Do I need to dissolve Hyacorp filler before BBL?

Dear PendingDoll,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

It’s technically not necessary to dissolve fillers before doing the fat transfer other than if it’s distorting your natural contour. If it’s been resolved or is no longer giving it’s a fact then you’re probably fine to move forward too fat transfer.

150 mL of hyaluronic filler sounds like it would be an expensive treatment for something temporary.

Hopefully you’ll find the right plastic surgeon to do a nice job for you with fat transfer.

It’s important to find the most experienced provider in your community.

For that reason I would encourage you to have lots of it in person consultation to try to find the one with the most experience.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

Hi and welcome to our forum!Hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-12 months before resorption by your body's naturally occurring hyaluronidase. Residual fullness in the areas of injection for a longer period of time most likely would represent internal scarring. It is best to wait for resorption of all "foreign" materials before embarking upon a BBL. Allow the inflammation, swelling, and hypervascularity of healing following filler injection to completely subside to minimize infection and bleeding risk. A considerable amount of hyaluronidase would be required to accelerate dissolution of the remaining product, and removal may be incomplete. Hyaluronic acid is a vvery inefficient and cost-ineffective buttock filler due to the volume of material required... (with BBL, we usually inject 350-1000 cc per buttock).Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...
