Should I let my nurse injector 'squeeze' my lip filler out?

Iam just a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, but I do not think you can extract HA fillers by squeezing them out after 3 months. Might need to get another opinion or someone else who might have better luck dissolving it. Are you certain it was really Juvederm?

Hello and thank you for your question. A face to face consult and examination is always best however in this scenario yes if filler is superficial it is possible to lance it out. Please always seek treatment from a trained medical professional for any cosmetic treatment. Best wishes

Hello, it depends on what product was injected and where, but after 9-12 months, most HA fillers should have "gone away" on their own. Hyaluronidase can certainly help dissolve unwanted areas of filler. However, "squeezing" out filler is generally not possible unless an excess amount was freshly injected fairly superficially. Since your filler is nearly 12 months old I would not anticipate that this would feasible. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to examine and reassess you, as one of the possible complications of filler is a granuloma, or a lump of scar tissue due to chronic inflammation, and this would be something that would not dissolve with hyaluronidase.
