Filler comes out through the pores (superficial filler)?

Question

I have seen that after i got HA filler last time the doctor did it way to superficial. You can see the filler under the skin and black dots in the pores that looks like blackheads, but when I squeeze it, it comes out clear gel ( filler). I cant go back to the same doctor. Is it risky, and is it a big risk of getting infection? Can I just squeeze out as much as i can? I have filler deeper that looks good so I dont want to dissovle it. Will the pores close when its gel in them? Its in the chin.

Thank you for your question. I suggest leaving the filler alone. Don't squeeze it. The product should settle given more time. If after a few days there is no improvement, follow up with your injector.

There are times that the filler gets extruded superficially though the skin.  I would leave it along for a few days and see if it settles.  If not, the superficial part can be dissolved with Vitrase.  Best, Dr. Green

Thanks for your question. Why would you be squeezing out your filler you paid money for?  Leave it alone – let it be and let it settle. Most dermal fillers are placed in the dermis and occasionally one might see the filler protrude out when injecting.  This is not very common and squeezing HA filler to see what might happen to your pores is all bizarre.  Leave things be!!

Hi there, When filler is injected too superficially it can be seen under the skin, which is not aesthetically ideal. However it does not put you at increased risk for infection. If the filler is hyaluronic acid ( i.e. Juvederm, Restlyane, Belotero) which is a clear gel, it will be absorbed by your skin with time. I would not recommend squeezing it out yourself, I would follow up with your injector, or find an experienced practitioner to take a look at your chin and determine the best course of action. I hope that helps.
