Myth: Everyone can tell if you have had filler injections because the added volume is obvious


Your Results:

Jones says this is "absolutely untrue. The majority of my patients walk out of here and once things have settled, no one knows they have had anything done. That's what we want." Like all plastic surgery, anything done correctly and in moderation can look natural. And to avoid bruising (one tell-tale sign that does eventually fade) the doctor advises that you should stop taking Advil, Aleve, aspirin, etc. a week before an injection treatment. These medications thin your blood making you more likely to bruise.

So what about all the people and celebrities we see that look over injected and fake or plastic? Dr. Jones says doctors should tell patients when enough is enough and turn them down when they want more, if they don't need it, but this doesn't always occur. "It makes sense that if you [the doctor] are using more product you're making more money, so if someone is asking to put more in, some people [doctors] will say 'sure' I'll do some more." But any good cosmetic dermatologist won't want anyone walking out of his or her office looking unnatural, and will only give you what you need, nothing more, says Jones.
