Can Teosyal dermal filler be dissolved completely in the nose???

Question

Hi, a few months ago I had the non surgical nose job procedure using teosyal, however it has now left my nose looking much wider and extremely big, I am so unhappy with it, I have had one session of the hyaluronidase treatment which dissolved some of the filler but still a lot of filler remains in the tip of my nose and at the bridge. I would like to know how many treatments of hyaluronidase it will take and if all the teosyal filler can be dissolved? Will I ever get my old nose back?

When somebody consults us for rhinoplasty surgery, if we feel that there is HA persisting in the nose, we will refer them for dissolving. We have seen incredible results of filler dissolving, typically within 48 hours or less. Wish to get a second opinion about this. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

This is tough to answer without pictures and needs an in-person evaluation. It can sometimes take a series of hyaluronidase treatments to completely dissolve HA filler. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question and we always recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon – we understand the fillers and the way to use them and how to dissolve them the best. One question that I do have – where did you have Teosyal injected?  This filler is not FDA approved yet in the US and so if someone injected here, I would question where they got it – or where you got it – and remember, we only use FDA approved fillers in this country.  This one is being evaluated here – but not yet approved.  Find the right provider and take care of things appropriately.
