@drwhitneybowe: My last video on face fillers has been shared almost 200 times! It generated so many excellent Q's. That MRI clearly showed that HA fillers last much longer than we previously assumed they would. To follow up on the explosion of Q's I've gotten on that video in DM and in the comments, here are 5 pro tips when it comes to using fillers: I use HA fillers in the tear troughs and above the lip VERY sparingly. I often rely on a non-HA filler called Sculptra which would NOT show up on this MRI because it’s considered a biostimulatory filler- stimulates your own collagen production. I combine fillers with other procedures like microneedling, Fraxel and Sofwave that complement the fillers so we actually need LESS filler to accomplish our goals. Have your injector examine you closely every time you come in before injecting anything. I can inject the same filler in the same 2 patients and one can break it down quickly while it can last for years in the other. Don’t underestimate skincare. Drop Q's below and share this video with anyone who you think is curious about the facts behind dermal fillers. #dermatology #dermatologist #drwhitneybowe #filler #fillers #fillers💉
