These are all tell-tell signs of filler fatigue.
In short, filler fatigue is described as the over-injection of a single spot.
Sadly, as dermal fillers grow in popularity, more cases of filler fatigue are being seen in patients.
For example, lips with too much filler tend to have a notable fullness above the lip.
“Anatomically, every patient will present differently,” Dr. Bal explained toHarper’s Bazaar.
When conveying her expertise withHarper’s Bazaar, she shared that injectors often recommend incorrect procedures for patients.
Sometimes, they advise recipients to get fillers to “lift” cheeks or jawlines when this is impossible.
Dermal fillers can only contour the region it’s injected into.
Aside from giving you an unfavorable appearance, the possibility of dealing with an unknowledgeable injector is extremely dangerous.
This can lead to necrosis, strokes, or other health conditions, per theFDA.
An unskilled injector can also fail to recognize the signs of filler fatigue.
If they do, this is another red flag.
Medical intervention is necessary only if filler fatigue has evolved beyond this.
Thankfully,dissolving filler is an option.
During this process, the enzyme hyaluronidase is used to break down the hyaluronic acid.
Depending on the area and how greatly impacted it is, multiple dissolving sessions may be needed.
Surgical removal may be the only option if dissolving fails, though this can be incredibly complex.
As a best practice, avoid frequent jabs and find a highly qualified injector.
Pay close attention to the price as well.
If it all sounds too good and too cheap to be true, it likely is.
