Is dissolving another practitioner's filler difficult to do? (Photos)

Question

I want to get some old filler (I think Juvederm) dissolved and can no longer travel to where the doctor who injected is located. If I know (approximately) where the filler is, could a different doctor determine exactly where it is, and how deep it is in order to dissolve it? Some of it appears to have migrated, so I can't say where it is for sure? Is there a palpable difference between hyaluronic acid filler and my dermis?

Thank you for your question. Yes, another doctor can easily dissolve any remaining filler you might have. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can perform an examination to determine where the lingering filler might be and then inject an enzyme into the area to eliminate it.

Another doctor should absolutely be able to dissolve previous filler without a problem. Almost all practices offer a free consultation as well, and would be able to tell you before if they are able to help you.
