Fillers are a great option for patients looking for a softer, more youthful look. However, if misused or overused, fillers can have long-term negative consequences. In fact, patients who don't use the filler properly could speed up the aging process of the skin, which would result in older looking skin. Basically, over time, the filler stretches and weighs the skin, meaning it needs more padding with each doctor visit, which will simply stretch the skin and tissue even more.
It takes months or years for the filler to dissolve (and sometimes the filler doesn't dissolve at all) and if you keep getting more and more injections, you're simply swelling your face with more and more gel. When you put more filling than your body can hold in one place, the filling has to go somewhere and it goes south, which causes sagging. Putting unnecessary amounts of filler on the chin distorts facial balance, making the lower third of the face appear square rather than heart-shaped, which is associated with youth. Some filling may stay in place, but when the scale tilts, which easily happens, the filling has to go somewhere.
For extended periods of time, fillers can stretch the tissues under the skin, essentially accelerating the aging process “because those tissues aren't going to bounce the same way you age,” Park Avenue facial plastic surgeon Andrew Jacono told HuffPost. And make sure the filling is gone, because the filling may never completely disintegrate. The irony of all this is that fillers will almost always age you because when you overdo it, the filler accumulates in the body, migrates out of the target area, causing sagging and distortion. Hyaluronic acid fillers were originally intended to give some facial fullness to those who had lost volume due to extreme weight loss, drug use, or illness.
Influencers like Kylie Jenner and the rest of her famous family have helped make the use of facial fillers more and more common.
