Could I treat a filler migration line with dermal fillers? I don’t want do dissolve it (Photo)

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

Hello humorous:

Actually the best and only way to treat thus is to dissolve the excess filler, and then, if necessary, reinfect a different filler in a smaller amount. This migration above the upper lip can occur if lips are overfilled or injected in the wrong plane. Certain fillers may be more likely to migrate.

Be sure to consult an expert, an advanced injector, in lip fillers, a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with many years of experience with different lip fillers and an understanding of lip anatomy.

All the best to you!

By using thread like mint threads we can lift up your cheeks and jowls so the area can smooth out. May still need to dissolve a little of the filler for best results.
