Don't Let Fillers Ruin Your Face!! | Dr. Ben Talei | Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

[@tammyszu3570]

I'm so glad I came across this video. An injector at a medspa that I go to in Los Angeles tried to convince me to put hyper-dilute Radiesse in my face for collagen formation. I'm so glad I stood my ground and refused to put any filler in my face. She was a PA with like 15 years experience in the industry and has worked with plastic surgeons. I'm surprised she would suggest that I do something so dangerous. Thank god my usual injector is my friend from college who I've known for 18 years. No wonder she suggested Sculptra or just microneedling instead. Another injector straight up just said, "If it was my decision, I wouldn't do anything to your face. You look fine. You're the only person who notices these things." We need more injectors like that.

Your channel is seriously under viewed. Excellent speaker and so intelligent and knowledgeable not to mention approachable . Thank you!

Do not have blind trust in the competency of any Dr or nurse. A lot of people in the medical field in America are not that bright. I recently went to get cheek filler and I asked her to mark on my face and show me exactly what she was going to do. It was not what I needed and it didn’t make sense so I declined at the last minute. Always go with your gut if something does not feel right.

[@sarahm9723]

Most informative video about fillers I have ever watched!

[@joseanepereira8055]

Love your ethics and aesthetic sense with the “no, I am not gonna fill you anymore “

[@julieannpmu]

This is the most educational video on filler I have ever seen!!

[@juliafish8832]

As always much needed honest information that we all need. I am saving to visit Dr Ben for a full face lift, he is the only one I would trust!

[@visionvixxen]

Doctors are funny because I look at the fads…. Botox… then eventual atrophy and fillers for the atrophy…. Then fillers last too long and or change texture too much, so now hyaluronidase to dissolve the fillers… and then new thing, deep plane facelift… Hate to say it but depending on a doctor’s new thing or new fad, and only until they have or offer the new thing, eill they disparage the old and suggest a new. Common knowledge that your paralyze a muscle over and over again, you get atrophy… did any surgeons admit to this until the past several years? Nope! But it’s common sense…. So don’t think you’ve found the greatest new thing everytime. Facelifts can be great, but be warned that blood supply changes as a result and no matter how shallow or deep the work, you eventually get skin thinning as a result. There is also always the potential for nerve damage and asymmetry… And let’s not forget- I’m not anti, but every time you go under anesthesia you suffer brain cell death of some sort and risk actual death. Just the facts. Having said that, make informed decisions and trust no one but yourself if you are a critical viewer of things and a family member who’s a doctor and not in the elective surgery field.

Omg 😳😱 I’m 39 and I got radiesse on my face to “build collagen and lift” I ended up just looking square and loosing the natural contours of my face for the first 6 months 😏. Now I feel my face looks like it always was but I’m king of worried after watching this video 😩😫😩😫. I’m just hoping it will be gone soon and I won’t have any problem with it.

[@sarahmicro]

Hi I am 39 as well. I got Radiesse too 6 months ago and I finally choose to do a facelift. because I was not happy anymore with fillers.. During the procedure, my surgeon found a huge inflammation (white bumps) in the area were Radiesse was injected and it caused damages under my skin...... She showed me a picture of how it looks like. So honestly this surgeon is right.

[@thevcountdown9824]

@@sarahmicro A facelift with 39??????

[@Saibu-uo4ts]

​@sarahmicro how long after having the Radiesse did you go for the facelift? And was it diluted Radiesse? Also...did she explain what the white bumps are? Are they permanent scarring or what? Thanks so much!

[@katniss4670]

So to summarize, don’t get fillers .

[@erikafirst817]

Wow I ALMOSTT GOT FILLERS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

[@lanael7278]

Could you talk more about lip filler removal? Does injection of hualoronidase cause hollow spots? How can deflated lip skin be rejuvenated? Thank you.

[@natashaj5450]

Thank you so much for this information. I lost my normal smile and my filler nurse couldn’t tell me why. I knew it was due to filler or Botox but nurse couldn’t explain it. Now I know it’s because of the filler in my cheeks and NLF. Makes sense.

[@sabirasaifuddin426]

Dr. you made good points about filler limitations & s.e but you are not talking about s.e of plastic surgery & complications. Honestly, the facial expressions, smile, shape everything changes sometimes for worse with plastic surgery as well. The question is which one someone will choose. Fillers deform the face but can be temporary or can be dissolved but many plastic surgery are far more invasive, very expensive, longer down times & results may be irreversible. I just wish you would also talk about greater risks & unnatural results of plastic surgery.

[@louisevincent639]

This is why I love you Dr T, honesty ❤

[@marypettit716]

So informative. Wish I knew this before I got fillers

[@wendyblue7021]

Thank you Dr. Talei! I appreciate your advice and will be very careful when doing fillers.....

[@honeybadgernasty]

I had Sculptra injected into my temples that left me with big nodules that look like horns. My doctor flushed them with saline 3 times with no improvement. Recently she treated them again with a cocktail of hyaluronidase and steroid with no improvement. Can you please recommend anything else to dissolve them? I'm desperate and crying daily from this deformity 😭😭😭

[@rachelbachel2]

Do not get Hyaluranidase injected again before reading about the risks. You got lucky that you had no adverse effects the 1st time. Doesn't mean you won't have negative consequences next time. Hyaluranidase is way more dangerous than just leaving the filler in

[@honeybadgernasty]

@Rachel Bachel really??? Have you had bad experience with it?

