Hey there. I am a 29 year old male who has had filler once in my life. I had half a syringe of restylane under each eye (I have genetic eye bags), and half a syringe of a thicker filler called Voluma in each cheek (I have very flat cheeks also genetic).
Anyway, I had them about 5 years ago. After two years they dissipated about 50 percent. Then after that, they just continued to remain at about 50 percent for years up until a few weeks ago.
I got a vaccine (The last time I have had a vaccine of any type was when I was 21, before fillers).. Well I got the covid vaccine.
In the evening the fillers in my left and right cheek got hot and tight feeling. The left even started hurting.
Basically, the vaccine, as it has been reported to do, ending up causing inflammation in my fillers.
A couple of days later, my facial shape is different. I wondered why.
Then I felt where my fillers are. Turns out I could barely feel them anymore. They had inflamed, swelled, and literally disappeared. I called my surgeon from years ago. He said other people who get vaccines with fillers (not just cpvid vaccines), sometimes have the side effect where the inflammation of the fillers occurs in response to a vaccine, and sometimes during that inflammation, the filler is literally degraded too in some cases.
Well it happened to me. And to make things Worse, clearly some of it even migrated to the left part of my jawline making my face look weird and off balance.
Just a warning. Fillers indeed can be effected by vaccines.
