I was curious how dissolving filler works. Will it dissolve it in a seamless way or will bumps and chunks of filler remain and look uneven? I got Restylane Lyft in my chin and I think the filler came up too high on the sides so I only wanted to dissolve the sides where I think it looks too bulky.
Answer: Hyaluronidase Hyaluronidase is the enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid fillers. It can be administered in very small aliquats to precisely dissolve unwanted hyaluroinc acid filler.

Answer: Hylenex can help smoothe out areas of filler Hylauronidase has many advantages and should be considered in patients who are unhappy with their results or in acute cases of overfilling or occlusion. Its often better to reverse filler and restart then to deal with long term edema. Filler migration and permanence is a very common problem because there are many different types of HA fillers on the market and each is specified for a specific part of the face. Use of highly cohesive fillers on thin skin may cause swelling and nodularity. If patients have filler migration or nodules, we recommend a combination approach of filler reversal with enzymes Hylenex and Hyaluronidase in different strengths to dissolve the filler. We may also need to add Kenalog to the mix in order to reduce fibrous tissue. If the filler does not dissolve, it either means the filler is not HA material or we need more enzyme. The HA reversal can be combined with other lasers and skin treatments at the same time, and it usually (usually) does not affect adjacent tissue. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Hyaluronidase Good question! Best to go to your original injector who should know where the HA was injected. There is no exact science in terms of predictability as to the impact of the hyaluronidase injected. Hope this helps.

Answer: Hyaluronidase for dissolving HA fillers Thanks for your question. It may be challenging to inject hyaluronidase and get it to stay so localized within the chin that you dissolve only the filler that you want to dissolve and keep the parts you want to keep. Maybe not impossible, but I think it will be hard to do. You are better off waiting for the filler to reabsorb completely or have it completely dissolved with hyaluronidase, then redo the chin augmentation in a fashion that pleases you. Just my opinion based on what you have said and without any photos to go off of. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Dissolving agents Many rely on dissolving agents after uneven fillers however make sure you go back to the same physician who placed the initial fillers for dissolving the affected area for evenness
