How does my need to wear spectacles affect me post-threadlift or nose fillers?

Doctor's Answers 1

This is an extremely common question I get from my patients after a nose procedure.

There is no absolute right answer as to when you can start wearing spectacles after nose dermal fillers or nose thread lift.

For nose thread lift, I generally allow my patients to wear spectacles unless there is serious bruising, swelling or discomfort post-procedure. If you would like to wear spectacles, do avoid wearing them for lengthy periods. I always advise my patients to alternate the use of contact lens and spectacles during their post-procedure recovery period.

As for nose dermal fillers, right after the procedure and for a week after, you will want to refrain from wearing heavy spectacles that will place weight on the fillers treated area. Fillers will need a few days to a week time to immobilise and settle in place.

Please discuss with your physician about your post-procedural care.

How many subcision sessions with fillers are necessary to see results compared to undergoing subcision without fillers?

Hi, Subcision releases the underlying scar tissue and stimulates new collagen formation from wound healing. Hence results will be seen even after a single session although results are delayed for several months until the new collagen is formed. Repeat subcisions done judiciously will add to the results seen. Fillers used in conjunction with subcision results in immediate filling-in and lifting from the injected filler substance while the new collagen is being formed from the subcision. Hence immediate results are apparent even after the first session of combination treatment.

Are uneven bumps and bruising normal after fillers and Botox? (photo)

Hi, There are two issues that you have raised that need first to be considered separately then together. A. Bruising after any instrumentation such as injection is a known side-effect that can only be minimized but cannot be totally avoided. The bruising results from leakage of blood into the skin due to injury to the small skin blood vessels from the injection. 1. This side-effect can be aggravated if you are taking blood thinners, painkilllers, gingko nuts or any medication and food that may cause the blood to clot less easily. 2.
