Filler migration not dissolving (Photo)

Loving580973Mar 6, 2024

You can mainly see this “lumpy” bit when there is overhead lighting. I have tried to get it dissolved twice but it’s still there. How many times should I try to get it dissolved without it affecting the tissues around that area? What are my other options? Should I try an ultra sound or MRI

I am sorry that you are having this issue. There is a possibility that this problem is one of filler-related lymphatic obstruction (lymphedema). If so, it can be a persistent and particularly difficult one to treat. HA fillers have the distinct advantage of being able to be dissolved with the...

Hyaluronidase is a common filler dissolver, but other enzymes like collagenase are also used. Discuss with your provider if an alternative enzyme may be suitable for your case. Best of luck !
