Hi there
Sorry to hear of your concern. It is certainly possible to remove small amounts of filler, but it is not easy to predict how much will left after and cannot guarantee that you would keep the shape that you desire. If you were going elsewhere to rectify the problem you may find that many practitioners would prefer to completely dissolve the fillers before starting again.
Unfortunately it is likely you would need to repeat the procedure to achieve the desired result. Either that, or wait for nature to take its course and for the volume to naturally break down.
All the best
Sorry to say but any chronic inflammatory disease would contraindicate injectable aesthetic procedures.
If it is still something you would like to explore, then I would recommend you enquire as to which mesotherapy product would be used and ask for the opinion of your gastro consultant.
Best of luck
Hi there,
Sorry to hear of your concerns. Firstly to give accurate advice, I’d need to know which product was used and if you have any other symptoms such as heat, redness, oozing.
The inclusion of these symptoms would indicate an infection but this does seem an unlikely scenario. Excluding this, it is likely to be a delayed inflammatory response to the filler or a delayed onset nodule (aka DON). This occurs when a pocket of filler becomes encapsulated in tissue. It will often feel hard and can be uncomfortable. If a simple inflammatory response, perhaps in response to a recent illness ie cold or flu, when it will settle on it’s own. If a DON then it may be that you require treatment to resolve it.
Either way, I would recommend returning to your original injector for support and advice.
Hi there,
Very difficult to say without a physical examination, however from what you describe it sounds as though the filler has not been placed deep enough to sit on the bone. If this is the case, you can either leave it to settle with time or have it dissolved. I would recommend returning to the original injector.
Hope you find a solution
Hi there,
From your photo it looks as though you have significant loss of volume in the cheeks which is contributing to this issue. I note you say you have had 2ml dermal Fillers in the cheeks but I suspect you would need another 4ml to achieve your desired effect, distributed according through the mid face and around the mouth. You may also find a treatment called Profhilo effective but as an addition to the Dermal Fillers not an alternative. Surgery is certainly an option but suspect a surgeon would recommend restoring some volume to the mid face also; whether that be implants or filler, I shall leave a surgical colleague to answer that.
Best of luck with your
