Dissolve Filler or Wait?

    You could do either.  The skin and contours will return to their former status using either approach.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Generally speaking, results from hyaluronic acid based fillers like Juvederm Ultra last from 6 months to a year. If you don't want to have another treatment with hyaluronidase, then you can wait until the results wear off. However, I suggest seeing your injector to determine if it is actually product that is causing your lumps. Best of luck.

Hello, and sorry to hear you were not happy with your initial result. Are you happy with your appearance following the Belotero? And how long has it been since you had the Belotero? In general, you should wait about two weeks before judging the final result or having any touch ups. The fillers are temporary. When the filler wears off or is dissolved, your face will look how it did prior to the treatment. There will be no stretched skin following the treatment, as the skin is elastic enough to withstand the minor changes that take place. From here, I would recommend the following:

1) Waiting 2 weeks after the most recent injection if you have not done so already
2) Posting photos for professional analysis if you have further questions.

I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Claremont.  Only you can answer the question about whether or not to dissolve the filler.  If you cannot stand to wait until it goes away on it's own, then you have your answer.  If you are ok with your results, but just want something better than give it a rest for 6 months and pick up where you left off.  

We have an office in Orange County and offer Vitrase injections so if you decide to dissolve it, feel free to contact us.  

Your face will go back to normal once the Juvederm etc. is gone if you want to dissolve faster you can do this but probably just waiting another three or four months to let it dissolve is probably better.
