Jawline filler for jowls - how to remove?

Question

Hello. I have been experiencing very mild jowl’s . To help with this I recently got .7 of radiesse posterior and anteriorly to the area subtle area of laxity. I love my rn but he also threw in a small bead of radiesse in the area of the laxity to lift the Joel but now it looks more prominent. Good news it wasn’t more that .1-.2 cc but enough yo emphasize it more. Any suggestions how to to either remove this or mask it? Will I need to do more around it till it starts to dissipate? How long lasts?

I'm sorry the procedure gave you an undesired result. There are a couple of things you can do to remedy the situation.

1. Hyaluronidase (Hylenex): Considering the slight prominence caused by the additional Radiesse, one effective option is to consult with your provider about using hyaluronidase, such as Hylenex. This enzyme can help break down and dissolve the filler, providing a targeted solution to address the specific area of concern.

2. Massage: Gently massaging the affected area is a secondary option. This method can be effective for small amounts of filler, and since your practitioner injected only  .1-.2 cc, it could work for you. Keep in mind it may not completely eliminate the filler from the treated area, though.

3. Time: Another option is to allow time for the filler to naturally dissolve and be metabolized by your body. While this process may take several months, it is a non-invasive approach that allows the body to naturally remove the filler over time.

Best of luck to you!
