Can I partially dissolve cheek filler?

Question

I have restalyne filler in my cheeks, I initially got 0.5 in each side in February, then added .25 to each side in March. I was happy with it, but I ended up getting another .25 on each side in June. I feel that there is too much now, it makes my face look more gaunt a nd tired. I was wondering if it is possible to dissolve some but not all of my filler? Or any other way to make the filler go down?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Humorous376845,
Thank you for your question. Yes, cheek filler can be partially dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers.  A skilled medical professional can strategically inject hyaluronidase to dissolve and modify the filler. It's important to consult with a qualified injector to discuss your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Keep in mind that the degree of dissolution can vary based on factors such as the type of filler used and the amount injected. Return to a trusted physician/clinic! Hope this helps! Best, Manish Khanna, MD FRCPC.
