Lip filler migration. Should I have it dissolved?

Hello, and thank you for your question. It is hard to determine if any filler has migrated, especially without seeing pictures or seeing you as an in-person consult. Half a syringe is a very small amount, and if it was placed 2 years ago, it may not be fully present but still possible it could have migrated slightly. I would recommend seeing a provider in person to see if it truly is filler that has migrated and if this can be dissolved! Hope this helps!

Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

Best,

Hi @Soannoyed247365! Getting the filler dissolved is a personal choice. If the filler placement is bothering you, I recommend you go to a skilled injector and get the filler dissolved with Hylenex. Best of luck to you!
