The right dermal filler treatment can elevate your natural facial features, contouring your natural allure and beauty. You’ll suddenly restore your confidence and self-belief.

Unfortunately, sometimes, facial contouring might not come out as expected, and you’re left with poor outcomes. Worse still, you have to manage and fix it.

Luckily, our guide can help you fix face contouring mistakes caused by dermal fillers.

Why Face Contouring Goes Wrong

There are a few reasons why filler face contouring can go wrong. These can include:

Incorrect injection technique
Wrong filler product selection
Excessive or not enough filler
Poor aftercare guidance and management

There are two more primary red flags that can cause issues: visiting an unqualified and non-certified “professional” that does not have the experience or medical background to carefully and safely administer dermal fillers. Secondly, the use of fake fillers that have not been approved by Health Canada. These can be dangerous to your health, resulting in long-term issues.

It’s imperative that you only get dermal fillers in Calgary and Edmonton from a professional, certified professional who uses approved products.

Signs of Contouring Mistakes

There are very distinct signs that the contouring treatment has gone wrong. Here are some of the signs you should keep a lookout for:

Persistent Puffiness: Normally, you’ll experience puffiness for a few days after treatment. However, if the puffiness persists for more than a few days, it could be because of too much filler or vascular occlusion, where the injection has been injected too close to a blood vessel. It’s important that you visit a certified injector soon to reduce any potential problems.

Asymmetric Fullness: If you find that the shape and contour of your face are too full, it could be a sign of asymmetric fullness. This occurs when too much filler was injected. This is also a common problem for lip injections, also known as “duck lips”.

Uneven Face: Do you notice that your facial features are unbalanced and uneven? Chances are that inaccurate injection technique has resulted in major off balances. You should be treated as soon as possible to restore your natural contour.

How to Fix Face Contouring Mistakes

So, you’ve had a bad experience with dermal fillers, which has left you with some poor results. What’s the next step to take?

Ultimately, it depends on the condition and status of your previous treatment. You will require an assessment from a certified and trusted injector (like Juvea!) to determine your next steps. There are a few ways we can proceed from here:

If you need to reduce the amount of filler in your face, we can dissolve it by using hyaluronidase, which is a soluble protein enzyme. This protein destroys the bonds holding the hyaluronic acid in the skin. However, you will have to wait around two full weeks for the results to take effect. We can then reassess your facial structure and symmetry, providing you with a clear treatment plan going forward, so you get the best results possible.
If there is unevenness or unbalanced features due to insufficient filler, then we might not have to remove it. We can simply realign it with a tad more filler, balancing out your facial features perfectly. Once again, we’ll have to have a consultation with you to discuss your personal goals, before explaining how we’ll apply the filler so you get the transformation you want.

Botox is more than just cosmetic treatment; it can have a positive effect on your life – both physically and mentally – and your lifestyle.

Wondering how that’s possible?

Let Juvea Aesthetics explain how Botox works and how it will renew your life in this all-important article.

What is Botox made of?

Botox is made with the highly purified protein clostridium botulinum, which in large amounts can be toxic. However, in the small doses that are administered through Botox, it is a safe and effective treatment.

As for how it works, that’s simple: it blocks the nerve signals in the muscles, minimizing the impacts and effects of aging. The muscles stop “weakening”, resulting in smoother appearances and more redefined skin. In the end, you’ll feel younger, more confident and full of life.

But that’s just a few of the benefits that come with Botox.

How can Botox Restore Your Confidence?

As a leading medi-spa in Calgary and Edmonton, we’ve witnessed firsthand the positive effects that come with Botox treatments. Too often, the label is that Botox is merely for cosmetic tampering, but we’re seen that it has powerful inner-personal effects that can change a person’s outlook and outcome. Here is how:

Boost Self-Esteem

No one in the ’30s wants to look like they’re in their ’40s, and the same applies to those in their 40’s not wanting to look in their 50’s. Whether it’s due to wrinkles or fine lines, or just the natural wear and tear of the skin, your confidence can sometimes take a battering when you don’t look or feel your best. You might feel less sure of yourself and who are you are supposed to be.

Botox can provide you with the boost that restores your self-esteem and your self-worth. It smoothes away the appearance of aging, leading you to have renewed skin and a youthful appearance. Many of our patients report higher self-esteem and improved self-confidence after getting Botox from us.

Maintain a Youthful Zest for Your Life

When you combine a younger appearance and restored confidence and self-belief, you’ll restore that youthful zest that makes life more exciting. Now that you’re filled with confidence, you’ll feel more inclined to do things, socialize, and explore new adventures. That, in turn, will make you happier with life. And it all started with Botox.

Can Help with Medical Conditions

Botox isn’t just for restoring your youthful glow; it can help with multiple medical conditions that can put a damper on your social life. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), urinary incontinence or overactive bladder, migraines, muscles spasms, and TMJ pain can all have a debilitating effect on you physically and mentally while impacting your self-belief and your life.

