Hi @muna321! If a Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler was used, you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck to you, Dr. Nima!
If your lips were injected with ahyaluronic acid filler, which is water-soluble theeffects can be reversible. I use hyaluronidase, a medication that melts awaythe hyaluronicacid fillers.
I suggest speaking to a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in fillers who can reverse the filler with an enzyme. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thanks for your question. I recommend that you give it a little time if its only been a few days. Sometimes after getting an injection, its not exactly how the patient thought it would be and can be a little bumpy. Massage it, if it is visible. Please see your provider as mentioned earlier, it can be dissolved away with another injection. Don't rush to judge. However, some people with very small lips or excess upper lip skin require a surgical procedure such as a lip lift or lip advancement to obtain the results they desire. Stay strong and informed.
It depends on the type of filler. I would also suggest that you allow 2-3 weeks before deciding to have it dissolved as the enzyme may create significant contour irregularity. It is always best to seek a skilled, experienced and qualified dermatologist, facial or general plastic surgeon for such treatments to minimize dissatisfaction and complications.
Yes, hyaluronidase can be used to remove fillers composed of hyaluronic acid (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Belotero and many other fillers that are not currently available in the US). Hyaluronidase works immediately and many patients see significant improvement before they leave the office after treatment. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
First, I would say if it was just done, it may take a week or two for the swelling to subside. If it was an HA like Perlan, Restylane or Juvederm, then these can be dissolved by Hyaluronidase.
Yes, Hyaluronidase may be used to dissolve the filler if it was a hyaluronic acid such as Belotero, Juvederm, or Restylane.
Thank you for your question. If your lips were injected with a hyaluronic acid filler, then your physician injector should have available a substance called hyaluronidase which can dissolve the fillers.
Thanks for your question and photo. This is normal. Swelling can last for about 24 hours. It might be best to sleep with your head elevated.
Thank you for your question. You need to be examined by a physcian. You may have an infection. Treatment would be steroids, antibiotics and reversal of the product. Consult with a local board certified injector. Best Wishes.
Great question.Augmenting your lips with dermal filler would make them appear fuller and likely help change the proportion of your face. Your nose shape wouldn't change but fuller lips could help balance your features. It is a relatively quick procedure with much less risk and...
Thank you for your question and photographs. While nothing replaces an office examination, what you may be referring to is the natural volume loss, shrinkage, and sagging that occurs around the mouth and lips. The visible appearance of this natural process may start around late 20's. The general...
There is no known medical interaction between antidepressant medications and the substances used in injectable fillers. A note on depression: with any cosmetic procedure, if you do not set realistic expectations for yourself, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and possible worsening...
I have used fat to make the red area of the lip much fuller. Having said that I would advise you to leave your lips alone as they look gorgeous the way they are. You always take the chance of some irregularity . I have not had complications using this procedure after 35 years of...
