Dear Dr. Seckel: I am 30 years old and have received Restylane a few times in my nasolabial folds and lips with great results. However, two weeks ago I had it in very mild depression-lines on my cheeks. Instead of smoothing out the lines, the filler caused two ridges, looking like GIANT (very gravitated) tear-troughs!!! I basically think he injected too much, the depressions I had were hardly noticeable before, but 0.7 ml was injected totally in two areas of 1 inch each. The doctor admitted the bad result and apologized for the undesired outcome and have now ordered hyaluronidase to reverse the treatment. Now I am worried that the hyaluronidase will not work or resorb my own soft tissue as well! I am panicking!!! Will the skin look saggy after this? Also will the Resty in my lips and nasiolabial folds disappear as well? I am desperate. Thank you in advance Kara, Boston, MA

not inject hyaluronidase-it could cause other problems and make things worse.

You wont be deformed, as all fillers dissolve in time usually at most by 6-9 months, rarely a year

Dear Dr. Seckel, Marionette lines - know what they are? Need to know if they are better treated with Botox or another injectable, which begins with “R”, have forgotten name. Thank you. Marcia, Maynard, MA

Dear Marcia,
Thank you for your question about Marionette Lines. They are those deep lines that form below the corners of your mouth and run down onto the chin. Many people complain that the Marionette Lines give the face an angry look. They are called Marionette Lines because they resemble the mouth of a puppet or […]

Dr Seckel, How do Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, Collagen, Hylaform, Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast remove fine lines and wrinkles from the face? Thank you, Arlene, New York, NY.

Dear Arlene,
All of the agents you asked about are called soft tissue fillers and are non-surgical facial rejuvenation agents. Typically soft tissue fillers are used to camouflage deep facial lines like the nasal labial fold and marionette lines and scars and are not typically used for fine lines and wrinkles. soft tissue fillers can achieve […]

“Dear Dr. Seckel, I have developed lines (or folds) that go from the corners of my mouth down to my jaw. I guess it’s just gravity at work, but I have to say I am VERY self-conscious. It’s only in recent years that I started noticing them, and they became more pronounced when I lost some weight. Is there a creme you can recommend to firm this area, or can it only be resolved by surgery? Help! I am getting tired of hiding behind my hands! Thank you,” - Cynthia, Andover, MA

Dear Cynthia,
You can stop hiding, help is available!
The lines you refer to are called Marionette Lines because they resemble the lines on either side of the mouth of a puppet - remember Mr. Bluster on the Howdy Doody puppet show? They are an extension of the Nasal-labial Fold Lines that run from the side […]
