Fillers won't go away, help!

Question

I have had lip filler since i was 18 years old, im now 35. 5 years ago i got them dissolved due to migration and got revolax injected. I now want to do a fat transfer bc i dont want to have a foreign object. But the filler wont go away! I dont want to do dissolver again bc i have seen my friends get horrible side effects. What are my options?

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

You do not have friends with horrible side effects from hyaluronidase. The enzyme does not wreck the skin. It does require an injector who knows how to remove ancient filler. This requires several round of large dosage enzyme treatments. Likely you do not need fat transfer which is honestly a terrible procedure. Likely what you need is your ancient fillers removed. Hope you get the care you need.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you have HA fillers you can either wait for them to be metabolized naturally or you can have the dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase.  Serious side effects from this enzyme are not common.  I encourage you to visit with an expert injector to discuss your concerns and learn more about your options.
