Hyaluronidase with MRI or ultrasound? (Photo)

Question

I once tried to completely dissolve my lip filler and had a bad experience. After like 6 appointments, it still wasn't totally dissolved. I eventually tried to even it out by adding new filler. That was over a year ago. My lips currently look like crap and I think I need to completely dissolve the filler I still have. Does dissolving with the aid of ultrasound (I've also seen MRI?) make a major difference? Is it worth the extra cost?

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

The problem with the majority of patients is that they want immediate results and will usually have one or two treatments using Hyaluronidase. This is actually not the right way to go about this. The best way to address poor results and God knows I see lots of those from spas and doctors who are not qualified, is to use multiple injections of hyaluronidase, two weeks apart, using very, very low dosages of hyaluronidase. This way one can control where and how much of hyaluronic acid is being dissolved. Once the process is over, a new filler can be placed correctly or completely avoided, and that is strictly up to the patient. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
