Dermal fillers have increased in popularity over the last few years as more and more consumers see the positive effects of volume expansion to reverse the signs of aging in the face. It is doubtful that you will experience any complications when you come to a professional medical center such as ours. However, we’ve encountered a few errors that clients come to us to repair, and we want you to know what they are so you don’t step into the same pitfalls.

 

What Exactly is a Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are similar to Botox but are injected at other sites in the face. We use FDA-approved fillers, and during our consultation, we will decide on the correct formulation for you, depending on what you want to gain from the injection.

Fillers are ideal for filling up hollow areas in the face, or they can reduce the appearance of scars on the hands, but it is not approved to be used on other parts of the body. If you prefer plump, rosy cheeks or fuller lips, the fillers will have a lasting effect from six months to two years.

5 Dermal Filler Errors You May Encounter
Firstly, it’s advisable to know the side effects you could expect and the signs of poor-quality fillers or techniques because there is hope.

We can help you repair a bad dermal filler experience and will give you the correct treatments after consulting and analyzing the situation. Here are some errors you should avoid and keep in mind when you want to apply fillers:

1. You may think that the filler did its job, and your cheeks look full and healthy, but it’s important to inspect and ask someone to look at your face from all angles. We will ensure that your profile looks full and plump from any angle.
2. This flaw can be especially evident below the eyes. The correct amount of filler can make ‘hollow’ eyes look healthier and help with dark circles. When too much filler has been added to the cheek site, though, it could appear that your eyes are swollen.
3. Face shape. When adding fillers to the bottom third of your face, you have to take your entire facial profile into account and that things will ‘go south’ as you age. Adding too much filler to your mouth and chin area may give you a more masculine or “droopy-faced” look, drawing attention away from your eyes.
4. Unrealistic expectation. This principle applies especially to lip fillers. Plumping them up too much may give you an unnatural appearance, and it will be evident that you’ve had treatment. Gradual lips and plumping around the mouth can provide you with the natural look you want, and you can gradually go bigger if you so wish.
5. Asymmetry – If your face doesn’t look quite the same on both sides, we can easily correct that with hyaluronic acid that will dissolve the filler or add more filler to the side you feel is out of proportion.

Testimonial from Veronica, Satisfied Patient
I just relocated from New York and so happy to have found this gem! I’ve been coming here for about 6 months now and I absolutely love the quality of service, the warm and friendly staff, the cleanliness of the spa and overall vibe! I’ve had a different clinician each time and everyone has been so genuine and professional. The pricing is excellent with frequent deals and extremely reasonable packages and my results have been amazing. After trying a few spas around San Diego, this has quickly become my favorite by far.
