Is it possible to dissolve Voluma?

Fortunately, Voluma can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that works to reverse any treatment using a hyaluronic acid filler. That being said, sometimes additional filler placed skillfully in the lower face can create a beautiful result-especially the chin! It is important to find a skilled physician who understands the anatomy and balance of the lower face. I encourage you to make an appointment with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist that is also an expert in injectable procedures for an in-person assessment and treatment recommendations. I wish you all the best!

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Yes, Voluma can be dissolved, even years after injection, using hyaluronidase. In some cases, multiple treatment sessions may be needed. I recommend starting with a consultation to evaluate the area and determine the best course of action with a skilled provider.

If Voluma was the filler product used in your chin treatment, it can be dissolved to revert back to your original facial structure. Typically, a provider will inject a small amount of hyaluronidase directly into the area where the filler has been injected. The amount of hyaluronidase used may range from a few drops to a few units, depending on the specific case.
It's important to note that while hyaluronidase can be an effective method of removing filler, it should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with this procedure. Incorrect use of hyaluronidase can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, so it's important to seek treatment from a licensed medical professional.

Hi @Rhea13! Luckily, Voluma is a Hyaluronic Acid Filler. Thus, it can be dissolved with Hylenex. I would recommend dissolving the product. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for this great question! 
I think both of the abovementioned options can bring you satisfying results, the choice just depends on what exactly you want to change or what kind of result you want to achieve. In that, you should consult with a specialised cosmetic surgeon and take his suggestions into account when making your decision. 
If you're not satisfied with the results of a hyaluronic acid treatment, you can always 'reverse' it using Hyaluronidase, which dissolved hyaluronic acid!
Best of luck! 

Hi Rhea, I suggest getting a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert to discuss your aesthetic goals and weigh your options. If you decide to remove the Voluma, then yes, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.When performing a Chin Augmentation in our practice, we typically use fillers like Radiesse as well as Sculptra to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease. Implants are great alternative if you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.
See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It is possible to dissolve Voluma, but an examination or photos of you would be needed to determine if that might be the best option for you or not.  As you mentioned, a possible alternative could be to leave the Voluma and fill in other areas to balance your chin area.  

Voluma is an HA filler and therefore can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. Sometimes it takes more than one session to get the targeted filler dissolved. See an expert injector for your treatment.

Thank you for your question, every patient is different sometimes filler can last longer it all depends on how your body dissolves the Hyaluronic Acid. Luckily there is an option to have your filler dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase can be used as an aid in helping your body absorb other injected medications. I recommend having an in-person consultation in order to go over your options. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist. 

It is difficult to answer that question without pictures or an in-person exam. I really depends on the appearance. In general I usually prefer to dissolve incorrectly placed filler first and then start again. However if it is just a small indentation that can easily be corrected by adding a little filler that would be the way to go. It is also possible that the irregular appearance of the chin is caused by an overactive muscle in which case adding a little Botox can be great to smooth out the chin. Good luck!
