The effects of injectable fillers that are composed of hyaluronic acid, such as Juvederm, Restylane and Teosyal, can be reversed with an injection of hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid. Permanent fillers that are composed of other materials can be removed surgically.
You are able to dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase if a hyaluronic acid dermal filler was used like Restylane or Juvederm. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Hyaluronic Acid based fillers like Voluma, Restylane can be reversed with Hyaluronidase, which is injected into the area that was treated with a filler. The more permanent fillers like collagen will have to be removed surgically.
Undesired results after hyaluronic acid based dermal fiiller injections can be managed in the following way:1. Wait as the product is reversible so will dissipate and disappear over time.2. Hyaluronidase injections - this enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid within 24-48hrs3. Touch up the results with further injections to improve the result. Hope this helps!Dr Rupert
The vast majority of patients whoundergo treatment with injectable fillers are extremely happy with theirresults.Unfortunately, we occasionallysee patients who aren’t happy and want their procedure reversed.Whenthis situation arises, the ability to reverse the process is entirely dependentupon the injectable filler used.Hyaluronic acid fillers can be easily reversed with the enzymehyaluronidase.Fillers in this categoryinclude Juvederm, Perlane and Restylane.Artefill,Sculptra and Radiesse are fillers that don’t contain hyaluronic acid.When patients are unhappy following the useof these agents reversal can be difficult.Since hyaluronidase doesn’t work in this situation extraction of thematerial is the only viable option.Unfortunately this procedure doesn’t always work and can be difficult toperform.Whenpatients are unhappy with the results of injectable fillers they should consulttheir surgeon.In some cases, theprocess can be reversed by using hyaluronidase or mechanical extraction.
