Episode Transcript

Hello and welcome to today’s episode of “Aesthetic Medicine Minute” – it’s March 7th, and today we’re delving deep into a topic that’s important for anyone considering fillers: filler migration. 

In the world of aesthetic medicine, dermal fillers can be a game-changer, offering a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. However, new insights are revealing that filler migration is something we should pay close attention to. Let’s break it down. Filler migration occurs when the substance injected moves away from the original area to another part of the face or body. Although not very common, it’s a reality we must acknowledge. Factors contributing to migration include the type of filler used, the amount injected, and, importantly, the technique and expertise of the injector. 

My colleagues at Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic and I emphasize the importance of going to a qualified professional. A meticulous approach ensures we uphold our practice’s pillar of safety and expertise. Remember, less is often more, and it’s crucial we aim for natural results. In some cases, patients might not even be aware that their filler has migrated. Signs can be subtle: an unnatural fullness or distortion in the area. An expert’s eye is often needed to assess and correct this. In the event of migration, options for management include dissolving the filler with an enzyme or letting it naturally break down over time. Prevention, though, is key. This includes a comprehensive consultation, a customized treatment plan and precise execution. 

Even though filler migration can sound worrisome, rest assured, it’s rare when you’re in the hands of seasoned professionals. At our clinic, we’re not just injecting fillers – we’re sculpting confidence with an artful touch, because everyone’s beauty is unique. Remember, doing your research, choosing an experienced provider, and following best practices reduces risks and enhances satisfaction. 

That’s all for today’s episode. Stay tuned for more insights into the world of aesthetic medicine, where health esteem and personalized care always take the spotlight. Thanks for listening, and let’s continue embracing a look that’s authentically you.
