procedure that should be performed by an expert dermatologist or plastic surgeon, using blunt cannulas rather than...
Is Restylane silk good for tear through?
Restylane Silk or Belotero are good for tear troughs and should not cause Tyndall
Jul 11, 2015
Dear September, Restylane Slk can be injected to the tear trough. It is likely to cause swelling for at least a few days after, as it absorbs quite a bit of water. Neither Belotero nor Restylane Silk should cause the Tyndall Effect if injected correctly. Both are scientifically designed for superficial placement. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dr. Hema
Nasolabial folds problem with filler. Would another problem fix the hollow?
Filler may need to be removed, and another injection performed
Jul 11, 2015
Dear af.06, it is important for your injector to assess your whole face before injecting your nasolabial folds. This, together with correct injection technique, can help avoid this type of problem. While I cannot tell definitely from looking at such a closely cropped photo, it looks as if the Juvederm may have been placed a bit too superficially, and also as if you may need filler to also support the surrounding areas, rather than only to the nasolabial folds. Your anatomy on each side of...
After botox I accidentally bent over to plug in a fan and pick up my toddler. Is this ok?
Botox question: Don't worry - you'll be fine!
Jul 11, 2015
Dear Kristi, Don't worry - you'll be fine! Although it was previously recommended not to lie down after Botox, there is no evidence that even this causes problems - let alone just bending down to pick up your child. A new global publication on Botox is coming out soon, with recommendations from top experts from throughout the world. You'll be glad to know that in this publication, for which I am the first author, all the experts concluded that there is no basis for post-Botox instructions...
Lips injected with 1 syringe Juvederm and it's uneven. Any suggestions?
How to remove filler lumps
Jul 8, 2015
Hello gemmassage. Ask your doctor if a small amount of hyaluronidase can be injected into the top right side of your lip to dissolve out the unwanted Juvederm. By the way, you may get much better results if the support is restored to your lips by injecting the area around them. It gives a more natural look than injecting into the lips when the area around them is volume-depleted. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dr. Hema.
Am I a good candidate for chin fillers?
You look to be a good candidate for chin fillers
Jul 8, 2015
Hello, auemie. Although an in-person examination is the most accurate way to know if you'd benefit from chin fillers, you do seem to be a good candidate based on this photo. A firm, lifting filler such as Radiesse, Voluma or Restylane can improve the projection and shape of your chin, and balance it with the rest of your face. If considering a chin implant, make sure you consult a specialist who is very experienced in treating women. They can end up looking a bit to big and masculinizing...
Is it normal to have bruising and lumps (kind of a long ridge where the doctor injected me) right aft
Filler under the eyes can take a while to settle
Jul 8, 2015
Hello, Silvana. It's normal to have some bruising and firmness for days to a few weeks after injection. The area under the eyes is quite prone to bruising. Wait 2 to 3 weeks and see if it settles. If not, the unwanted filler can be dissolved out with hyaluronidase. Next time, you may wish to get treatment from a specialist who knows how to inject with blunt cannulas rather than needles. Cannulas were developed in Europe as a safer alternative to needles that can reduce or even eliminate...
Radiesse in cheeks, how long can I expect to enjoy results before needing more?
Radiesse is a long lasting filler
Jul 8, 2015
Hello, Radiesse is a long-lasting filler. It is approved by the FDA to provide immediate correction for up to 12 months. It also stimulates production of collagen within your skin, which can extend the duration of your results. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dr. Hema
4 days after Juvederm ultra in upper lip only & duck bill look, especially when smiling. So afraid th
Let Juvederm in lips settle for a few weeks, then remove some if needed
Jul 8, 2015
Dear jlynn, Your upper lip certainly does look a little too full at this stage. Give it 3 weeks and see how it settles. If it's still not in proportion to your lower lip, you can dissolve out some of the Juvederm with tiny injections of hyaluronidase enzyme. I wouldn't recommend injecting more filler into your lower lip to balance things, as your whole mouth will end up looking too big. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Dr. Hema.
How safe is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is safe and effective for tightening jawline
Jul 8, 2015
Hello, Rungirl. Based on my experience of treating my patients with Ultherapy since the earliest days, and also serving as a Clinical Investigator on three of the early studies, Ultherapy is a safe and effective way to tighten your jawline. However, you cannot rely on it to remove unwanted fat. Kybella might be a solution if you are not a good candidate for liposuction. It is injected beneath your skin to dissolve unwanted fat. Kybella is now available to a selected group of dermatologists...
