Myth: “Fillers often migrate to other areas of the face.”
Fact: When performed correctly, dermal fillers stay exactly where they are placed. Filler migration is very rare and typically linked to factors such as improper injection technique, using the wrong type of filler for the treatment area, or receiving too much product.
Why Fillers Usually Stay Where They’re Put
New formulas: The hyaluronic acid fillers we have now are made to stick around and blend in with your skin, thanks to some cool science stuff.
Careful placement: Good injectors know exactly where to put the filler, so it stays where it should. They use special tools to get it just right.
Breaks down, doesn’t move: Fillers don’t really migrate. After a while, your body just absorbs them.
Easy fix if needed: It’s not common for hyaluronic acid fillers to move, but if it happens, it’s easy to fix. A shot of hyaluronidase will dissolve it. Most fillers last from 6 months up to 2 years, and then they just fade away on their own.
🔥 What’s Hot Right Now for 2025
Tiny amounts: Instead of big shots of filler, doctors are now using tiny drops for really exact results, which also lowers the chance of migration.
Better stuff: Fillers like the RHA® Collection are becoming popular because they move like your own skin, so they’re less likely to shift around.
Honest talk: People want to know about safety, so good clinics are being open about it. They’re clearing up fake news and gaining people’s trust.
