Cost to Dissolve Juvederm Same As Juvederm Injections?

Question

I want to dissolve Juvederm from top of my mouth. Does it cost as much to remove Juvederm as it does to inject Juvederm? I have too much on my left side and it's uneven.

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

I typically charge $400 to dissolve Juvederm in a single session if the patient had their injection done elsewhere.  For my own patients, I don't charge if they ever choose to reverse the effect of Juvederm.

It varies from injector to injector, but I would think most injectors would not charge much if at all for hyaluronidase. It is fairly inexpensive, and an easy procedure to perform. I'm sure your provider will be willing to work with you

Richard J. Bruneteau, MD · Answer

The vast majority of patients who undergo treatment with
injectable fillers are extremely happy with their results. Unfortunately, we occasionally see patients
who aren’t happy and want their procedure reversed.When
this situation arises, the ability to reverse the process is entirely dependent
upon the injectable filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be easily reversed with the enzyme
hyaluronidase. Fillers in this category
include Juvederm, Perlane and Restylane. Hyaluronidase
is inexpensive relative to the cost of Juvederm. Although the cost of this treatment varies
from practitioner to practitioner, in most cases the cost would be in the $250
to $350 range.If
you’re interested in reversing your Juvederm injection, it’s important to
consult your surgeon. Your surgeon
should be able to formulate a treatment plan and discuss the cost as well.

Thank you for your question and photo, Every office has differnet policies on how they handle filler corrections or dissolving of filler. In our office if we injected the filler then we will dissolve it free of charge, however, if a patient comes to us with poor filler results, that was injected by a different office, then we charge to dissolve the filler. Typically, the cost to dissolve the filler is cheaper than what was paid for the filler. Hope this helpful, and Good Luck

Richard Ort, MD · Answer

Juvederm can be dissolved with injections of Hylenex or Vitrase.  The cost for this should be significantly less than the cost to inject the Juvederm.  All offices that inject fillers should have the medicine to dissolve Juvederm on hand at all times.  If they don't have it immediately available, go elsewhere for your care.

Thomas McFadden, MD · Answer

Great question!  Hyaluronidase is relatively inexpensive and should not cost nearly as much as your Juvederm injections.  However the person that does the injections needs to know what they're doing, so make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon who is well versed in hyaluronidase injections.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Juvederm is a great facial injection.  However, if too much product is place or injected too superficially it may need to be dissolved with Hyaluronidase.  The Hyaluronidase should cost approximately $250 per injection.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with Juvederm for the best cosmetic results.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Please seek out a board certified experienced injector who has a thorough knowledge of the facial anatomy and can help you achieve a more symmetrical result. The cost will depend on the skill of the injector. Please keep in mind that the cost of hyaluronidase alone is also quite expensive.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

While fees and policies vary from practice to practice, hyaluronidase per vials is a lot less expensive than fillers like juvederm and restylane. Like with the original filler, it is best to go to an experienced physician to request hyaluronidase performed.

Elaine R. Cook, MD · Answer

Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane) and can be very useful if an area needs to be reduced.

	
	Very occasionally I need to reduce an area or a small bump from an area I have injected with Juvederm. In that case I do not charge the patient  and treat them for free as I consider this part of the original treatment.

	
	I do have patients who come in after being treated elsewhere and request that I dissolve an area. They do not have the original injector do it either because the injector doesn't know about it hyaluronidase, or the patient has lost confidence in the injector because of a bad result. In those cases I charge a fee based on how much of the hyaluronidase is required. It is not as expensive as Juvederm but it is expensive and unfortunately, it is in short supply from the manufacturer right now.