Treating these conditions with Botox will not only make you feel better but give you the boost to take on the world without worrying about these conditions taking over your life. You just need the right injector to help you with your treatments…

The Importance of the Right Injector

Too often, people walk out of Botox treatments in Calgary feeling no different and don’t notice any changes. Why does that happen?

In most cases, it’s because they didn’t get the right treatment plan that restores their facial features and delivers the results they want. It could also be incorrect injection techniques, inappropriate product selections or poor aftercare advice. This all stems from the injector.

That’s why going to a qualified and certified professional who has received the required medical training to administer Botox treatments is crucial. You want someone that understands the importance of facial anatomy and symmetry and who can use your unique profile to deliver the life-changing results you want. You need someone like Juvea Aesthetics!

You’ve gone ahead and got lip injections.

You’re hoping for plump, luscious lips, but instead, you’re noticing that results aren’t turning quite as you expected.

Could something be wrong?

Even though dermal fillers are used for lip injections (and with the main ingredient being hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found in the body, thereby reducing chances of allergic reactions), sometimes, poor injection techniques, incorrect product choice, or mismanaged aftercare can end in poor results.

Therefore, it’s important to know the why and how, so you can take immediate action when it happens.

Signs Your Lip Fillers Have “Gone Wrong”

You should always remember that post-injection, you might experience some bruising, swelling and itchiness around the treatment area. That’s just part of the process that comes with injectables.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on the signs where something is not quite right. Here are some that you should look out for – and how you can treat them!

Uneven Lips: Do you have “duck lips”? Or is one side of your lips thicker than the other? Chances are you could be experiencing uneven lips, also known as “asymmetrical fullness”. This occurs when an uneven amount of filler is injected into the lips.

To combat this problem, you’ll have to get more injections to balance out the uneven lips.

Lumps & Bumps: Another side effect of poorly placed and uneven lip injections. Lips that are bumpy and lumpy, and that do not subside within 72 hours, might indicate a problem.

Treating this condition requires a firm massage to even out the bumps (best let an expert do this) or utilizing hyaluronidase, an acid that breaks down the dermal fillers.

An Infection: If you notice excessive redness, bleeding or pus, chances are you could have an infection. Even though they are rare (remember that lip injections include hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found in the body, thereby reducing the chances of allergic reactions), they can still happen.

Your best bet is to visit your local physician and get antibiotics to stop the infection from getting worse and spreading.

Overstretching of Lip Tissue: Regular users of lip fillers might experience a slight “dip” or “sag” in their lips if they constantly inflate their lips. The tissue of the lips might start to stretch over time.

To ensure this doesn’t happen, consult our experts and get a safe routine process in place before and after your lip injections.

Necrosis: The worst of the worse. Poor injection techniques can result in the fillers blocking the blood vessel causing your lips to discolour, develop white spots, become cold to touch and blister. You’ll also experience severe pain that doesn’t subside and is outside the regular recovery period pain.

If you believe you have necrosis, call our medi spa in Calgary or Edmonton or your doctor immediately to get treatment.

Botox can replenish your natural skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of aging. At the end of the treatment, you’ll be left with youthful-looking skin.

Unfortunately, sometimes these treatments do not come out as expected, and you’re left with the dreaded “botched Botox” face. It can be a terrible experience.

So what do you do?

In this blog, we’re going to discuss the signs of a botched Botox job and what you can do to fix it.

The Signs of a Botched Botox Job

There are many clear-cut signs that the Botox treatment has turned sour. While redness, bruising and itchiness around the treatment area are completely normal (it’s part of the recovery process), you’ll notice if you have major problems:

The Frozen Face Look

If you have a robotic-looking face that doesn’t express any emotion or feels and looks plastic, chances are that you have the “frozen face” look. This occurs when the practitioner has over-injected you with Botox.

Drooping Eyelids or Eyebrows

Drooping is, unfortunately, a side effect of incorrectly injecting the Botox into the muscle, causing it to relax way too much and descend. You’ll end up with a heavy-feeling forehead as your eyes and skin begin to sag.

Lop-Sided Facial Features

If you notice that part of your face is too perfect and the other is too uneven, you could be experiencing a case of a lop-sided face. Some examples include an uneven smile, eyebrows, and forehead. This occurs when too much Botox has been placed on one side of your face and is not evenly distributed.

The Mr. Spock Style

If your eyebrows are permanently raised, much like you have a surprised look on your face, you might be experiencing the Mr. Spock face. The famous character from Star Trek always has his eyebrows raised, and while great in the world of TV show space travel, it’s not something you want for everyday life.

How to Fix Botched Botox

So, you’re going through a botched botox experience in Calgary. What’s the best course of action for you to take? It all depends on your situation and your desired look. There are two ways you can alleviate the effects:

Allowing time to pass for the Botox to settle. Botox can take its time to start working, so sometimes, you just have to wait it out. It’s not the best thing to read, but in some cases, it’s the best thing to do.
Add more Botox if needed. In the case of drooping or sagging facial features, sometimes more Botox can re-balance the treatment area. You might have to wait for the Botox to subside before proceeding with more injections.

While these are valuable ways to help combat a botched Botox job, prevention is the best course of action you can take.
