From Mid-Face Overfilling to Full-Face Overfilling: A Heartbreaking "Correction" Experience

She originally booked a consultation with me for mid-face overfilling.

As soon as she entered the clinic, I sensed something was amiss. Not only was her mid-face showing signs of overfilling, but why were her temples and pre-auricular cheeks also puffy? This didn't quite match the description on her appointment slip.

I gently asked her, "Have you had any other treatments done elsewhere during this time?"

She replied somewhat sheepishly, "Yes. While waiting for my appointment with you, a friend recommended a doctor, touted as a 'master of de-overfilling,' saying he was incredibly skilled, so I thought I'd go see him first."

She continued, describing how this "master" immediately identified her mid-face overfilling, appearing very professional. He then told her:
"Absolutely do not inject fillers into the mid-face again. However, your sagging cheeks need lifting, and outer contour fixation is your best option."

Immediately after, he injected 10 units of Ellansé into each temple and each cheek.

    So, the current situation is this:
  • She was originally troubled by overfilling in just one area, and specifically spent money hoping to improve it.
  • She visited a "master" who was supposedly best at treating overfilling.
  • The result? After the treatment, her entire face became overfilled.

On her consultation form, I regrettably had to change one word for her:
Mid-face overfilling → Full-face overfilling.

This case once again reminds us how crucial it is to choose a professional and experienced physician on the journey to beauty. Improper treatment not only fails to solve the problem but can even make the situation significantly worse.
