Can ArteFill cause bumps in your skin?
An esthtetition said she is working with a woman who had injections in the marionette folds & after two years it has left beaded lines. Is this a common side effect?

Artefill can rarely cause tiny bumps under the skin. This is usually from the product being injected too superficially.
Be sure the injector is very qualified and has a lot of experience with this product. Since this is a permanent product it should be a Dermatologist or Plastic surgeon doing the injections.

I just got Restylane above my lips (the smoking lip area), and after 3 hours it was completely gone. I am scared to try Restylane under the eye due to my skin absorbing the product too fast. My physician recommended I get Artefill. Would that work? I am 40 years old and my eyes are not too bad.

I had ArteFill injected in November and immediately saw results, but the results disappeared after about 1 month. Since the bovine collagen was absorbed, will my face produce collagen in those areas in order for it to fill back in?
