Can you dissolve only one side of filler?

Sensible2407Feb 23, 2023
I recently had Teosyal RHA 4 - it was only placed along cheekbones and I don't like the look. One side is just about OK, but the other side is lumpy where the injector tried to fill out a dimple. Can you dissolve only one side of filler? I'm very frightened of using hylaurondaise. This was my first ever filler anywhere and was not long ago, so I wonder if my face will go back to how it was before? Photos will not post

I would titrate the Hylenex so that the results are improved with Hylenex reversal. If you have filler migration, you may need more than one session. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Hi @Ellajane501! This does appear to be filler migration. I recommend dissolving your lips and starting with a fresh canvas. I also suggest using a different filler. I hope this was helpful!

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is commonly used in dermal fillers. In some cases, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve excess filler or to correct filler that has been injected improperly. Hyaluronidase works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules,...

Hi, Thanks for your question. Unfortunately without pictures it is not possible to give you a specific answer. In aesthetic medicine, complications could happen but the most important is how to prevent/reduce or correct them e.g. dissolve the filler (if required) and re-filled them. This...

I'm not sure what the question is, but you do bring up a very good point. Although we typically say that HA fillers will last 6 to 8 months, that does not necessarily mean that all of it will go away especially when a big bolus of filler is injected. Sometimes your body will encapsulate the...
