A patient asked 7 years ago
I would like to get beletero filler for static horizontal forehead lines.....they are there etched into forehead so the lines are there when I am not raising eybrows....I do not want botox because I do not like the way it looks and I don't want to freeze my forehead....I am very expressive and I still want to be able to make expressions....my concern is am I going to still be able to make expressions without the filler moving around and lumping up or turning into bumps?

Will Belotero Move after Injection

  Hi and thank you for your question! First off and if I may, I wouldn't completely set aside Botox as it can still greatly help reducing the lines without affecting you natural expression. The key is to have it done at experienced hands and by a physician who is highly experienced in Botox treatment and well familiar with the anatomy of the face and its muscles. I do several hundreds of Botox injections every month and vast majority of my patients keep their natural expressions. Now regarding Belotero moving, unlike the popular belief that fillers may easily move following injection, it is actually quite difficult for fillers to move. Specially in the case of Belotero, it is a pretty loose filler and it distributes nicely under the skin, so I wouldn't worry much about it moving after the injection. I hope it helps and good luck!