[@CriscianaLovely]

You have to surgical remove them😢 im sorry! Sculptra creates permanent scar tissue

[@Rebecca-ys3cb]

Yep my lips were perfect. Until the second injection which was not done even! So annoying from the first day and than they try to tell me it’s my lips which are uneven not the injection. So much lies when they do a BAD job. The first time the injections just disappeared so quick and I loved it. Second one one she used a different product which I didn’t know and I’ve never been happy. Few years later had my cheeks etc down absolutely loved it for 5 months than it started disappearing unevenly and I looked so dam weird and I thought it was me.. but a year and a half later I realise it’s not me, as it’s mostly gone. Except for my lips. I refused to get more filler at going for fat transfer with a very experienced injector who will not out fat into the lips or under the eyes.. so it seems like she knows the trouble areas.

[@monicastraub3372]

Scupltra works great for me. I have very little fat in my face naturally. Very lean athlete. Filled my hollows well enough to look healthy and look very natural. No one guesses i had anything done until i told them. I don't care to hide what i do.

[@lifebelle5430]

Thanks doctor. If I understand you well any filler or biostimulator based HA, CaHA, PLLA ... increases collagen and inflammation leading to fibrotic tissue especially in the SMAS which is a problem for facelift. So in the case of injection it would be judicious to inject only in areas of low consequence fibrosis during a facelift and which can be red off in a facelift, i.e. near the ears and under the ear at the jawline angle or in areas that the surgeon does not try to stretch during facelift like the chin, on the nose and near the nose, forehead ? You said microneedling plus PRP does not cause fibrosis which is good. is it the same for microneedling+exogene retrieved stem cells or exosome or growth factors or profhilio ? In order to rejuvenate the SMAS without fibrosis would it not be judicious to inject PRP or exogene retrieved stem cells or exosome or growth factors into the SMAS ? Many thanks.

[@rekahara7259]

Hello Doctor, I recently found your channel and it’s absolutely amazing and eye-opening. I have a question, if I got Sculptra.. Can I still get face lift surgery let’s say 2 years after being injected with Sculptra?

[@p.celestialskyy247]

So how do we treat the under eye dark circles ?

[@Nsh311]

What is better for under eye cheek junction filler or fat grafting. If fat grafting to treat under eye hollows what is the best donor site? Thank you

[@Yulenyaka]

I did fat transfer on my whole face. It disappeared within 3 months. Almost 5K for nothing 🙈.

[@mariapadilla7501]

TY, very informative!. Only did HA fillers a few times eons ago to lips and zygomatic. No desire to continue.

[@Yoursmores]

I’ve always been interested in Sculptra but I can’t find a doctor who does it in Japan. Ellanse and Humallagen collagen injections are more popular here. Are they safe?

[@dandelions2414]

How can I know f I have scar tissue or lumps from HA? 2 months ago I was given Beauty Boost using Redensity 1 from the Teoxane range under my eyes. It left me puffy and 2 weeks later I had red light therapy and the therapist without asking me gave me a lymphatic massage around my orbital area and ever since I have a huge swollen eye with a noticeable lump. I think cause it was new it did something to the filler. Since then I tried to massage the lump away but now I have even more lumps. Did my massage under eye maybe cause scar tissue which is the new lumps or is it likely HA? I dont know what to do and hate how I look now.

[@BinkyTheGoddessDivine]

OMG! Thank you Doctor. Best advice I've ever heard.

[@merrinfrancis6955]

So are you saying never get filler? Or just be smart about it? If you get it - what’s the best way to do so the most safely without ruining your natural face?

[@justagirl7780]

Holy shit when I think of all the brand new injectors out there doing this oy

[@larayne]

Could you talk about filler in the submalar cheek area? I am quite deflated there but my doctor said it‘s not an area that should be filled. She didm‘t explain why though.

[@westb3789]

What do you think of microneedling with a pen (without heat) for collagen stimulation ? :)

[@chelsealaw9211]

I prefer microneedling with a derma pen at the med spa. It's way better than rf microneedling. Be cautious who you have do this a lot of places don't use the pen, but I feel like the results are way better.

[@mariachrysochou3360]

Great advice doctor, thank you! What is your opinion on Gouri?

[@dailydaily5243]

How do you treat deep sunken eyes? Volume loss?

[@annsumrall2593]

So confused...why are qualified drs doing fillers if they are so bad for you

[@TheYazmanian]

Follow the money!

[@DerangedDollface]

My aunt got radiesse injected into her smile lines a few years ago, and it has changed the way she smiles-is there anything that she can do to reverse the outcome?

[@kristinahill2641]

notice this doctor never replies to anyone.

How to get rid of scar tissue in lips without surgery?

[@jenA9026]

Too late! I've been using fillers for 20 years now. I'm of the generation that everyone learned about these disasters from 🙄

[@MaylingNg]

Thanks for the info 👍

[@mazduh1566]

I had lipo on my neck 16months ago and the left side of my jaw looks empty he over did it, i went to another plastic surgeon and he used filler, its not fantastic but it looks a lot better. He used restylane and said it will last a year and need to get it re done. Is it ok to have it done every year?

[@Andypandieful]

Nope. Get surgery to fix it.

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

Just an ad to sell his stuff over others! Dont fall for any of it.
