I'm tired of seeing every other thread on here act like filler is gonna slide off your face and make you look like a horrific botch job. Let's actually talk about this properly, from someone with cheekbone filler.
Migration is real but massively overstated
Yes, filler can migrate. No, it's not going to happen from normal life. The shit on tiktok you see are almost always one of three things:
When people say "filler migrates bro it's over" they're genuinely coping because they got bad work done or they're lazy rotters doing anything but looksmaxxing. Filler isn't gonna ascend you from ltn to cl but placed correctly on the cheekbones or midface it will sharpen the ogee curve and improves the light reflection pattern.
What actually matters
Conclusion
Filler is just a band-aid on underlying skeletal structure, they're not custom implants. However, if you're maxillary deficient or have a weak infraorbital rim, no amount of filler is gonna fully compensate. The whole "fillers are cope and migrate anyway" bs is just what rotters say.
TLDR: Filler migration is a skill issue and a volume issue, not an inherent property of the procedure.

- Massive overcorrection (5ml+ in one area over time)
- Low-viscosity filler used in the wrong plane
- Incompetent injectors going superficial when they should be deep

What actually matters
- G prime (stiffness) of the product, higher = less migration risk
- Injection plane, nothing other than periosteal
- Volume per session, 1-2 ml
- Injector anatomy knowledge, this is 90% of it tbh, if your injector is some bimbo then expect your shit to migrate
