Hi there,
Ellanse fillers are very viscous (thick) and high G prime (high lifting power ) and they stay where they are injected. That means they cannot migrate unless purposefully manipulated .
Sometimes, after treatment , if lidocaine has been used to perform nerve blocks for the forehead injection of ellanse fillers (as ellanse fillers doesn’t come with painkillers, some patients find it a bit discomforting during forehead ellanse treatment without nerve blocks ) , the lidocaine will need a few days to subside as well .
That may seem like ellanse has “migrated” downwards but it’s actually the lidocaine.
Usually this doesn’t happen if small amounts of lidocaine are used during the ellanse treatment. The amount of lidocaine used depends on the patient’s personal pain threshold.
Anti-swelling medicine is usually prescribed if larger amounts of lidocaine is used during the treatment, which will reduce the post treatment swelling massively. Be sure to take those medicine religiously as the ellanse doctor prescribed.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Dr Israr Wong
