Microneedling and PRP
Sep 26, 2019
Microneedling and PRP can have a drastic improvement on the quality of your skin but will not add volume to your face. I hope that helps.
Good luck!

Will Botox or filler stop my top lip curling inwards when I talk & help uneven li
Fillers and toxins for lips
Sep 10, 2019
Hi and thanks for the question,
Yes. You are correct that a small amount of toxin (such as Botox) could stop your lip curling in. You would need to allow this 2 weeks to fully settle before considering any filler to add volume to this area.
Asymmetry can be due to a difference in volume or a difference in muscle activity. The muscle activity has to be corrected first before seeing whether there is a volume difference as well.
Please see an experienced injector as placing Botox into the…
Will Botox help my many fine lines that appear as soon as I move my eyebrows even
Forehead wrinkles
Sep 10, 2019
Thank you for the question.
Yes, Injections such as Botox or Dysport are brilliant for these sorts of lines and wrinkles that appear when you move your face. Treating your forehead should also not leave you with a frozen face.
If you find that the skin in this area is thin then a treatment to plump this up may also be a very good option and give a longer lasting result. The options for this would either be PRP or a HA filler based treatment such as Profhilo, Viscoderm…
Can I request my Voluma be dissolved?
Dissolving Voluma
Jun 8, 2019
Thanks for the question.
Yes, it does look like the Voluma is sitting in your cheek fat pads and dissolving it would help. This is fairly straightforward but can take more than one go.
Good luck!

Is somebody who is on ‘save face register and British Association of Cosmetic Nur
Qualifications
Jun 8, 2019
I agree with the previous answer that being registered with SaveFace and BACN should be reassuring.
You should feel free to discuss this with your injector! Ask him/her about their training, their insurance, how many of these cases they have done, how they recognise complications, what their plan would be if they thought you had vascular occlusion or impending blindness. They should be able to confidently answer all of these questions without being offended.
My patients often…
Can different types of filler be used in the same area (e.g. Radiesse + Voluma)?
Different fillers in the same area
Jun 8, 2019
Thanks for the question.
There is no reason why different fillers cannot be used in the same area.
I would also say that fat can be an excellent facial filler and has the advantage of being permanent as well as improving the overlying skin. However you must see someone who is very experienced in this area and understands how best to treat the fat between harvesting and placement, otherwise you risk getting a lumpy result.
Good luck!

I received Voluma in my cheeks/lip lines and it looks worse than when I started.
Smiling lines
Jun 8, 2019
Thanks for the question. As has already been mentioned Voulma should not be injected into the skin in this area as it is too thick and will not move well with expression (such as smiling). If the plan was to use filler within the dermis to plump out these lines then I would recommend an alternative filler.
I would suggest seeing your injector to discuss your concerns.
Good luck!
