Options for ArteFill lumps?

I have lumps in my laugh lines from ArteFill/Artecoll injections around 4 years ago. Is there a way to dissolve it and allow the body to absorb it, or a safe way to remove it? Thanks.

A: Artecoll Bumps

Dear Skin Care Miami The management of the bumps from Artecoll is either by steroid injection or excision.  Either must be done carefully so as to not create another problem. The Steroid injections must be repeated for long term effect- usually at 4 week intervals. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD
