Fillers can disrupt normal anatomy, persist in the body for longer than one year, stretch ligaments, and change tissue structure, making future surgical procedures more challenging.

“I will find that filler has disrupted normal anatomy and so decades later the companies will tell you that filler only lasts one year in the face and you have to refill it. That's definitely not true. Really, we see I have patients coming in who don't mention that they've had fillers in the past, but then in surgery, I will see filler in their cheek or in their face because they had it eight or 10 years ago and it's still there. And it's stretching the ligaments. It's changing the structure of the tissues. It actually makes routine surgical procedures later more challenging.”
