Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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.

Assuming these are hyaluronic acid fillers they should be removed with a large dose of hyaluronidase enzyme. Once the old material is removed, you may want fresh filler to provide a fraction of the volume you are demonstrating here. Less is more. If you had some other type of filler such as silicone oil all bets are off.
