3 years after Juvederm was injected to nasolabial folds and lips - can this be removed without scarring?

Question

I got so called javaderm injected into my nasolobial folds over 3 years ago and has not came off on it’s own. I’m not sure if I was injected with a low quality product or silicone. Now when I smile I have two lines and it looks off. They also injected my lips and have tried to dissolve them with no success that’s how I know if I dissolve it won’t work. Is it possible to remove whatever is in there without the risk of scarring?

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend to dissolve the existing filler. Dissolving migrated filler in the nasolabial folds can offer several benefits. It helps correct asymmetry and irregularities caused by filler migration, restoring natural contours and symmetry to the face. By removing excess filler, it can improve the appearance of overfilled or lumpy areas, resulting in a smoother and more balanced facial contour. I hope this helps and best of luck!

If you had Juvederm 3 years ago, none is left. Juvederm usually only lasts a year, and sometimes, not even a year. the lines are from movement, which is natural. Small amounts of Botox can calm that down.
