Will hyaluronidase correct an uneven lip augmentation result?

The use of hyaluronidase for dissolving excess hyaluronic fillers (such as Restylane or Juvederm) is a not uncommon. Other approaches to improve excess filler or lumpiness includes insertion of a hypodermic needle to extract (aspriate) the product.

• Before a physician uses either of these approaches it is essential to evaluate the lump  to make sure that it is specifically excess product and not a granuloma or other type of mass that may potentiall occur after filler injections.

• Before you visit another physician, obtain your past injection records and insist that this include product brand names and the lot numbers from any product injected into you to verify the legitimacy and origin of any injectable. (It is an essential and appropriate practice that the lot number or a sticker bearing the lot number of any dermal filler be recorded in your patient record at the time of injection).  The brand and lot number will also be valuable in researching whether there have been adverse events associated with the particular product lot that you received.
