Can I have a consultation if I had filler elsewhere?

Find out what to request from your previous clinic and how existing filler can affect the next decision.

Request the product name and treatment record

Ask your previous clinic for the product name, date, areas treated and amounts used, if available. Mention any previous dissolving or complications. Photos from before treatment can help show what was already present.

Explain what has changed and when

There is a difference between a shape you have always noticed and a new change after an injection. Bring a timeline and, if you have them, photos taken under similar lighting. This gives the practitioner a better starting point than a single close-up.

Allow time for an assessment

Existing filler or uncertainty about the product can change the plan. A consultation may lead to monitoring, further assessment or a staged approach. If you have new or worsening symptoms after a recent injection, contact your treating clinic promptly.
