Not when they're done right. The goal of dermal filler treatment at MAX MD is to enhance what's already there, not change the way you look. When fillers are administered by a skilled, experienced physician, the results should look completely natural. People may notice that you look refreshed, well-rested, or more youthful, but they shouldn't be able to point to exactly why.

The key is in the approach. We take the time to assess your facial anatomy, your natural proportions, and your personal goals before a single injection is placed. Filler is added in small, precise amounts to restore volume where it has been lost, soften lines, or enhance features in a way that complements your face rather than overwhelms it.

Overfilled or "obvious" results typically come from too much product being placed at once, the wrong type of filler being used for a particular area, or treatment by someone without the proper training and anatomical knowledge. At MAX MD, our philosophy is always subtle, balanced, and natural-looking. We would rather have you come back for a touch-up than overcorrect in a single session.

If you have seen results on others that looked unnatural and are nervous about that, we completely understand. Bring those concerns to your consultation. We will walk you through exactly what we plan to do, how much product we would use, and what the outcome should look like before we begin anything.

Correcting dermal filler results may be possible depending on the type of substance injected into the skin. Since most of the dermal fillers that Dr Srivastava  uses are made of hyaluronic acid, then a simple injection of hyaluronidase is enough to dissolve the fillers and correct the treatment.

Dynamic wrinkles come from repeated facial muscle movement. Dermal fillers can soften them, but wrinkle-relaxing treatments such as Botox® are generally more suitable for dynamic lines, while fillers are better for static wrinkles. Dr. Srivastava can recommend the right combination at your consultation.

Yes. Lip fillers can add volume, definition, and balance to the lips while keeping a natural appearance. Dr. Srivastava will discuss your goals at consultation and recommend the right approach for the result you want.

The answer depends on the type of fillers injected. Some of them last for only 6-12 months while others can stay on the skin for up to 5 years. There’s no direct way to extend the length of your dermal filler, but good skincare habits and aftercare practices can affect how long they remain effective.

Dr. Srivastava will review your medical history and goals at consultation to determine whether dermal fillers are appropriate for you, and can discuss alternative options if not.

• Are diagnosed with bleeding disorders
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are allergic to lidocaine or other ingredients of the lip filler
• Used blood-thinning medications
• Are under 21 years old

During your initial consultation, Dr Srivastava can determine if you are a qualified candidate for dermal filler injections. If not, we can recommend alternative aesthetic treatments that can help you achieve your beauty goals.

Most lip fillers last between 6–12 months depending on the product used and your metabolism.

When performed with advanced technique and facial balance in mind, lip fillers enhance volume while preserving a natural appearance.

Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Topical numbing is used to ensure comfort, and most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable.

Dermal fillers restore volume beneath the skin, lifting and softening the folds that create marionette lines.

Most fillers last between 9–18 months depending on the product used and individual metabolism.

Smile lines deepen due to natural aging, volume loss, and repeated facial movement. Dermal fillers restore support beneath the skin to soften these folds.

When performed with proper technique, fillers restore natural contours without creating an artificial appearance.

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for the rest of the day. Skip strenuous exercise, alcohol, and significant heat (saunas, hot showers) for 24–48 hours. Sleep slightly elevated the first night and avoid pressing on the treated area. Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Contact the office with any concerns.

Exercises and other strenuous physical activities increase blood pressure, which puts you at risk of developing bruises near the treatment area. Most bruises take about 2 weeks to completely fade.

Sleep slightly elevated on your back the first night. Avoid pressing on or rolling onto the treated area while sleeping, which can shift filler and increase swelling or bruising in the first 24–48 hours.

This includes sun exposure, as well as hot environments like saunas and hot showers. The injected area might react with the heat, causing redness and irritation to show. It might also increase the blood flow on your face and promote bruising.
