Have doctors had success dissolving Vollure placed more that 3 years ago?

Question

I had tear troughs Vollure placed 3-4 years ago. Have doctors had success dissolving this filler after it had been in place for such a long period of time?

Hi @alexie78! It is very common to dissolve old filler from years ago with success. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hyaluronidase enzyme continues to be an excellent option for patients with fillers that need to be dissolved. Fillers can swell and migrate unpredictably, especially when a filler with a high-edema quotient is used in thin areas. Our office uses disciplined approaches to help patients with acute or chronic issues related to hyaluronic acid fillers. We begin by assessing for any tissue compromise and advocate early treatment to avoid complications with vascular occlusion. In chronic issues, it is important to gradually break up and dissolve filler so there is no further migration of loose filler substrate. Conservative staged dilution may also help avoid volume loss. If the filler is not dissolving, we may consider stronger concentrations or surgery.

Best,

I have dissolved lip filler in many patients years after it was injected there by other providers. There is no issue and it dissolves just like new filler does. Just a heads up though, hyaluronidase burns for 2-3 seconds after it is injected so brace yourself. Best of luck!
