I have 3 on one cheek, pretty shallow. I had a little Juve put in 1 area, and it smoothed out. Then a little in the 2nd area, and it looks WORSE! Seems it made the area next to it look a little "depressed" now. Not sure if I should go back to have a little more filler put in the depressed area now or leave it be. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this. Thanks.

Sometimes they have to break up the scar tissue (with a wire) that tethers the pit down before they add the filler. (subcision)

Okay I went back today and she put in a little more in the areas bothering me, but then she put the needle in and was kind of fanning it around. She said she was "releasing" some of the filler and scar tissue I guess. End result - it looks PERFECT now. I can't believe it my cheeks look scar free for first time in years!!

Sounds like you had what I suggested in my prior post: 'subcision'. chloe1011 wrote:Okay I went back today and she put in a little more in the areas bothering me, but then she put the needle in and was kind of fanning it around.

Yes Miss J, it seems she did something like "subcision". But I thought true subcision was more invasive than what she did.
Thanks Sarah!

Thanks Sarah! I've had subcision and it can be fairly invasive if you have it done over a broad area, not so much if it's just in one or two spots. They just go between the dermis and subcutis with a special instrument to tear up the bound down scar tissue, although I believe you could probably just use a large needle and get the same desired effect.

"Fanning" is also an injection technique. Quote:MedscapeCME: Four basic techniques have been described for dermal filler injection: linear threading, serial puncture, fanning, and crosshatching. Could you briefly describe these techniques?
Dr. Moynahan: Yes, and actually there are 2 basic techniques that are utilized in the administration of fillers: those being the depo, which is deposition, and threading. Depo is the injection of an aliquot amount of product administered as a bolus with serial injections. Threading requires that the product be injected as a continuous uninterrupted line. The threads may be injected horizontally as parallel lines in either a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction. Horizontal and vertical threads administered at right angles to one another comprise the crosshatch or grid technique. The use of multiple threads injected from a single point of entry all originating from the entrance point and injected on the diagonal is referred to as the fanning method. Of concern when using the fanning method is that if the base of the fan is approached, the base of the fan must be taken into consideration so that there is not an overfill of the area.
